Kez

Kez: Melee, position 1 (carry), Escape, Disabler. In patch 7.41f the hero has a 45.4% win rate in pubs and a 4.2% pick rate.

When it comes to strategy, Kez tends to wing it — he's able to swap on the fly between his katana and sai to slash, dash, swoop, and parry as the needs of the battlefield demand. But when he puts his mind to it, he can account for any eventuality, choosing the right tool to attack, escape or simply outwit his enemies with a little advance planning.

A review of your Kez game

Sign in with Steam and pick a match: the coach reads the replay second by second and in a couple of minutes shows where the game slipped.

  • Every death and fight becomes a moment on the map: the fog of war as you saw it, and what the enemy saw that second.
  • Your pace against the Kez benchmark: 620 GPM for an average player, 714 for a good one.
  • Timings against pros: they have Mage Slayer by minute 13, and the coach shows where you lose time.
  • Five-game homework the coach checks in your next review, plus a chat with the coach about the match.
