About Kez

Kez is the newest Dota character and arrived with the new chapter of Crownfall, with the promise of changing not only the lore of the game but also the gameplay. He’s a Flithless, a young warrior who must lead a rebellion to restore the reign in Skywrath.

Kez has been available for use in matches for just over two weeks, and since his release, there has been a lot of talk about this hero due to his abundance of abilities and Valve's history of releasing new characters that end up needing to be rebalanced soon after due to being too broken.

Kez's winrate is currently quite below 50% in all positions, which can be considered a low performance, but analyzing the data from recent matches and considering the rate at which the hero is selected in matches, we can see that, as expected, many players have been choosing Kez in competitive matches at the highest ranks, and this can be a determining factor for a low winrate.

I believe that since the hero is still new to the game, a lot about him still needs to be tested further, such as builds, play style, etc. This includes his position in the team. In the vast majority of matches, you can see that Kez is chosen as a Hard Carry, the most obvious role for a melee hero with combat skills, but what if there are other roles where he can be more useful?

In this article, I will present a different and more fun build proposal for this hero, thinking about how he can behave in the Support 4 position. It’s important to emphasize that the objective of this article is simply to propose a fun and creative strategy, but one that is still functional, exploring this new character to the fullest.
