The most important new feature of patch 7.39e in Dota 2

The most important innovation in patch 7.39e was the addition of Kez to Captains Mode almost a year after his release. This means that the hero will finally be available for selection in official Dota 2 matches.

Kez appeared in the game on November 8, 2024, but the developers have only now decided to make him available for tournament matches. Given this, we can assume that the pro scene meta may change dramatically.

Kez main feature is the ability to switch stands, meaning he has two sets of abilities. However, the hero is unlikely to become very popular among esports players, as he is considered one of the most difficult characters in the game alongside Invoker.

On the other hand, many pro players call Kez a truly versatile hero: he has saves, heal, powerful attacks, and the ability to dodge enemy attacks.

As a reminder, Valve released patch 7.39e, which significantly changed the matchmaking situation.
