Kez's spells will have low cooldowns. Valve seems to want the game to be mo... View more

IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

My prediction for Kez for the Kez prediction contest on r/DotaConcepts. I think Kez will be a mobile and evasive agility carry. Emphasis on evasion. He gets evasion from 2 of his abilities, and his innate gives him free counter attacks with lifesteal every time he evades an attack, even if that attack pierces evasion. Kez's spells will have low cooldowns. Valve seems to want the game to be more about fighting so I think low cooldowns are a given. Kez will be weak versus damage from spells as his strength gain is bad and evasion obviously does not work against spells. Kez has absolutely 0 crowd control. Not even a weak slow. I think Kez will almost exclusively be a carry.
