It’s not a surprise to see this hero rising in popularity before TI since it was always one of the go-to choices at the event. The last hero worth mentioning from the top 10 is Faceless Void. Enchantress is a great example of a niche pick becoming an overall threat: a strong offlane and mid core, great laner and versatile hero may become one of the most popular picks at TI9, similar to offlane Wraith King a year ago. After several buffs in a row the hero was trending in Immortal games and one of the best off-lane picks today. Together with Meepo and Lycan it may be a “pocket pick” for TI9.Īnother hero worth noting is Enchantress. Considering the meta of tanky melee cores being one of the worst nightmares for the hero, it’s quite surprising to not only see Visage rising in popularity, but also being quite successful. After the most recent buff Visage is now almost 50% of median picks (which is valuable by itself, but the number of hero's picks was only 27% of the median and just 6% of Ember Spirit’s number) with a respectable 58% winrate. These two heroes have been niche picks for almost a year now and haven't had much attention. Some interesting things happened to Lycan and Visage. All of those heroes lost significant portion of their pick and win-rates, which was enough to drop their rank and knock them out of the top 10. The same thing, surprisingly, happened to Wraith King, Huskar, Io, Shadow Shaman and Sand King. The hero still remains the most-picked, but his win-rate dropped almost 8% over the last two patches. Firstly there was a significant win-rate drop for Ember Spirit. Game Modesĭespite the 7.22e patch being relatively light, meta changes are still significant enough to identify. It also leads to some interesting insights. I'm leaving these median hero stats because it's good to understand the average values and comparing heroes is much easier using these numbers. Individual players spotted in matches: 33,376 (includes Immortal players who lost their rank).Related: A time for heroes: Competitive trends of TI9 qualifiers Summary In some cases uncalibrated players or those who got to play with nine immortal players in game may get through. I'm using STRATZ API filters for that, minimum match rank is set to 80 (immortal). I'm not checking all the matches by myself as it would be too time consuming (requesting every single match and checking its average rank). It considers the popularity and win-rate of heroes to rank them.
