New Meta! Old Heroes? Edition.
Total Games: 35
Radiant Winrate: 43 %
First Pick Winrate: 51 %
Tier S (100 % - 90 % Pick/Ban Rate)
New week, new Meta, new Hero on top! Beastmaster takes the top spot even with small nerfs in 6.87.
Tier 1 (90 % - 60 % Pick/Ban Rate)
The Buffs are showing. Axe is Back! Both Axe and Lich jump straight to Tier 1. Doom, Puck and Queen keep rising in popularity, even without beeing touched directly with the last patch.
Tier 2 (60 % - 30 % Pick/Ban Rate)
The Nerfs are showing. Earth Spirit, Invoker and Chen plummel to Tier 2, Death Prophet to Tier 3 and OD right out of my Report. The new Hero to look out for is Slardar, thanks to the Armlet buff.
Tier 3 (30 % - 10 % Pick/Ban Rate)
The Big Shuffle. Various Buffs and Nerfs aswell as the low sample size results in a lot of change in the lower Tier. We will probably see new Heroes rise and old favorites fall in the next few weeks. Who knows what the next big thing might be.
