10 heroes emerged from Berlin Major as Dota 2’s new meta-defining picks
The Dota 2 Berlin Major is over, but since it was the first major tournament after the New Frontiers patch, the data it provided on hero picks and win rates could reveal a lot about what works in the new meta. Ten heroes had exceptionally high pick rates and win rates in the tournament, and while that might not translate directly into pubs, it does mean they’re capable of having a big impact in the right hands. Some of those heroes made waves right out of the gate, while others took a bit of time to work their way into the tournament’s meta.
One even had a huge win rate of 75 percent after 24 games!
