Only 12 Dota 2 heroes weren’t picked at Riyadh Masters, including 3 that crush in pubs

Of all the 124 heroes on the Dota 2 roster, 12 weren’t picked at the Riyadh Masters last month, including three that came as a surprise considering they’ve been faring well in public matches. Those heroes were Wraith King, Omniknight, and Sniper—all of which have win rates above 50 percent in all ranks across the board.

Wraith King was perhaps the most shocking omission. The imposing carry hero whose ultimate grants him a second life has the highest win rate of them all at 52.46 percent, according to DotaBuff. He only made a single appearance at the Bali Major too, so it seems like the pros don’t rate him too highly at the moment despite his ability to push, initiate, and carry. It’s most likely because Reincarnation’s maxed-out cooldown was increased by 40 seconds, which makes him less viable in the late game.
