She hasnt been a meta pick for a while now.

It will be interesting to see how teams perceive this hero going ahead.

A hero that sticks out is Storm Spirit, who had a 100% win rate in 6 games!

It isnt a huge sample size, but it is something to make a note of.

Witch Blade itself received a buff with additional attack speed and mana regeneration.

Majority of Storm Spirits damage is magical.

The item buffs in general seem to benefit intelligence carries, and Storm possibly tops the list.

Chen had a 100% contest rate, with just one pick in the lower bracket final.

This isnt a surprise, as Chen received sizable buffs in Dota 2 patch 7.35.

OnceTeam Spiritgets back from vacation, Magomed Collapse Khalilov is going to have some fun with the hero!

Another hero who was banned out a lot, and who might be a sleeping giant, is Leshrac.

The changes to Bloodstone and Shivas Guard possibly benefit the Disco Pony the best.

Increased spell AoE from Bloodstone and magic damage amplification from Shivas Guard is an absolute dream for the hero.

This is all very early in the patch, so nothing is carved in stone.

It is time for a new dawn!
