So barring a few initial games, the majority of the season was played on patch 7.31d.
The data has been taken fromdatDota.
The versatility not just in roles has kept the Stone Giant on top for a while now.
While 7.31d was mostly about balance changes, a few heroes were significantly boosted by minor changes.
One of those is Clockwerk.
Puck has an insane contest rate of 87.38%, considering this is across 824 games.
Tiny and Marci arent too behind with contest rates of 75% and 74.39% respectively.
No one wants that kind of toxicity in their games.
These heroes are suited to very specific situations, and have a high rate of success in those situations.
Meepo was the only hero that had 0 picks to his name.
All the others were picked at least once.
The meta isnt an extremely quick meta, but it doesnt necessarily favor very long games either.
The current meta based on patch 7.31d isnt very dissimilar to what weve been seeing for the past year.
It is a very balanced and diverse meta, which is what the analysis here shows as well.
Lot of heroes and strats are viable.
