Based on the data from those games, lets take a shot at analyzing the new meta.
All stats and images taken fromdatDota.
A whole new category was introduced Universal heroes.
Based on the changes, a lot of new heroes were seen at the Berlin Major.
But in the new meta, they are hot commodities!
Also the plethora of neutral creeps around is good for a CM to use Frostbite on and farm.
Additionally, with the new Crimson Guard, he gets even tankier than before.
Another notable addition to the most picked heroes is the Alchemist.
Previously, the first few skill points would get used up in Greevils Greed.
Other notable additions to the most played heroes are Void Spirit, Terrorblade and Skywrath Mage.
A lot of the other heroes were seen quite often in the previous meta as well.
But to be fair, teams havent fully experimented with the new patch yet.
The list is bound to change in the upcoming tournaments.
Thats where the most contested picture sheds some light on the heroes teams do not want to face.
Slark was the most banned hero of the tournament with 100 bans against him.
The table below shows the most contested heroes from the 43 playoff games.
Medusa has a 100% contest rate!
And 38 of those are bans, which shows how much teams did not want to play against her.
In aninterview with GosuGamers,OGs carry Artem “Yuragi” Golubiev said that she has been overbuffed.
44 heroes were picked in 5 games or less at the Berlin Major.
They need a nudge in the right direction.
25.12% games ended before 30 minutes, while 33.15% went over the 40 minute mark.
This meta hasnt been defined as an early or late game meta till now.
Dota 2 patch 7.33 has definitely brought with it some exciting changes.
