A month ago, Dota 2 patch 7.31d was released after the end of the ESL One Stockholm Major.
The heroes have been picked as the best performing ones from the Divine and Immortal brackets.
The choice of heroes has been made from a combination of high pick rate and high win rate heroes.
The hero has the highest win rate in top tier pubs, but the tricky part is playing Visage.
There are two possible reasons for this.
The first one is that throughout the ages, Juggernaut has been a reliable carry pick.
There is no out and out counter to the hero that can render him useless.
But the big reason is that Healing Salve got nerfed.
Healing supports, and in this rate case, a position 1 hero with an AoE heal!
Popular Dota 2 streamer Janne Gorgc Stefanovski thinksJuggernaut is the best carry in the current meta.
But like Juggernaut, it is an item that has saved Tiny from being banished to the nether realms.
The item in question in the Stone Giants case is Aghanims Shard.
When it was first released in Dota 2 patch 7.28, Aghanims Shard wasnt purchasable till the 20th minute.
Having that power spike 5 minutes earlier in the game has made an enormous difference for carry Tiny.
Not only can he control the new creeps, he can also buff them with Inner Beast.
The horde of Skeleton Warriors by themselves are a scary prospect while taking down tier 1 towers.
Imagine them with bonus attack speed from Beastmasters aura!
But like Juggernaut, Beastmaster tends to benefit from the reduction in Healing Salve healing on allies as well.
Unless the enemy lane has an inbuilt heal, they end up spending a lot on consumables.
