Summing up the 7.27 patch results. The lead heroes of the patch

Already today, Valve should release the long-awaited new patch that will change the established meta of the professional Dota 2 scene. Also, in the update, we should see a new hero and, possibly, an updated map. Therefore, today we will try to summarize the results of the 7.27 patch on the professional Dota 2 scene and look at the list of heroes with the highest performance in various categories.

If you haven't seen it, our website has a "Meta" tab. It contains full statistics of the professional Dota 2 scene for the current patch. We take into account matches from all professional leagues and tournaments. By the way, exactly in that tab, you will be able to check statistics of the new 7.28 patch when it'll be released. Now let's look at the outgoing patch.

Tiny is the most played hero in the 7.27 patch

At the time of the 7.27 patch release, no one could have imagined that Tiny would become such a popular hero. He was chosen on 1993 maps, which is almost 150 maps more than the second place in this category. It is surprising for another reason: in patch 7.27, the hero didn't receive a serious buff, and on the contrary, some of his abilities were greatly reduced.

Why exactly Tiny? It is a simple hero to perform and, at the same time, effective. Teams use it both as on a carry and support positions.

Spectre is the hero with the highest KDA

Unlike the previous hero, Spectre really had every chance to take the first line between heroes capable of having the highest KDA. Despite the slight weakening of the hero with the 7.27 patch release, he remained the most favorite carry of the professional teams throughout the patch. In total, the hero was chosen on 1270 maps.

Why Spectre has the highest KDA? It is one of the few heroes whose ultimate allows you to take part in almost all fights on the map and damage all characters from the enemy team.

Chen is the hero with the highest WR

After the 7.27 patch release, the hero wasn't changed at all. At the time of the publishing, the hero's Win Rate has reached an incredible 60.00%, with 360 played maps.

How can you explain such a high Win Rate? Pretty simple. Chen is a situational hero who is only used by a very few Esportsmen. This hero is especially loved by Puppey from Team Secret and fng from Alliance. In most cases, if an Esportsman chooses this hero, he probably knows what is required of him in any situation.

Arc Warden is the hero with the highest map duration

The 7.27 patch saw a reduction in the average duration of maps and stopped at 34 minutes and 47 seconds. But there are a few heroes whose average map duration is noticeably higher, and their leader is Arc Warden. When teams use this hero, the map lasts an average of 38:15.

Why this particular hero took the first position is pretty easy to understand. The initial stage of Arc Warden is extremely weak. Its potential begins to reveal only in the middle stage of the game and reaches its maximum value in the late game. Teams just have to wait until that moment arrives.

This top includes only the heroes with the highest performance in the four given criteria. If you want more information on the 7.27 patch, you can find it in the Meta tab.
