Patch 7.30 statistics

This week, Valve announced the release date of the new patch 7.31. It will appear in the Dota 2 client on February 23 and update the established meta. On this occasion, let's tell you what the pro scene meta looked like in patch 7.30.

General statistics of patch 7.30

Patch 7.30 was released on August 18, 2021. It will last for 189 days at the time of the next patch. Now, the patch counts 3,473 maps played on the pro scene, and the Radiant side wins 51.71% of the time. The average duration per map is 36:29 minutes.

Top-5 most popular carry-heroes

• Luna – 491 matches, WR – 48.88%.
• Medusa – 429 matches, WR – 52.21%.
• Wraith King – 426 matches, WR – 48.90%.
• Gyrocopter – 406 matches, WR – 47.04%.
• Razor – 405 matches, WR – 52.84%.

If we compare the main carry heroes of patches 7.30 and 7.29, we'll see 3 similarities — Luna, Medusa, and Wraith King. All of them were extremely popular before. Gyrocopter and Razor showed themselves in patch 7.30.

Top-5 most popular midlaners

• Queen of Pain – 787 matches, WR – 51.33%.
• Void Spirit – 641 matches, WR – 46.02%.
• Lina – 613 matches, WR – 49.43%.
• Kunkka – 609 matches, WR – 53.37%.
• Ember Spirit – 594 matches, WR – 53.37%.

Queen of Pain takes first place by a huge margin. In the previous patch, this heroine wasn't even in the Top-5, which means she only reached her potential with the patch 7.30 buffs.

Top-5 most popular offlaners

• Mars – 1,131 matches, WR – 47.75%.
• Tidehunter – 806 matches, WR – 48.64%.
• Pangolier – 701 matches, WR – 50.07%.
• Beastmaster – 435 matches, WR – 59.31%.
• Night Stalker – 403 matches, WR – 47.39%.

Mars has been the undisputed leader among offlaners for several patches in a row, and he was picked over 1,000 times this time. The most effective offlane hero is Beastmaster, whose win rate is close to 60%.

Top-5 most popular supports

• Bane – 1,066 matches, WR – 56.38%.
• Snapfire – 793 matches, WR – 45.27%.
• Weaver – 777 matches, WR – 53.67%.
• Lion – 728 matches, WR – 49.45%.
• Monkey King – 699 matches, WR – 53.36%.

The most difficult choice for our team was to add Monkey King to the section with supports. But after a thorough check, it turned out that teams most often used the hero as a support, not as a carry or an offlaner.

Most unpopular heroes in patch 7.30

• Meepo – 2 matches.
• Lone Druid – 2 matches.
• Arc Warden – 17 matches.
• Warlock – 11 matches.
• Techies – 16 matches.

All of these heroes, except for Warlock, were also not popular in patch 7.29. Certainly, each of them requires huge changes to return to the meta in the future.
