Necro, Tiny, Sven, WK win rate since patch in General Discussion

    Day-to-day fluctuation in win-loss rates is normal for all heroes. But it's interesting that heroes that get nerfed always see an increase in the loss rate, while heroes that get buffed always see an increase in the win rate right after a patch.

    Necro's win rate fell from 57% to 56.2% since the patch. That's a huge drop! It's a big deal to such a large drop (almost an entire % point) in 2 days!

    Tiny's win rate went up from 45.3% to 46.6%

    Sven got a big drop too, from 53.7% to 52.6%.

    Check out the sharp jump for WK, from 54.5% to almost 56%!

    Some of these are biased (people pick the heroes more after a buff), but all things constant, it's interesting to see how win-loss rates are affected shortly after a patch.

      Tiny buff was nice but still too small. If they had also made avalanche 90/100/110/120 and 1 more base armor then it'd probably be good.

      Wk didn't really need a buff so anything is good.

        You must remember dota is balanced around the pro scene, and wk wasnt picked at all at this TI. Not to mention Sven is fairing better than his counterpart wk, an aura armour is better in this meta than a lifesteal one.

                so does this mean sven can't 1v5 and rampage in three hits anymore?
                or is he still pretty much as bullshit?

                  "Less than 1 percent is nothing"

                  1% in 2 days is pretty significant. Give it a few weeks I think it'll change more.
