Patch 7.29 statistics

This week, patch 7.30 was released in the Dota 2 client. Teams are already busy mastering new heroes setups and testing interesting combinations. So, we can sum up the results of the outgoing patch.

Patch 7.29 overall stats

The previous patch 7.29 was released on April 10, 2021, and was active for 130 days. During this time, teams played 2,971 official matches on the professional scene. The average duration per map was 36:15 min, and the Radiant and Dire sides had almost equal odds of winning: 49.98% vs. 50.02%, respectively.

Top 5 most popular carry heroes

• Luna – 524 matches, WR – 49.05%.
• Medusa – 466 matches, WR – 55.58%.
• Terrorblade – 461 matches, WR – 52.93%.
• Wraith King – 409 games, WR – 48.90%.
• Faceless Void – 400 games, WR – 53.50%.

Surprisingly, comparing the data from patches 7.29 and 7.28 shows only one match in the top 5 most popular carry heroes – Wraith King. But he had a much higher win rate in patch 7.28, at 53.58%.

Top 5 most popular midlaners

• Puck – 963 matches, WR – 49.53%.
• Lina – 601 matches, WR – 48.25%.
• Leshrac – 517 matches, WR – 48.55%.
• Templar Assassin – 495 matches, WR – 58.59%.
• Ember Spirit – 466 matches, WR – 52.79%.

Puck took first place with a huge margin. Puck also took first place in the previous patch, and patch 7.29 brought no nerfs to his efficiency. But the strongest midlaner is Templar Assassin. Her 58.59% win rate speaks for itself.

Top 5 most popular offlaners

• Mars – 946 matches, WR – 47.25%.
• Tiny – 618 matches, WR – 52.43%.
• Timbersaw – 592 matches, WR – 50.51%.
• Centaur Warrunner – 577 matches, WR – 52.34%.
• Axe – 513 matches, WR – 47.56%.

Choosing the top 5 most popular offlaners was the hardest part. Nyx Assassins and Dragon Knight claimed to be here, but both heroes were used more often in other game positions.

Another interesting representative here is Tiny. Many people have already forgotten about his existence. He was actively used right after the release of patch 7.29, especially in the regional leagues. But over time, the hero gradually disappeared.

Top 5 most popular supports

• Lion – 1154 matches, WR – 47.57%.
• Grimstroke – 775 matches, WR – 46.71%.
• Nyx Assassin – 728 matches, WR – 54.81%.
• Snapfire – 691 matches, WR – 50.51%.
• Abaddon – 671 matches, WR – 49.03%.

The only patch 7.29 support hero with more than 1,000 official matches is Lion. In comparison with his popularity in patch 7.28, he was chosen twice as often. Nyx Assassin became the most effective support. His win rate is almost 55%.

The most unpopular heroes in patch 7.29

• Meepo – 12 matches.
• Silencer – 13 matches.
• Sniper – 17 matches.
• Tinker – 17 matches.
• Clinkz – 17 matches.

As we already know, patch 7.30 affects each of these characters. In the near future, teams will take a closer look at the new patch, and maybe these heroes will find their place in the new meta.
