A number of Dota 2<\/em> heroes have been dominating in the early stages of the Berlin Major, which kicked off on April 26. It\u2019s the first event after the massive New Frontiers update dropped a week ago. Some have win rates as high as 80 percent with a sample size of 10 matches or more. But while they seem to be thriving in the hands of elite players and teams in the tournament so far, the same cannot be said for their performances in pubs.<\/p>
There\u2019s a huge discrepancy between win rates, whether it\u2019s because regular Dota <\/em>players aren\u2019t playing them right, or they don\u2019t work well in a less coordinated team.<\/p>
Another possibility is that, since players are trying to figure out what works in the New Frontiers meta<\/a>, they\u2019re picking these heroes after seeing them in the Berlin Major, but don\u2019t really know what they\u2019re doing. It could come down to a lot of things. <\/p>
But whatever the reason may be, there are 10 Dota <\/em>heroes with win rate discrepancies that stand out the most\u2014some of which are even as large as 30 percent, according to public match stats from Liquipedia<\/a> and Dota<\/em>Buff<\/a>.<\/p>
