Drow has been receiving buffs in the recent patches and was slowly starting to get into the limelight. However, in 7.21d Drow was massively buffed with an increase to her base agility gain from 2.5 to 2.8 coupled with base agility increase by six. She now has more armour, attack speed and other stats which come from a better agility gain. The base agility of drow has increased from 19 back in patch 7.21b to 29 in the current one. The agility dependent hero has seen a massive jump in her win rate and pick rate in the current meta. A squishy hero like Drow is now enjoying 53-55% win rate from higher to average MMR bracket.

#5 Templar Assassin

Templar has been very far from the meta for quite sometime now. In 7.21d, the hero was buffed by increasing her agility gain from 2.8 to 3.2. The Meld ability debuff duration was also increased from 10 to 12. The changes don't look very attractive on paper but the hero has really picked up in her win rate on dotabuff from tiny 43 to 47%. A four percent increase is very significant and shows that TA is pretty much coming back in meta. Especially the players who love and know the hero well. The hero has a BKB piercing stun from Meld which was added to her level 25 talent in patch 7.20 contributing to her late game effectiveness. One more round of buffs and this hero could become overpowered in the right hands.
