DOTA 2: Top Ten Winners of Patch 7.21

#3 IO

IO

IO probably got the highest increase in the win rate as win rate increased over 7% pushing him up to almost 47% win rate. Now keep one thing in mind, IO is very hard to play hero and there are games where people randoming IO or throwing a game. So for heroes like IO, Meepo having a nearly 49% win rate is a huge deal. well, it was. After the reworks IO now even seeing increased win rate in the lower brackets which explains the whooping 7% boost, so yes IO now is fairly easier to play.

Io is removed from captains mode and they only remove heroes when they go for a massive change, the hero is not restored in the game until they think it's not broken anymore. Tether now transfers Health and Mana even when IO is at max HP. Overcharge now was 18-sec cooldown and 8-sec duration, No longer has a 2-second toggle. Overcharge now has a mana cost and doesn't take 6% HP or mana per second. Overcharge attack speed bonus has been increased, overcharge damage reduction is increased. Relocate delay is probably the only nerf but relocate cooldown is now reduced by 30 seconds at the maximum level.

#2 Lone Druid

Lone Druid

Lone Druid has a very increased win rate, 7.45% boost in the recent days. Again he did not see a lot of changes but he saw slight improvements and tweaks and almost no nerf which making him slightly meta viable and it's working as you can see the increased win rate.

Spirit bear movement speed was increased. Spirit bear attack damage was increased. Level 20 talent changed and now grants you 0 entangle cooldown and the level 25 talent grants you 0.5s spirit bear attack time.

#1 Life Stealer

Life Stealer

I'm sure you didn't expect this. Well, Life stealer is actually seeing a very fast increasing win rate and going to back the meta from not being good in the meta. Life Stealer saw a 7.81% increased win rate which now pushing him up to almost 56% win rate.

Base movement speed has been increased by 15. This is a very small but great change, heroes like life stealer, Ursa can really profit from the increased base movement speed. His base armour is now increased by 2, makes him a little tankier earlier in the game. It is now easier for him to trade hits and actually makes the laning phase way easier for him. The level 15 talent however saw -5 movement speed reduction but it doesn't really matter because of the first two buffs being so heavy.
