Computed from the official drafts of all 148 recorded games (via the OpenDota API). Contest rate = (picks + bans) / games. Win rate is the hero's record when picked, not a model output. Click a hero row (chevron) for its per-team pick and ban-faced splits.

Most respected heroes — repeat bans against one team

How often opponents banned a hero specifically in games against one team. Whether a ban is targeted or just a meta ban is for you to judge — these are the raw repeat cases.

Below is Batru's pre-event projection, published before the group stage and kept unchanged. Verdict, with the event over: only 2 of our top-10 predicted most-contested heroes (Treant Protector, Shadow Fiend) finished in the actual top-10 — the 7.41e main-event meta broke sharply from the qualifier patches it was projected from. The projection stays up as published; that's the point of receipts. How it's computed: we aggregate every professional draft from the 187 TI 2026 regional qualifier games (June 15–28, 2026, the same 16-team cycle) and all 144 games of the TI 2025 main event, then score each hero's predicted contest rate as 70% qualifier signal + 30% TI 2025 signal. Qualifiers dominate because they were played by this year's teams on the current patch family; TI itself is played on patch 7.41e (shipped July 30) — judge the drift for yourself against the actual numbers above.

"Contest rate" = share of games where the hero was picked or banned. A hero at 80%+ is a first-phase auto-respect pick — teams must ban it, pick it, or plan against it every draft.

The meta has moved hard since Hamburg: Treant Protector, Drow Ranger, Kez, Largo and Viper were not picked or banned once at TI 2025, yet now project top-25 contested. Want to test a draft against these heroes yourself? Run it through the Captains Mode BP simulator or the live draft predictor — both are backed by Batru's calibrated win-rate model.

TI 2025 full pick & ban stats (144 games)

Every hero that appeared in a TI 2025 draft (main event, Hamburg, September 2025 — won by Team Falcons over Xtreme Gaming 3–2), ranked by contest rate. 107 of 127 heroes were picked or banned at least once.
