Dota 2 Tier List 7.41f: Best Heroes by Win Rate and Bracket

The best Dota 2 heroes on patch 7.41f, ranked by public win rate across all brackets and in the Divine bracket, are Wraith King, Outworld Devourer, Juggernaut, Dragon Knight, Spectre, Phantom Lancer, Riki and Nyx Assassin, with Visage, Meepo, Enigma and Bounty Hunter joining them in S tier on the strength of high-MMR results. Patch 7.41f, released September 15, 2026, is the latest on Valve's official patch list. This guide gives the full S to D tier list, explains exactly how it was built, separates high-MMR and pro trends, and summarizes the 7.41 and 7.41f changes behind the numbers.

Checked against Valve's Dota 2 patch feed (7.41f) and OpenDota hero statistics on November 12, 2026.

This tier list is data-driven, not editorial opinion. It uses OpenDota's hero statistics pulled on November 12, 2026, which cover a rolling sample of recent public matches: about 3.4 million games from Herald to Divine and about 373,000 in the Divine bracket alone. Each hero's score is the average of its all-bracket win rate and its Divine win rate. Heroes picked in fewer than 1.5% of matches are left out because their samples swing too much.

What is the best Dota 2 tier list for patch 7.41f?

Twelve heroes reach S tier with a combined score of 52.5% or higher. The table lists them with both win rates and how often they appear.

Hero	All brackets win rate	Divine win rate	Pick rate
Visage	53.1%	56.2%	1.6%
Meepo	53.1%	55.0%	2.1%
Wraith King	55.1%	52.7%	14.0%
Enigma	51.2%	56.0%	4.6%
Bounty Hunter	52.1%	55.1%	6.5%
Outworld Devourer	53.1%	53.6%	12.8%
Nyx Assassin	52.7%	53.4%	10.1%
Riki	53.0%	52.7%	6.5%
Spectre	53.0%	52.5%	9.4%
Juggernaut	52.6%	52.8%	19.2%
Dragon Knight	52.9%	52.4%	14.2%
Phantom Lancer	52.8%	52.5%	11.8%

A tier (51.5% to 52.5%) holds Night Stalker, Omniknight, Arc Warden, Spirit Breaker, Legion Commander, Dawnbreaker, Grimstroke, Lich, Sven, Bloodseeker and Witch Doctor.

Which heroes are in B, C and D tier?

B tier sits between 50% and 51.5%, C tier between 48% and 50%, and D tier below 48%. Pick rates matter here: a popular hero in C tier can still be fine in your hands, but the average player is losing more than winning with it.

Tier	Heroes
B	Invoker, Vengeful Spirit, Brewmaster, Shadow Shaman, Phoenix, Mirana, Troll Warlord, Oracle, Leshrac, Lifestealer, Chaos Knight, Dazzle, Pugna, Anti-Mage, Pudge, Crystal Maiden, Disruptor, Techies, Primal Beast, Keeper of the Light, Abaddon, Winter Wyvern, Earthshaker, Io, Dark Seer, Earth Spirit, Luna, Clinkz, Ancient Apparition, Slark, Broodmother, Necrophos, Phantom Assassin
C	Silencer, Dark Willow, Razor, Ursa, Rubick, Zeus, Skywrath Mage, Marci, Bane, Undying, Ogre Magi, Lone Druid, Axe, Ember Spirit, Void Spirit, Magnus, Snapfire, Doom, Kunkka, Viper, Tusk, Ring Master, Death Prophet, Largo, Windranger, Sand King, Lion, Faceless Void, Centaur Warrunner, Warlock, Puck, Venomancer, Slardar, Morphling, Clockwerk, Tinker, Tidehunter, Sniper, Beastmaster
D	Medusa, Jakiro, Hoodwink, Enchantress, Muerta, Underlord, Weaver, Mars, Gyrocopter, Storm Spirit, Queen of Pain, Lina, Pangolier, Alchemist, Monkey King, Treant Protector, Bristleback, Huskar, Templar Assassin, Timbersaw, Terrorblade, Kez, Drow Ranger, Tiny, Shadow Demon, Nature's Prophet, Shadow Fiend

Five heroes were left out for low pick rates: Elder Titan, Lycan, Naga Siren, Chen and Batrider. Lycan and Elder Titan both post Divine win rates above 52%, but on small samples.

Which heroes are strongest at high MMR?

In the Divine bracket, the top win rates belong to Visage (56.2%), Enigma (56.0%), Bounty Hunter (55.1%) and Meepo (55.0%). Outworld Devourer (53.6%), Omniknight (53.5%), Nyx Assassin (53.4%) and Night Stalker (53.2%) follow.

The gap between brackets tells you which heroes reward coordination and game knowledge. Enigma wins 51.2% overall but 56.0% in Divine, and Bounty Hunter climbs from 52.1% to 55.1%. Both heroes lean on well-timed initiation, which likely pays off more when teammates follow up reliably. Visage and Meepo are rated complexity 3 by Valve, the highest rating, which helps explain their low pick rates and strong specialist results. Wraith King goes the other way, from about 56% in Herald to Crusader games down to 52.7% in Divine, a common pattern for simple heroes.

Complexity itself follows the same trend. Valve's 55 complexity 1 heroes win 50.7% of Herald to Crusader games but 50.0% in Divine, while the 13 complexity 3 heroes go from 49.3% at low ranks to 50.9% in Divine. Hard heroes pay off once players have the hours to learn them.

Which attributes and roles are winning in 7.41f?

Strength heroes are the strongest attribute group in public games, at 50.5% across all brackets, against 50.1% for Intelligence, 49.7% for Agility and 49.3% for Universal heroes. In Divine, the gap narrows: Strength sits at 50.2% and Universal rises to 50.0%.

By OpenDota's role tags, Durable heroes lead at 50.4% overall, followed by Initiators at 50.2%, while heroes tagged Carry average 49.9%. In Divine, heroes tagged Pusher post the best role average at 50.4%. Role tags overlap, since most heroes carry several, so read these as broad trends: tanky frontliners and initiators are slightly favored on this patch, which matches S-tier entries like Wraith King, Dragon Knight and Nyx Assassin.

Which heroes dominate pro games right now?

Pro priorities differ sharply from public games. In OpenDota's recent professional sample of roughly 200 matches, the most contested heroes are the ones that are banned, not picked.

Hero	Picks	Bans	Wins
Techies	64	125	33
Enigma	29	151	19
Lone Druid	23	153	10
Bounty Hunter	24	149	11
Brewmaster	33	137	16
Dragon Knight	81	72	44
Witch Doctor	97	43	51
Hoodwink	100	33	55

Hoodwink is the most picked pro hero in the sample and wins 55 of 100 games, yet sits in D tier in public matches. Lone Druid is banned constantly by pros but sits in C tier in public games. Use the pro table to understand drafts in tournaments, not to choose heroes for your own pub games.

Which heroes are the weakest in 7.41f?

Shadow Fiend is the weakest popular hero, at about 43.1% across all brackets and 40.2% in Divine while appearing in nearly 9% of matches. Nature's Prophet (43.1% and 45.1%), Shadow Demon, Tiny and Drow Ranger complete the bottom five.

Part of Shadow Fiend's slide comes from 7.41f, which changed his soul damage from 1.35 plus 0.15 per level to 1 plus 0.8 per 6 levels and cut the bonus damage per soul from 3 to 2. Lina, another popular D-tier pick at about 47%, lost base Intelligence, attack speed and duration on one of her abilities in the same patch.

What changed in Dota 2 patch 7.41 and 7.41f?

Patch 7.41 on March 24, 2026 made the biggest system changes of the year; 7.41f on September 15 was a balance pass.

• 7.41, Facets removed: Facets were taken out of the game entirely.
• 7.41, innate abilities: innates no longer scale with other abilities' levels; they now give fixed bonuses or improve per hero level, with a new UI icon showing what scales.
• 7.41, siege creeps: the first extra siege creep now arrives at 30:00 instead of 35:00, and a second one at 60:00.
• 7.41, Tormentor: now begins in the bottom chasm, with a stronger shield and lower damage reflection (50% to 30%).
• 7.41f, Bounty Hunter: Track's self bonus gold fell from 130/225/320 to 80/160/240.
• 7.41f, Enigma: Eidolon attack range reduced at early levels and a talent cut.
• 7.41f, Keeper of the Light, Treant Protector, Necrophos, Winter Wyvern: nerfs to key abilities.
• 7.41f, buffs: Anti-Mage's Mana Burn as damage rose from 60% to 65%, Ursa's health-as-damage from 1.25% to 1.75%, and Disruptor and Batrider gained stats.

Because the OpenDota sample was pulled nearly two months after 7.41f, these changes are already reflected in the win rates above. Bounty Hunter and Enigma stayed in S tier despite their nerfs.

How should you use this tier list?

Use it to pick heroes that are slightly favored, not to abandon heroes you play well. A 2% win-rate edge is small next to the gap between a hero you have played 200 times and one you have played twice.

New players should combine this list with Valve's complexity ratings and start with simple, high-win-rate heroes such as Wraith King, Juggernaut and Dragon Knight. The best Dota 2 heroes for beginners guide lists the easiest options by role.
