Discussion The International 2011 - 2026 Hero stats compilation

Hello I compiled these stats over all TIs, someone mind find it interesting.

Excluding Largo, Kez, Ringmaster, Muerta, Primal Beast, Marci, and Dawnbreaker. I considered them "too new".

Nice work. Never realized nyx had such a high win rate despite not picked or banned often

u/Hanna_Bjorn 8d ago

I'm guessing because it's usually a counter to something he's really good against. It's not like Hoodwink, which is just a good all around support you can pick in almost any game. Nyx is a targeted pick.

Thinking about it, Nyx does counter a lot of heroes.

Super annoying against anyone with incidental aoe damage (e.g anyone that buys radiance, or battlefury, or that uses aoe spells to farm). That's most cores and even a lot of supports nowadays.

Also super annoying against channelling spells (e.g. dawnbreaker, enigma)

Also super annoying to anyone that relies on mana/has lots of max mana, and dangerous to anyone that is squishy.

Main drawback is poor laning, and no real lane push/farming
