A new meta has formed in Dota 2 after Riyadh Masters 2025

After the end of one of the biggest tournaments of the year — Riyadh Masters 2025 — the meta in Dota 2 began to change rapidly. With the release of patch 7.39c, players began to actively rethink their picks, and favorites with the highest win rate are already noticeable at each position.

Carry

Ursa dominates the first position with a win rate of 53.5%. Juggernaut (52.4%) and Shadow Fiend (52.1%) also remain high.

Midlaner

The main hero of the meta is Leshrac with an impressive 55% of wins. The top three also included Queen of Pain (51.6%) and Necrophos (50.7%).

Offlaner

Vengeful Spirit (53.8%) confidently feels in third place, followed by Dawnbreaker (52.9%) and Beastmaster (52.7%).

Fourth position

The fourth position is dominated by Shadow Shaman (52.8%), Silencer (52.6%) and Nature's Prophet (51.6%). Support with a focus on control and pushing is back in fashion.

Full support

Silencer (52.5%) and Undying (52.1%) are confidently holding their own in the fifth position. But Disruptor, despite 51.7%, is still one of the most stable heroes in difficult games.

The new meta is increasingly focused on tempo and versatile heroes with the ability to initiate and win fights already in the midgame. After Riyadh Masters 2025, players began to experiment more boldly with non-standard picks, and this is already yielding results.

It is expected that by the release of the Compendium 2025, the meta may shift again, especially if Valve decides to release a letter patch for Dota 2 with it.
