The three worst heroes of patch 7.40 that are better not to pick in Dota 2 matchmaking

Pangolier, Lone Druid and Monkey King became the worst heroes after the release of patch 7.40 — their win rate dropped to a critical level, losing 6 matches out of 10.

This is indicated by statistics from the DotaBuff portal.

The hardest hit was Pangolier who already could not boast a good win rate and has now fallen to 36.05%, because of this his pick rate also started to drop. Now the hero appears in approximately 1% of Dota 2 matches.

Lone Druid performance also dropped critically — he lost 9.19% win rate and now wins only 41.29%. The reason is that the hero received a major rework and lost facets, which directly affected his power.

Monkey King closes the bottom three: although his win rate is slowly starting to rise he still wins only 43.11%. However, unlike the previous two heroes, this character appears in matches much more often and his current pick rate is almost 6%.

It is worth recalling that earlier Valve removed facets from 9 Dota 2 heroes at once in patch 7.40.
