Templar Assassin: Matchmaking Menace After Patch 7.38c

Templar Assassin`s impact on Dota 2 matchmaking has dramatically shifted following the release of the 7.38c update. Within a single day, the hero`s win rate experienced a substantial 8% increase, climbing from 43.88% to 51.90%.

Prior to the 7.38c patch, Templar Assassin held the lowest win rate among all Dota 2 heroes in matchmaking. This update has not only boosted her win rate but also her popularity, which has risen from 2.98% to 4.74%.

Patch 7.38c brought several key changes to Templar Assassin, including a reduced cooldown and increased instances for her Refraction ability. Additionally, a bug related to Meld was fixed, and her level 25 talent received a buff. The update also strengthened Desolator, a frequently chosen item for Templar Assassin builds.

Update 7.38c was released on March 28th, introducing bug fixes and hero balance adjustments to Dota 2.
