PGL Wallachia Season 4 has wrapped after a week of intense Dota 2 action. Featuring top-tier teams and the impact of patch 7.38c, it was one of the month’s most anticipated events.
Now, let’s break down the meta: which heroes dominated, which flopped, and what trends to watch as we head into the next major tournament.
It is worth knowing that some stats (such as those for the win rates) only include heroes who appeared in more than 10 matches. This article was original written during following the group stage and before the playoffs.

At the time of writing, Ringmaster is in a league of his own in terms of popularity. The position 5 support appeared in 50 games so far and has a jaw-dropping 97.40% pick or ban ratio. It’s safe to say that every professional Dota 2 team is using him right now.
Number 2 on the list is for Jakiro, a support that has proven himself in the 7.38c Dota 2 meta. Jakiro appeared in 36 matches and has an 81.82% pick or ban ratio. He also has a crucial role for all top-tier Dota 2 teams.
The third-most popular hero at the PGL Wallachia Season 4 (as of now) is Bristleback. The core appeared in 31 matches, and what’s also interesting is that it has more than a 67% win rate. As for his pick and ban rate, the stats show that Bristleback sits at 79.22%.
When it comes to the number of bans, Ancient Apparition is in the lead with 65 bans. It is not common to find a position 5 hero among the list of top bans, but he is just incredibly strong in the current meta. AA can work in most setups, and he is exceptionally good against STR heroes.
The second place goes to the current patch’s top mid-laner – Templar Assassin. So far, TA has received 64 bans, but this number will certainly increase once the matches from the Playoffs arrive.
The third name on the list is also a mid-laner, but it’s not the one you probably think. Most people would expect to see OD here, but Tinker has 53 bans and takes number 3. Like TA, he is also powerful in the current meta and can be an absolute nightmare to play against.
Moving on to the list of the most successful PGL Wallachia Season 4 heroes, the first place goes to Pangolier. We have only had the chance to see him in 10 games so far, but he has won 8 of them. So, don’t be surprised if you start seeing more of him in your pub games.
The second spot for the most successful hero at PGL Wallachia Season 4 is for Bristleback. Besides being one of the most popular options, he is among the best because the stats reveal he has a 67.74% win rate.
Finally, we have number 3 on our list – Monkey King. The annoying hero appeared in 15 matches and has 10 victories so far, resulting in a 66.67% win rate.

A quick look at the least successful Dota 2 heroes so far shows that Slardar takes the last spot. We have seen him in 12 games, and he has only 2 victories. It will be interesting to see if the remaining 8 teams will give him more chances, but it seems like he is not the ideal pick in the current meta.
Surprisingly, Nature’s Prophet is the next name on the list. He only has 3 victories after 14 games, which makes him the second-worst option right now. Many of you may be shocked by these results because he is also among the most banned heroes. Moreover, he was the most popular hero at ESL One Raleigh 2025.
The last name on the list of the least successful heroes is for Brewmaster. We saw him in 13 matches so far, and he only has 3 victories.
The PGL Wallachia Season 4 Playoffs will begin soon, which means that there are many more Dota 2 betting opportunities. All of the big favorites survived the Group Stage, so we expect to see many epic games. Team Spirit and PARIVISION are the favorites, but only time will tell if they will succeed.
