KWC 2025 wrapped, but its stats spill secrets—heroes ruling drafts, pros with insane numbers, and hints for the next meta. Let’s dive in.
(1) BP Meta: Heroes That Ruled the Draft
Pick Rate Kings
Yuhuan (44.12% pick rate) didn’t just get picked—she dominated. Her kit—healing, speed buffs, and damage amps—turns teamfights into one - sided slaughters. Imagine your mage hitting 30% harder while the tank shrugs off hits. No wonder pros spammed her.
Fatih (42.16%) wasn’t far behind. His redesigned lifesteal and dash make him a split - push monster. Dive a tower, take a hit, heal up—rinse, repeat. Ao’yin (40.20%) joined too, his lightning dives deleting backlines before enemies blink.
Ban Rate Tyrants
Arli (69.61% ban rate) is the queen of dodging. Her multi - dash, crit - hungry kit means one enemy misstep, and she’ll dance through their team, picking off squishies. Dharma (50.98%) and Luna (50.98%) tied for second—Dharma’s wall - slam combos and Luna’s “infinite moon” ults? Too scary to let loose.
(2) Pro Stats: Secrets Behind the Numbers
AG.Shuai: The KDA King
Boasting an 8.11 KDA and 89.89% team fight presence, AG.Shuai’s a walking paradox—everywhere but never dying. How? He mains heroes like Lan (stealth assassin) and Yuhuan, mixing burst damage with survival. “He times Yuhuan’s heals like a pro, then dives when enemies are low. It’s cheat - level,” a caster joked.
Damage Devils & Tank Titans
KAGE.LanFeng (35.0% damage dealt) shredded foes with marksmen like Jingwei, his rapid - fire shots punching through even the tankiest tanks. Meanwhile, KAGE.Wiraww (35.33% damage taken) played human shield as tanks like Gusion, soaking up combos so his team could counter.
(3) Next Meta: Updates Shaking Up the Game
Leaks hint at a new hero, “Xingyi,” a time - manipulating mage. Her skills let her rewind allies’ cooldowns or slow enemies’ tempo—imagine saving a teammate’s ultimate mid - fight. Early tests suggest she could push Yuhuan out of the meta… or become her perfect partner.
Plus, devs just nerfed Arli’s dash range (down 10%)—a subtle hit, but one that might shake up her ban rate. Will pros still fear her? Only time (and the next tourney) will tell.
From Yuhuan’s healing storms to AG.Shuai’s godlike KDA, KWC 2025 redrew the “meta” map. Whether drafting for ranked or studying pro plays, these heroes and plays are your blueprint to win.
