{warning} We DO NOT consider The Heroes Profile Drafter to be a perfect predicter of draft. It was built to investigate and gauge compositions. Please use the data to help supplement your draft knowledge.

Heroes Profile Drafter Usage


Step 1

Navigate to The Heroes Profile Drafter and choose your filter options. Currently only data for patches 2.52 and greater are available for use due to data caching. Be aware that some filter options may reduce the overall fidelity of the data used as there may be a small amount of games played with those filter options. Please be cognizant of information such as Total Games Banned, Games Played, and Win Rate Confidence in the pop-ups.

Step 2

Make sure to select which team has first pick. Team 1 is the team on the left, and Team 2 is the team on the right. You are trying to match the tools draft UI up with in-game draft. This is only important for visualization. Then hit start draft.

Step 3

Immediately after hitting "start draft" the tool will go out and fetch the best ban options given the Filters you chose. Once it has calculated the best bans, it will order them from best to worse by left-to-right, and top-to-bottom. Furthermore, Heroes the drafter considers to be more popular/strong at that position will have a star next to their hero image. Highlighting hero images will give you more information about the hero. You can see an explanation of what those values mean at Terms.

Step 4

The Heroes Profile Drafter will automatically switch between Team 1 and Team 2 Bans/Picks throughout the draft. All the user has to do is make their picks.

In Draft Filters

The filters chosen to setup your draft can be changed at any time during the draft by toggling the "Show Filters" button. If you change any options, the data for your current pick will NOT change for that filter change, but the data for your next pick WILL be based off that change.

To hide the filters, simply hit the "Hide Filters" button.
