Dota 2 Competitive Hero Tier List August 2024: most picked and banned heroes
The Dota 2 Competitive Hero Tier List for August 2024 contains data from patch 7.36c. The heroes are split in five tiers based on pick and ban rate.
All the heroes are arranged in five tiers based on their draft rate in competitive games. The tiers are viewed as clusters of data, and each hero is placed in the one they are closer the most.
The requisites for each tier never change. The goal is offering a neutral comparison that shows how the meta evolves over time.
The win rate has no effect on the tiers, but is included for further info. The tiers depend only on drafts (picks + bans), and aren’t affected either by the win rate of a hero, or by their performance in pub matches.
The list is not biased with personal opinions. I hope that my statistical-based approach is a good attempt to provide a reliable list for all the ranked players.

In tier 4 and 5 we find all the situational heroes. They are strong when paired with others, or against specific lineups. These heroes aren't bad, they just don't work in every game, so the pick and ban rates aren't outstanding.
