A little bit late, but still here: montly stats for FaceIT Pro League matches.

This data is based on FPL stats report for February 2018. It includes every match that was played in FaceIT Pro League (excluding those that couldn’t been found).

Positions data may be inaccurate in some way (mostly so that very bad core games are counted as support while supports who had high stats and didn’t spent much on support items may be considered core), but it’s most likely to be insignificant.

Thanks to FaceIT guys, it’s now possible to fetch match IDs from Dota 2 API, so I didn’t need to manually find every single match like I did before. Altho, matches from the first two weeks didn’t have the right league ID and some matches (around 10-15) weren’t available in FaceIT web interface, so I couldn’t find them.

Edit: Holy shtuff, front page and 90 upvotes in less than two hours! Thank you guys!

Full report

Heroes Meta Graph picture and Interactive Meta Graph. Interactive one is better if you can open it, since you can move things around and there’s a description for those, who just saw it for the first time.

There’s also kind of pairs graph, but it doesn’t work properly and is going to be reworked anyway (it’s not supposed to be available, whoops).

Most Contested Heroes

There are also first stages of picks/bans and most picked/banned heroes in overview tab of report, but they are pretty much the same as most contested.

Favorite Pairs

Edit: I accidentally pasted here pairs from 7.09 thread, didn’t notice that at first. Sorry.

Just want to point that out: in 7.09 meta trends thread /u/BirdieNZ suggested improvements to hero pairs formula, but I didn’t change it yet.
