Nature's Prophet: Popular, but struggling
Nature's Prophet is popular with a lot of the TI3 West Qualifier teams, but he's currently struggling in performance. Just three of his games ended with a victory for him, in eight other games his own throne fell first. Suffering even more struggle is Queen of Pain. She was picked three times in total but still has not won a single game. Visage on the other hand, had the lowest winning percentage (25%) compared to heroes picked at least four times.
