Treant Protector, the towering support hero in Dota 2, is making a significant impact in the current meta. With an impressive win rate and a growing presence in professional matches, Treant is becoming a force to be reckoned with.
According to Dota stats site Dotabuff, Treant boasts a remarkable 54.15 percent win rate across all ranks in the past week, making it the second-highest win rate hero overall. In elite matches, Treant has an even more impressive 57 percent win rate, as reported by Dota 2 Pro Tracker.
Treant’s rise to dominance is further highlighted by its popularity in the ongoing BetBoom Dacha event, where it has been banned nine times and picked twice already.
One notable example of Treant’s impact was seen in a match between Gaimin Gladiators and Beastcoast. Support player Melchior “Seleri” Hillenkamp showcased Treant’s power by utilizing the Overgrowth ultimate to turn the tide of team fights and secure victory for his team. Treant’s ultimate ability is one of the few crowd-control spells that still maintains a significant root or stun duration after recent patches.
The favored skill build for Treant Protector involves prioritizing Leech Seed, Nature’s Grasp, and Living Armor. By level six, players unlock the game-changing Overgrowth ability. Maxing Living Armor thereafter provides global healing and armor benefits for allies.
In terms of items, Treant players typically opt for Arcane Boots and Blink Dagger to maximize mobility and set up team fights. Medallion can be upgraded to Solar Crest for additional armor reduction and attack speed increase for allies. Aghanim’s Shard grants invisibility near trees and an extra Root ability. Force Staff, Meteor Hammer, and Aghanim’s Scepter are situational items based on game dynamics.
Patch 7.34b brought a Leech Seed buff for Treant Protector, enhancing its damage and healing potential at all levels. Despite minor tweaks in cooldowns and mana costs in Patch 7.34c, Treant’s rise as a dominant support has not been hindered.
Experience the strength of the new Treant Protector in your next Dota 2 game and witness its impact firsthand.
