Nature's Prophet is picked in 8.7% of Very High matches, 8.9% of High and 9.8% of Normal, and is the second-weakest hero of the patch: 44.4% / 42.5% / 42.8%. Sprout traps a unit in a ring of trees, Teleportation takes him anywhere on the map, Nature's Call turns trees into Treants, Curse of the Oldgrowth slows and damages enemies near trees, and Wrath of Nature bounces damage across the map. His team gains more XP in fewer than half the games at every stage (43.1–45.7%), and he wins 55.2% of games under 25 minutes but only 42.1% at 25–50 and 45.5% past 50.
Countered by TerrorbladeNature's Prophet starts slightly ahead: Terrorblade's team gains more XP in 47.4% of games before minute 15.
Nature's Prophet wins by being everywhere with Teleportation and Treants, and Terrorblade answers with numbers of his own. Conjure Image illusions push and fight beside him, and Metamorphosis gives Terrorblade and every nearby illusion a ranged attack. Reflection slows Nature's Prophet and sends an invulnerable copy of him to attack him, and Sunder swaps health with him in a fight. Terrorblade's team gains more XP in 52% of games between minutes 15 and 35.
Terrorblade's team gains more XP in 53.4% of games after minute 35. He wins 56.4% of 25–50 minute games (4,384 games) and 49% past 50 (845 games). Both heroes are weak in this patch: Terrorblade usually wins only 46% / 44.7% / 44.7%, but against Nature's Prophet he wins 56.2% / 57.5% / 52.9% (Very High / High / Normal). The edge is +8.98 in Very High and +10.43 in High, but only +2.15 in Normal.
Best teammate: PuckThe pair loses the lane: their team gains more XP in only 41.4% of games before minute 15.
Dream Coil leashes enemy heroes in place and stuns them if they pull free, and Sprout traps a target in trees beside them. Waning Rift silences the group, and Wrath of Nature bounces damage across every enemy in vision, more with each one it hits. Curse of the Oldgrowth slows and damages enemies standing near Sprout's trees. The XP-gain share is 47.3% between minutes 15 and 35.
Even Nature's Prophet's best pair loses more than it wins: 44.6% / 45.3% / 42.1% (Very High / High / Normal), below Puck's usual 48% / 47.1% / 46.1%. But it does better than the two heroes' win rates predict: +4.25 in Very High, +11.29 in High and +6.05 in Normal. The pair wins 57.1% of games under 25 minutes (91 games), 42.2% at 25–50 (1,768 games) and 47.9% past 50 (386 games), with an XP-gain share of 40.1% after minute 35.
