9Class shares his position 4 support tier list for patch 7.41d

According to PARIVISION support player Edgar 9Class Naltakyan, the best heroes of patch 7.41d are Hoodwink, Pudge, Keeper of the Light, Treant Protector, and Earth Spirit.

It is worth noting that most of these heroes regularly appear in professional drafts, and despite the patch, the overall meta has remained largely unchanged.

However, Rubick, the most popular hero of the recent Esports World Cup 2026 qualifiers, did not make Naltakyan's S-tier list despite appearing in 65 matches with a 49.2% win rate. Hoodwink was the second most-picked hero, appearing in 58 games.

Treant Protector posted the highest win rate, winning 72% of his 40 matches. The hero is also regularly played as a position five support.

According to 9Class, other consistently strong heroes include Snapfire, Windranger, the pub favorite Lion, and Clockwerk, the most successful hero of BLAST Slam VII.

It is worth noting that Snapfire is regularly played in the mid lane, while Windranger is often picked as a carry. The latter also became notable after Yakult Brothers support Ye BoBoKa Zhibiao suffered a streak of 17 consecutive losses while playing the hero.

9Class considers Monkey King, Slark, and Zeus to be the weakest position four picks. Ironically, these were the very heroes on which he repeatedly showcased unconventional strategies, forcing PARIVISION's opponents to ban them during the team's early matches.

It remains unknown whether a larger patch will be released before Esports World Cup 2026, which will take place from 06.07.2026 to 18.07.2026 in Paris, France. A total of 24 teams will compete for a $2,000,000 prize pool.
