At any time, no matter what version, on the hero use list, we can see that the butcher is at the top of the list and far ahead of other heroes.
Since the official beta of Dota 2, more than 5 billion matches have been played (some of which are human-machine and other matches), the number of butcher choices is as high as 730 million, the official selection rate is as high as 34.91%, and the second-place Phantom Assassin and the third sniper are only 500 million times.

This month, the butcher's use exceeded 10 million times a month, a full three million times more than the second-place lion!
So, what is the reason why the hero of the butcher has been so popular with everyone since his appearance?
Randomness is full, possibility is full
Players choose a lot, and surely the most important reason is that it's fun. This "fun" is embodied in the butcher, that is, randomness and possibility.
One of the butcher's skills, the Meat Hook, shoots the Meat Hook to hook the first encountered unit and take him to the butcher's side. This skill can either instantly kill the enemy leader from among the ten thousand armies into his own epicenter, or save his teammates from water and fire, or even hook the rune from a dangerous place to the side and eat it and escape.
Butcher this meat hook skill, random pull full. It's not that the hook hooks out randomly, but every time the hooker needs to fight with the other party.
When the butcher prejudged that the opponent's blood was insufficient and wanted to retreat, he did not expect the other party to die in front of him to prepare for the bloody fight; when the butcher saw that the other party was going to kill his teammates and wanted to hook his teammates back, he did not expect that a hero of the other party suddenly jumped on the face of his teammates, but the butcher hooked the other hero back.
As a result, the butcher also martyred his teammates. There are countless such scenarios.
As for the possibility, when the other side is inferior and high, the butcher may win a lot of time by hooking the opponent's key hero to the high ground, and when the other side is pushed high, hooking back a hero like a tide or mystery may also have the opposite effect...
Satisfaction
When opening the black with a good friend, every time the knife butcher, before the check, will shout a word, I want to check! After hooking people, they will shout immediately, and when they hook up, they will hook up!
The skill of the meat hook itself is the IQ of the enemy and us in the competition, hooking the enemy hero, instantly feeling that the IQ crushed the other party, plus the teammates praised two more sentences: "Bull ratio!" Good hook! "Instantly I was happy.
And the butcher's three skills rotten meat pile will accumulate his kills/assists for the butcher, as long as the opponent is killed, the butcher can get the power attribute within a certain range, looking at the layer after layer of power attributes, it will also make the player feel satisfied.
The charm of the knifeman
When it comes to the user of the butcher, it is naturally ti1 champion Navi's single Dendi, dendi's story can not be said for days and nights.
At ti3, Dendi showed us the charm of a butcher. In a battle against the Chinese team Tongfu, Dendi uses the Zhongdan Butcher, and Before the checkout, Puppet's Chen teleports the butcher home, and when the transmission is delayed, the person Dendi hooks will be directly hooked back to the spring by Dendi.
Yes, this is the famous spring hook.
With the help of the Spring Hook, Tongfu's shielded plane was killed in Navi's Fountain Water, and Tongfu was defeated by Navi. Although the V Society later repaired the fountain hook and declared it a bug, Dendi undoubtedly embodied the charm of the hero of the Dota game and the butcher for the majority of Dotaer.
At ti5 All-Star Game, Dendi and his Navi were eliminated in the first round of TI5, but in the All-Star Game, a butcher Coser was selected for the All-Star Game, and when the butcher Coser took off his hood to reveal Dendi's true face, the whole audience boiled.
It is this Dendi, who is loved by the whole world, who also leads us to find the joy of Dota and experience the joy of the butcher.
Accessories matching
The butcher is fierce, dark, bloody, but somewhat chubby, and sometimes it becomes a cute point, especially in the Western world, everyone likes such heroes.
Plus the butcher hero has countless accessories, and a few sets of them can be well matched, as well as dragon hooks, fire hooks, ripper hooks (and scarlet!). And so on, a series of hooks that hit the soul and hooked the hearts of the players.
Ti7's supreme treasure vote butcher won, which in a certain sense also reflects the popularity of the butcher.
version
In a game like Moba that emphasizes victory, the use of a hero is naturally related to his strength, and the butcher's performance in the passer-by game is never bad, especially this version of the butcher is really called a strong.
The butcher hits the single, often let the opposite side eat the exclamation point; playing the inferior road, often hitting the opposite number three position can not occupy the line; playing the number four position, cold not ding a hook will hook the other party's core figure to kill, the later stage is still a big piece of meat, watching the butcher with thousands of blood can only turn around and run.
Thanks to the increase in the three-skill blood return, the butcher version has become particularly useful in passers-by, with players using it in almost every round.
The tide rises and falls, the floats and sinks, the hero is always strong and weak, the old love is not as good as the new love, and it will always change with the version. The hero of the butcher has become a "nail household" and is firmly nailed to the top of the hero's list.
Ahh... Fresh Meat~~Dota2, launch! Butcher, choose! Pork! Tenderloin! Big steak! The first drop of blood, was my chin stained with gravy?
