      • Public results use dated OpenDota public matches; longer games are a different cohort.

      Lane meeting & late-game evidence

      Direct lane evidence is not applicable to these selected positions.

      For late-game evidence, compare the 25–60 minute outcome cohorts and recorded economy above. These do not prove which hero outscales the other.
