Queen of Pain — hero grid for mains

Queen of Pain is what the game calls the hero in every client; Russian-speaking players say “Квин оф Пейн” (or “квопа”, “квин” and “акаша”). Short names for Queen of Pain you will see in chat: “qop”.

The hero's line in Valve's list reads: “Blinks in to deal massive magical damage”.

The site's “Choose a hero” window finds Queen of Pain by any of “Queen of Pain”, “Квин оф Пейн” and “qop”.

Queen of Pain is an Intelligence hero (34 of them in the game), ranged, complexity 2 of 3 by Valve's rating.

Role dots from Valve: Nuker ●●●, Escape ●●●, Carry ●○○; full marks for Nuker and Escape.

In the ready layouts that means the “INTELLIGENCE” (13th of 34) block of By attributes and the “MEDIUM” (38th of 59) band of By complexity.

Queen of Pain is a one-position hero — mid (2); no other score goes above 0.05. All five scores (best = 1): carry 0.03 · mid 1 · offlane 0.05 · soft support 0.03 · hard support 0 — which is why the editor's Auto-pick places Queen of Pain in the “2 · MID” row and nowhere else.

Lanes over 1,308 parsed OpenDota matches as of 23 Sept 2026: safe 3%, mid 90%, off 7%. Median GPM 519, XPM 759 — between support (360) and core (540), a supportness of 0.09 by the site's formula.

For a layout by role, take Classic: positions 1–5: Queen of Pain is already there, 5th of 18 in “2 · MID”.

Quickly, the rest of the practical templates for Queen of Pain: not in Meta by stats (ten heroes per position); Two columns — “CORES”, 20th of 44.

With the button at the top, the MAINS block of Mains + situational starts with Queen of Pain, then Storm Spirit, Invoker and Tinker, because all three share the same main position (mid), the same attribute and ranged attack.

Then it is “Download grid” and hero_grid_config.json into Steam\userdata\<number>\570\remote\cfg while Dota is closed; load your current file in the “Your grid is ready” window and your old grids stay (install guide).
