Although every gamer in Dota 2 has a favorite hero, the meta dictates that some heroes are simply better than others. The performance of a hero isn’t constant, though. Hero powers usually change after a new patch, game update, or balance alteration.
Using a strong hero is advantageous when you are looking to rank up fast. And although your hero probably won’t always be able to take out entire opponent teams, having a powerful meta hero will definitely increase your team win rates. As we’ve already pointed out, Dota 2’s competitive meta is prone to abrupt changes. Nevertheless, this article presents the strongest heroes you can add to your gaming rooster right now.
Lina
Out of the six Pro Circuit regions, Lina the Slayer is currently the most contested hero in five. Essentially, she is the most picked and banned hero in Southeast Asia, China, Western Europe, South America, and North America. This makes fiery Lina the hottest hero in Dota 2’s 7.32d patch.
In the past, gamers have mostly viewed Lina as a mid or support hero. Recent updates to her fiery soul have, however, pushed her to position one. As a carry, Lina isn’t easy to play. Surprisingly though, professional gamers like “V-Tune” recorded brilliant success during The International 11 championship, with Lina carrying the game. This proved that she’s indeed a powerful monster who can stand head-to-head against anybody in Dota 2.
Rubick
Over the years, Rubick has received multiple small buffs transforming him into a formidable team fight support in Dota 2. Consequently, he has become a favorite in many positions, especially positions 2 and 5.
The recent patch increased Rubick’s base damage, making him a more consistent harasser and right-clicker. Therefore, you can rely on him to cast the best spells and get items like Blink Daggers, Aghanim’s Scepter, and Aether lens to improve your odds in combat. One of the factors that make Rubick a powerful hero is his Spell Steal which easily puts off other heroes. Additionally, Rubick has numerous other benefits that give him limitless potential as a savior and team fight a god.
Treant Protector
He might not be as strong or even as popular as Rubick, but Treant is an excellent option in the current Dota 2 meta. He is a durable support with a base mana of 315 and health of 700. His many useful features have turned him into a favorite pick for initiating team fights in lanes.
Treant Protector, aka Rooftrellen, is often played in positions 4 and 5. He is most appreciated for his ability to provide immense healing to allies and structures. Nevertheless, he also has a host of other abilities that make him a formidable hero in Dota 2. Players can take advantage of Treant’s global regenerating armor, healing abilities, Nature’s Grasp, Aghanim’s Scepter, eyes in the forest, Leech Seed, Overgrowth, and many others to dominate their opponents.
Tiny
Tiny has always been part of the Dota 2 meta, and this isn’t about to change. His short game spans, high win rates, and impressive kit have etched out a spot for Tiny in this list of top-tier heroes.
Most professional Dota 2 players use tiny in mid-role, carry, and poison 4. A roaming Tiny often strikes fear in the enemy squad because of his ability to deal incredible burst damage. Tiny can also flash farm quite effectively, allowing him to quickly acquire life-saving items.
Tiny excels as a mid-layer. His Avalanche into Toss is a powerful skill that you can exploit to take out the single most-dangerous enemy hero. His Tree Grab abilities are also valuable in providing lethal damage, which makes Tiny a decent carry. Several other attributes set Tiny apart from other heroes. For instance, particularly fast-paced games can benefit from Tiny’s Strength. His ultimate Grow will also significantly improve your outcomes in taking outposts and towers, completing objectives, and hunting down enemy carries.
Tusk
This unrelenting Strength hero is a popular support counterpart. During TI11, Leon “Nine” Kirilin impressed Dota 2 fans by using Tusk as a high-tempo mid-lane hero. Since then, Tusk’s presence on Dota 2 rosters has been rising.
Tusk’s Ice Shards can lock enemies in battle, stop them from fleeing and deal damage to heroes who come into contact with the Shards. Further damage may be inflicted via his Snowball and signature attribute, the Walrus punch.
