Dota 2 is one of the world's most popular esports with its annual world championship, The International, drawing millions of viewers and the biggest prize pool of any esport event. Over the years though, the number of new players in Dota 2 has stagnated due to its steep learning curve, poor matchmaking system, and the lack of an in-depth tutor

One of the aforementioned top Intelligence hero staples, Invoker has always been an interesting character to play. He's also possibly the most complex hero in DOTA 2 because he has in total, 14 abilities, four of which he uses to create the other

Alongside his former teammate and support player Mata, the two players developed a unique playstyle where, after gaining bottom lane priority, the support would roam into the bottom side river with the jungle player to secure vision and fight over objectives. DanDy's trophy case shows off many accolades an LCK Championship and a World Championship among t

While many competitive games are renowned for their difficulty, it also makes sense to ensure that the player base continues to grow and evolve over time. With Valve's improved tutorial system for Dota 2 __ and its adjustments in the matchmaking system, it is setting an example for similar games. Newcomers should have access to the tools to help them improve and they shouldn't have to rely on their friends or spend their time digging through online resources to learn a game. Fostering a welcoming environment is just as important as teaching the mechanics of a game and the new changes in Dota 2 should hopefully inspire other developers to do the s

As you can imagine, he doesn't play conventionally like most DOTA 2 heroes. He can function as somewhat of a tank by shifting in and out of existence. You have to make use of these tactically though as they can also double as his damage abilit

Earth Spirit or Kaolin might be a bit fiddly for anyone who's used to Strength heroes being mostly initiators or tanks, but in the right hands, he shines in the mid lane. Kaolin's plethora of crowd control and disruption abilities make him a walking disaster for the enemy t

Over this career, ClearLove has won an IGN Pro League, Mid-Season Invitational, LPL Regional Final, Rift Rivals, and an LPL Championship. Alongside these wins, ClearLove has been to qualified for the World Championship tournament an astounding 4 times. He was part of one of the most dominating rosters ever assembled on a Chinese team with EDG in 2017. During the Spring Slit that EDG won that year, ClearLove carried an overall KDA of 6

As the best hero in the game currently, nobody is laughing anymore. He can farm with each clone and gain an experience advantage that no other hero in the game can contest. When all of his clones are together, he has an eight-second disable and a 480 damage n

Canyon is the Graves savant and holds an 84% win rate on the champion. In 2020, he won a World Championship trophy with DAMWON gaming alongside an LCK championship. Canyon's overall record is quite outstanding at 184 wins and 92 los

Updated on June 6th, 2021 by Hodey Johns: It's hardly a surprise that this list needs an update. Each patch brings something new, each new hero throws off the balance, and each in-game price adjustment alters the metagame. The latest patch has substantially shaken up the list and so, after gathering the latest win percentage statistics at the highest levels of play, these are now the best heroes in the game as it sta

Passing up on the jungle is wasting experience and gold. Thankfully, nobody combines jungling and ganking quite like Enigma. He can be tough to play and master, but those who have completed the new and expensive tutorial just might have him figured

Of course, Strength-type DPS heroes also exist and Rizzrack or Timbersaw has proven that such a combination can strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. A competent Timbersaw player can bag some Double or Triple Kills quite easily if they're lucky eno

In essence, Diamondprox's teammates would pick champions that could easily push waves, enabling him to roam into the enemy jungle without fear of the enemy Top and Mid Lane players collapsing on him. Diamondprox changed the Jungle role from being a PVE role to an aggressive, skirmish-centric role where fighting over neutral objectives and enemy camps is the prior

Perhaps the character's most iconic skill , "Judgement," which sees him spinning with his sword and moving rapidly, is put into an equally comedic and deadly light by the size of the blade as represented in this cosplay. Echoing the conflict between the kingdom of Demacia and magic, Garen is shown wielding his greatsword against the "Final Spark" of Lux, as cosplayed by @bogan_l

@overbombercosplay's rendition of Garen distinctly features glowing orbs in the armor and sword, MOBA Item guide further highlighting these iconic features with an emblazoned glow that speaks to the character's streng
