10. Crystal Maiden
Crystal Maiden is a support champion that can slow enemies and give mana back to her team. She works well on any team and is extremely useful in team fights because of her ability to root the enemies to the ground. Crystal Maiden is someone who can easily target you and pull you away from your team if you’re not careful. If you’re playing against a Crystal Maiden, I would recommend not getting too close. Gaining vision on the enemy team can help to keep your team safe throughout the later game when Crystal Maiden begins to roam around with others.
9. Windranger
Windranger is great for initiating fights, and, getting out of them. Her ability to gain movement speed and slow the enemy at the same time comes in handy whether you are chasing, or fleeing. Powershot lets you farm from a distance, which helps keep you safe early in the game when you are pressured by the enemy laner. It is hard to kill a Windranger in the early game just because of how easily she can get away from an ambush or any attempt at jumping her.
8. Lina
Although Lina is very mana dependent during the early game, she can become a great threat during late. Her combo allows her to take an enemy down almost instantly. Lina’s casting delay on Light Strike Array means you have to time it right and predict where the enemy will be in a half second if you want your combo to work. Her ultimate can instantly melt squishy enemies that wander off. Other than her high skill capacity, if you learn to play her well, you can take complete control of a game on your own, which makes her a great champion to carry with.
7. Bounty Hunter
Bounty Hunter is a great hero if you are into shutting your enemies down early game by camping and ganking their lanes. His ability to become invisible and gain extra gold from killing enemies makes him very useful for the team. Not only does the whole team gain gold from him but, when his ultimate is toggled, both him and his teammates gain movement speed if they are near each other. Bounty Hunter is almost like an extra buff for a team since he can help out in a lot of different ways.
6. Tidehunter
Tidehunter is a late-game tanky bruiser. His ultimate has the ability to stun an entire team while dealing damage at the same time. If Tidehunter’s ultimate is used correctly, team fights will become a breeze. When playing Tidehunter always make sure to build a Blink Dagger because it allows him to become a lot more mobile by giving him the ability to “blink” up to 1200 units across the map.
5. Juggernaut
Juggernaut is a powerful carry that can speedily burst down any enemy when caught out on their own. His ultimate allows him to become immune which comes in handy when slashing enemies to pieces in the middle of a large teamfight. His ultimate can deal up to 2025 damage when maxed and focused on one enemy. The trick to all-inning someone with Juggernaut is to catch them away from their team and creep waves, so that the ultimate damage won’t be spread among other creatures but instead to one single enemy.
4. Keeper of the Light
Keeper of the Light is a fairly easy hero to play. He is a very good hero for farming and can take a whole wave out at once if he is fed enough. Since Keeper of the Light is so efficient when farming, he is able to hit max build faster than most teammates and enemies since he doesn’t miss as much farm as others. Keeper of the Light is a great hero to get if you are good, or bad at farming. Once farmed up, Keeper of the Light is able to deal out massive amounts of damage to heroes on the opposing team.
3. Drow Ranger
Drow Ranger is a high damage carry. Her ability to slow enemies comes in handy when trying to single out a single enemy in a team fight. Drow Ranger’s slow can also help to keep an enemy in range if they are trying to escape, or slow them down if they are chasing her. Drow Ranger can also silence enemy heroes, which can be very helpful in team fights to protect her or her teammates from high damaging enemies.
2. Dark Seer
Dark Seer is a very mobile hero, and his speed can make him very hard to catch. Dark Seer is able to farm from a safe range and catch out anybody who strays too close. In team fights, Dark Seer can use his combo to group enemies together and duplicate them to do maximum damage by activating Vacuum and Wall of Replica. Dark Seer then has the ability to use the replicas at his own will. The duplicates can deal damage until the time wears out and they disappear.
1. Omniknight
Omniknight has one of the highest win rates in Dota 2. His ability to tank his way through team fights and protect his team by doing so can come in handy when pushing for a win during the mid and late game. Omniknight has a fairly basic playstyle but is very hard to shut down. If you happen to be playing against an Omniknight then make sure you don’t let him snowball into the later game because it will be hard to control him once he starts to build tanky. It will be very hard to win a team fight against one because of his ability to heal his team. Omniknight is very hard to kill being one of the tankiest heroes in the game.
