Dota 2: Top carry strongest in meta patch 7.27d

The number of carry heroes in patch 7.27d is now very diverse, but some are still outstanding. Today’s article will take a look at the top Dota 2 carries that are being used a lot in the professional arena.

FACELESS VOID

As a carry hero that shaped the 7.27d meta in Dota 2, Faceless Void has always been in the top pick with over 200 times with a 60% win rate in the last 2 months. That statistic shows that Void is the most reliable and successful pick currently.

Faceless Void is a strong carry hero in lane, but not because of his ability to pressure opponents but because he can survive most situations. Reaching level 6, the hero can play with his teammates whenever Chronosphere is ready. Faceless Void starts carrying the team when it gets the second or third item, responsible for making the core DPS quite strong. By the end of the game, we don’t need to argue about the strength of Void, the best carry of the current meta.

When playing well and having a draft lineup around Faceless Void, this is a very scary hero to face. Heroes like Jakiro and Phoenix (also strong supports in the patch) combo well with Faceless Void. Meanwhile, Void’s nemesis like Naga Siren are not in the meta (although not weak).

With the current status, Faceless Void will almost be nerfed in the next patch. Maybe indirect nerfs are also the solution: Faceless Void relies on MoM to farm and deal damage early to mid game. There is no hero that promotes the effect of this item as well and safely as Void.

TERRORBLADE

Terorblade is also a top carry with the same win rate as Faceless Void, but half the popularity, being picked in less than 100 games. This can be interpreted as TB as an “effective carry depending on the match”, not a meta-shaping hero.

However, in the matches where Terrorblade is picked, this hero usually does well. Hero withstands physical damage extremely well in the later stages of the game. TB is also a very fast carry farm that can push multiple lanes at once. And yet, TB is an almost immortal machine until 40 minutes. However, there are two main problems that Terrorblade is facing right now.

The meta now has a lot of magic damage heroes: Zeus, Lina, Venomancer, etc. These heroes put Terrorblade in big trouble. Faceless Void, Lifestealer, Windranger, and many other hand-to-hand heroes rush MKB as their first item, every time they see an opportunity to make good use of MKB’s magic damage.

That’s not to say Terrorblade is useless once the opponent has MKB, but he is a carry that can’t function independently in the late game. TB needs allied heroes to prepare him to deal damage and needs their help to stay on Sunder after the enemy’s BKB ends.

DROW RANGER

The win rate between the two heroes above and Drow Ranger is quite different: DR only won 54 times. Even so, this hero with more than 100 picks is still an impressive number.

The article feels that the current Drow Ranger is strong because the current meta revolves around carry agility and that makes this hero’s Marksmanship very effective. Being able to deal pure damage is a huge bonus. This hero doesn’t win much for two reasons.

The first is that the game has too many non-agility cores in the game: heroes like Sven and Lifestealer are popular and quite effective. Their bonus armor does not allow the Drow Ranger to quickly wipe out enemies.

The second problem is that Drow Ranger still needs allied heroes to help her attack freely. Anyone who lunges at the Drow Ranger can put DR in danger, something pro players understand best. This hero is strongest when drafted in a team with at least two leading heroes capable of controlling the opponent. Usually we will see Drow Ranger on the same team with some heroes like Clockwerk, Tidehunter, Mars and Centaur.

Obviously Drow Ranger is strong, but this hero can’t excel in pubs, especially at low ranks. But at high rank, almost every gamer knows his role as well as the goal to aim for in teamfight. And if you play in a party, the Drow Ranger can do quite well.

EPILOGUE

We have many more heroes worth analyzing, but here are the top three carries that stand out the most in the current 7.27d Dota 2 patch. They have very different gameplay and gameplay. That proves this patch opens up a lot of diverse strategies for every player.
