Dota 2: Which is the strongest Core hero meta?

Once again, let’s take a look at the top heroes in the current pub meta. Today, the article will focus on core mid, carry, offlane; to find the most successful heroes statistically and find out why they are so strong.

SLARDAR – MOST STABLE OFFLANER

Despite being nerfed, Slardar is still one of the most successful heroes in pubs with an average win rate of 52%. He is also among the most popular heroes, being picked in about 15% of games. The only rank the hero has trouble with is Ancient, with a win rate down to 49%: Players at this skill already know how to deal with the hero, but may not have found the strategy or the skills to make the most of it. multi Slardar.

I really believe that the main reason this hero is so strong at most ranks is because the gameplay is pretty specific: you run or blink in, initiate combat, use Corrosive Haze and then try to harass as much as possible. as possible, and find a way to survive. Slardar’s obvious playstyle is to just hit the opponent – something a lot of squads need in their offlane. This hero is not easy to confront and hard to ignore, not to mention the stable bash waves.

Crafting for longevity and mobility is key and this hero is quite greedy despite not being able to farm quickly. This makes Slardar a hero who eats a lot. Still, statistics show that Slardar is definitely worth your bets. Make sure you know what to prioritize and make sure the item build has something to keep Slardar alive.

PHANTOM LANCER – REMOVING HUMAN MEAT

Phantom Lancer is very annoying to play against and that’s why the hero is so successful in pubs. The 52% win rate and over 10% pick rate make this hero a great pick: there are very few games where the PL is at a disadvantage.

The combination of agility, good farm potential, and early combat, plus the Diffusal Blade rush is what makes this hero a priority in the meta. In addition, heroes that are difficult for Phantom Lancer are often not as popular or as strong as they used to be. Specifically, Ember Spirit and Leshrac both have a pick rate of less than 10% and a win rate of less than 50%.

Confronting this hero can be very difficult in the mid game, so trying to focus on map control early is the way to go. PL can’t do anything else in the teamfight without the first items. So, pick strong heroes in the laning phase, and keep an eye on Phantom Lancer at all times to make your life easier.

HUSKAR – NERF BUT LIVE

Huskar, despite being nerfed and has a tutorial against him, the hero continues to dominate in every way. Specifically, this hero achieved a win rate of nearly 60% in Ancient rank this week. Huskar is considered the strongest situational core in the game today.

The popularity of this hero is quite low: only about 10% and is in the last group of heroes picked. There are a few heavy hitters to Huskar in both support and core, so you can start the draft with Ancient Apparition or choose high-damage cores like Death Prophet later in the draft.

Finally, the player must get the right item when encountering Huskar: you can’t play greedy against this hero due to his extremely high tempo and Huskar often pushes the highground with Aegis first. Get to Spirit Vessel in time if you can, then give Glimmer Cape support, and keep your formation while playing it safe.

RAZOR – Worth a try

While supports are sometimes afraid to play heroes that require high skill/good microphones, core gamers often avoid heroes that play too boring. Razor is definitely a victim of this problem. Despite being one of the heroes with the highest win rate, Razor’s popularity is quite low.

At the top of the ranks this week, Razor isn’t doing very well, but he’s absolutely dominating at 2k-5k. Ease of implementation plus no need to play greedy, and strong capabilities in the future are not to be underestimated, especially in pub environments.

This is one of the best heroes against strong carries in the mid game. Juggernaut, PA, Monkey King and Slark are among the most popular heroes from Archon to Ancient. And Razor can counter them all.
