Pro players love these top 3 Dota 2 heroes, and they have found a lot of success when playing against the best teams in the league.
The tournament’s players are constantly finding new uses for the outdated heroes and come up with new playing styles that are unheard of before.
The variety in each hero along with the versatility to use it can be different from what other pro players do. You don’t have to stick to just one specific build or way of playing it. If you want to improve yourself or your team, try to play a hero that no one ever thought of doing so.
However, there are heroes that definitely stick out in the professional competitions. With esports Canadaa and the rest of the world getting in grips with the professional tournaments, it’s wise to check out these top 3 heroes to know which ones are best rooting for.
Terrorblade
Terrorblade is a ranged agility hero that relies on his Mirror Image ability to escape from enemies. He is usually played as an aggressive carry with a good initiation and burst damage.
Terrorblade's ultimate ability, Metamorphosis, is an active-transformation ability that transforms Terrorblade into a demon with a ranged attack. Carries are heroes that have weak early games, but grow to become extremely powerful late game.
In the pro scene, Terrorblade is used frequently because of his high damage and easy farming builds. With his illusions, you have the option to split farms and gain more gold and experience.
Lion
Lion is one of the best support heroes in the pro Dota 2 scene because of his wide array of disables. His ultimate, Finger of Death, can instantly kill an enemy hero if it lands, making him a great hero to pick against high HP targets like Alchemist or Spectre.
He is a versatile support that can be played aggressively in the early laning phase and transition into a more defensive role later on. Lion's skillset can dominate the early game and take control of the lane.
At level two, Lion can cast Earth Spike to hit his opponent for some decent damage and stun them for a short duration. At level three, he can combine Hex with Earth Spike for an extremely strong combo that's very difficult to trade against from behind the creeps.
This places Lion as one of the most popular heroes in the tournaments because he is so useful in team fights and ganks. With skills like these, he can make the most out of his arsenal and become one of Dota 2’s absolute best.
Earthshaker
Earthshaker is one of those offlane heroes that has a very wide skill set. His kit consists of a stun that can be channelled on multiple targets, a long range AoE knockback and silence, an ultimate AoE stun and burst damage, and he's also one of the few heroes that doesn't need Blink Dagger to escape from ganks.
That said, Earthshaker is literally the most popular choice for professional players as an offlaner; especially in the International 7 where he was one of the defining heroes of that year’s tournament. The impact he brings to teamfights is incomparable to any other hero.
With Earthshaker’s amazing skills, it’s hard to not pick him in dire situations where the team needs a stunner and a high-damage dealing hero.
Dota 2 in esports Canada and the rest of the world have watched countless heroes getting drafted every start of the match.
