Electing for a more proportional representation of Garen's armor, the blues and golds look well-maintained and ready for a morale-boosting parade through the streets of Demacia—in particular, the scale armor located just below the pauldrons stands out as an impressive design f

While there are many support heroes in the game, there are very few true healers. Preventing damage or adding life affects the battle at its very core; the hero with life remaining at the end of the fight w

At one point, this spot would have been occupied by Anti-Mage, but there is a new mana-burner in town with more utility and greater burst damage that still carries games. Nyx Assassin has essentially filled the Anti-Mage role and added onto

Warring Kingdoms Garen, for example, takes an emphatically Western knight and sees him as an Eastern warrior. @bloodrage.cosplay embodies this transformation with their stunning cosplay, represented particularly in the armor's construction and jade-green sword, which are both accentuated by the verdant backd

Talking about the best heroes in Dota 2 is a little bit like talking about the prettiest leaves on a tree in the fall. They change at uneven rates, so just a single day can pass and suddenly a drab leaf can become vibrant and a vibrant leaf can fall off the tree. All heroes are subject to patches and rebalancing that can see them skyrocket up the charts or click home page fall out of the metagame entir

As one of the smart spiritual brothers of the Void Spirit, Raijin Thunderkeg or Storm Spirit is a bit more clever than Inai. He's a ranged attacker that excels in ganking and carrying the whole team with his highly synergistic set of abilit

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

In terms of abilities, Puck has the whole package to annoy the enemy team into submission and even survive in case he makes mistakes or something goes wrong. He was already an evasive menace in past updates and with the new buffs, he became even more of a thr

So don't play with humans right away as a way to gauge your skills. DOTA 2 has competent-enough bots that can help players test out heroes, tactics, and builds until they're ready to get chucked into the brutal world of MOBA

That's why he's somewhat of a priority target. However, Leshrac can easily deal with anyone who wants a piece of him thanks to his Nihilism skill after which he can just jump into the fray and Pulse Nova everyone to death. On his own, he's already capable, but with a team behind him, all it takes is a few abilities to win a cl

This can cost them the game. It lets the enemy recover and removes the most important repercussion when losing clashes. Unless your team has the landslide advantage and you only want to prolong the enemy's suffering, not taking advantage of post-clast wipes a bad p

There's a reason why League of Legends is more popular than DOTA 2. DOTA 2 is a game of precision and mastery where mistakes get punished with a snowballing defeat and verbal expletives from your teammates (often the latter). The higher learning curve (and more elitist players) compared to other MOBAs make it rather intimidating especially for newb

The unmistakable red hair paired with her seafaring outfit, most identifiable by her large pirate-style hat and one of her iconic pistols (the pair are named "Shock" and "Awe), signify to the world that Miss Fortune is on the hunt for bounties; a single arched eyebrow seems to dare any would-be bandit or pirate to try their luck going against the legendary capt

Adopting a more realistic approach, @kennycosplaystuff's armor glimmers with heroic energy. This take on Garen appears more like a traditional knight, toning down the oversized elements of the Demacian's des

Riot tells us the dev team is prioritizing getting classic League champions out the door, expecting to get about two champions out the door per month through 2021. Right now, Wild Rift sports 61 champions, not even half of the PC version's roster of 156, but there are still plenty out there to fill each laning r

Riki's permanent invisibility has been a problem for Dota 2 fans since the game first debuted. Amateur players might suggest that buying wards or carrying gems solves the problem, but it really and truly does

There is a good reason that players are getting banned for smurfing in matchmaking. Broodmother in the hands of a pro player is monstrous at lower tiers. Yet it's still a top-three carry option even at the top these d

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
