General DiscussionIf you could only play 2-3 heroes per role, no matter what, who would...

2-3 heroes per role is plenty. Most people playing this game only play around 10 heroes regularly.

2. Monkey,Ember,OD
3. Timber,Shaker,Nyx
4. Riki,NS,Slardar

1. AM, Spectre, Dusa
2. Sniper, Drow, Viper
3. Necro, Necro, Necro
4. Riki, BH
5. Dazzle, CM

I'll give some reasoning for my picks because idk it was asked?

1. AM is good hero and can farm fast even when your team is being stupid. Also very fun. Same with spectre, but not as fun IMO. But a shit early game for spectre (at least for me) usually means nothing ever's going to change around. I also enjoy playing medusa but usually need the right circumstances or else team rages because dusa isn't out ganking at the 8 minute mark.

2. Except for drow early, it's easier to secure last hits early game and be able to push tower down when enemy leaves mid. Same applies when a bit later on and ganking side lanes (if applicable) to push down or damage enemy tower. Plus, they're fun.

3. Necro is OP. Durable and doesn't need to regen up later in game...as long as he doesn't die, he doesn't need to return to base or get regen courier'd out to him.

4. Because people rarely get sentry wards and it's fun to f*** around with enemy and harrass them early. And if the enemy has a jungler, just follow him around and make him tilt. Bounty hunter is fun for the same reasons, but if your team starts getting killed and you're there (using his track), you and your team get a bunch of extra gold, making the snowball game real.

5. I don't really like playing CM but it's a strong support for mana and disable early (obviously). I like playing dazzle because he has some awesome saves....unless your ally doesn't realize what his W does so he keeps running when he could have TP'd out because no enemy had a stun.

Necro is the only hero I started playing right now because he's in the meta.

#1-3's, if you have a bad early game you can often hit the jungle or afk in lane for a little while (while keeping creep equilibrium near your tower FFS!), and catch up a fair amount, assuming you're unmolested....which happens frequently enough, since oftentimes enemy won't react to you farming if the creeps aren't pushing up to their tower.

1. Monkey King, Antimage, Slark
2. Storm, Tinker, Arc Warden, Monkey King
3. Enchantress, Void, Monkey King
4. Riki, Monkey King
5. Oracle, Dazzle, Disruptor

I don't care much about other heroes.

qop mirana storm ?
so you got counter by orchid or anytype of silence easily

1: Bs Am Axe (yes, I am willing to play pos 1 axe)
2: Qop SF Brood
3: Axe Sb Abaddon
4: Bh Wyvern Sb
5: Wyvern Oracle Jakiro

am jugg morph.

1. jugg invo kunkka
2. actually im never know what pos 2 (because my farm is around 1 or 3 never 2
3. mk riki
4. bara mk riki
5. kunkka ogre mk riki

1. AM, Luna, Spec (signature Heroes)
2. Storm, SF, QoP hate midlane tho
3.WR, Necro, Magnus Personal preference
4. Pudge, mirana, rubick
5. Lion, WD, disruptor

1: sven luna and ld, those can farm quick and recover from a bad lane with just levels
2: viper, i suck mid and this still wins lanes
3: legion underlord abaddon, these guys can still deny farm from the carry in 1v3 lanes and retire to the jungle
4: bara sk nyx, tanky roamers with alot of utility and combo potential
5: lich venge ogre, each of them has abilities to stay relevant in the lategame with only like a forcestaff or a glimmer

1) TB, AM, Weaver
2) SF, Viper, Alch
3) Cent, Necro, Bristle (So many more)
4) BH, SB, Sand King
5) Dazzle, Phoenix, Witch Doctor

1Drow clinkz
2.
3. Cent nyx sk
4 . Sb riki aa
5 lich ogre
I pretty much avoid playing mid cuz mid is rly tilty role. Imo mid players have worst mental attitude.

I play pos 2, 4, 5. So not really used to 1,3. I dont really care which of those three i am.

1 - tb, pa, drow
2 - wind is enough. Back up is Dusa (with drow), alch
3 - axe, tide?
4 - riki, pudge, dusa(jungle, with drow)
5 - wd, cm... ogre

1. Drow, Void, TB.
2. Pls no don't make me do this pls. I can't make myself understand mid even after tutorials and pro games.
3. Wr, Pitlord, Doom.
4. BH, Ogre, SB.
5. Oracle (especially him), Lich, SD.

I'm not a core player. That's not something i'm good at, so i just picked heroes i enjoyed most for pos 1 and 3. And avoided pos 2 cuz i'm literally a definition of a lost mid. Even as Viper. And i never really enjoyed it.
BH = wasted enemy money on sentries and dusts + money from track for team. Ogre is just tanky at early levels and SB... He is just gud, okay?
Lich takes exp from ranged creep on lane, SD is scary with/against right heroes and Oracle... I just enjoy my Oracle. Very versatile, always useful with just a lens and an urn. I really want to git gud with this hero.

1. Luna sven sniper
2. Tinker alch sniper
3. I dont play offlane too often but tidehunter gets the job done quite well for me
4. riki bh pugna
5. Cm, i dont pick anything else for this role so idk

1. AM TB Luna
2. SS TA Viper
3. Veno Centaur DK
4. BH riki Omni
5. CM Dazzle kotl

1. Slark Sven AM
2. Viper Alch TA
3. Tidehunter Centaur Slardar
4. Riki OrgeMagi Omni
5. Lion CM ShadowShaman

how about 1 per role? 15 heroes is way too many.

1. Troll cus I like troll, doesn't have a ton of counters, fits many lineups
2. Viper cus he can go mid or off or safe
3. Tide I guess, I don't play a lot of offlane
4. Jakiro, does a lot for team, flexible
5. Lich just cush

i already do.
1. arc
2. am
3. sk
4. sb
5. cm

4. Earth Spirit, Earth Shaker, Visage

I love playing the 4 and 5 role. I have a lot more heroes that I can place there, but those would probably be the most fun.

1. Safe Lone Druid
2. Mid Lone Druid
3. Offlane Lone Druid
4. Jungle lone druid
5. roaming oov lone druid
...
7. winter wyvern

Did not choose them 'cause of the meta of course (NS mid and Slardar offlane lmao, that's how I used to stomp with them tho), but 'cause I'm goot at them and/or I think they're fun to play. If I had to play only the heroes I can play well it'd be boring, so I thought "let's throw my wonderful 45% wr Voker and 38% wr ES in there too" o/
