Often referred to as one of the easiest heroes to play, Phantom Assassin is causing havoc in every single skill bracket in Dota 2. Nevertheless, Phantom Assassin has made a name for herself as one of the deadliest heroes in the game, which was expected, considering her second name is an assassin. The second hero in our list is very different when you compare it with Pudge because she is only capable of playing two roles - mid or a safelane carry. Unless IceFrog decides to change his spells, he is not going anywhere in terms of popularity.

Pudge has been picked a total of 745,603,397 times, which is mind-blowing. His ultimate is also very flashy because he starts "eating" his target. However, it is essential to know that Meat Hook is one of the hardest skill shots in the game, so it will take a while before you learn how to use it properly. Without a doubt, his most signature spell is Meat Hook, which is capable of changing the balance of power in a team fight. Pudge has four skills, three of which are active and one passive. Nevertheless, players quickly found out that this hero is better if he is played as a roaming support. He used to be one of the best mid laners back in the day, and even players such as Danil "Dendi" Ishutin made them for themselves just by spamming this hero. Historically speaking, Pudge has changed his positions a lot. Regardless of the meta heroes or the different nerfs and buffs, he remains one of the most picked heroes.

Pudge is an Icon and an ambassador of this game that's been around since the DotA days. This is probably the most classic hero you can find in Dota 2. The data for the number of picks is sourced from DotaBuff. Keep it in mind that the list will be very diverse, and it will include heroes from different positions. However, today, we will focus on some of Dota 2's most picked heroes outside the "meta" ones.

Many players tend to spam the "broken" heroes of the current patch to get as much MMR as possible.Īlso, at the upcoming Kyiv Dota 2 Major, there's a chance to see the most broken heroes in the current meta and the way how pros use them. The pick rating of a certain hero usually depends on his stats in the current patch. However, regardless of the different updates that come out, there are always a handful of heroes that people prefer to pick. Dota 2 has one of the largest hero pools out of any MOBA game.
