Dota 2 probably has the largest arsenal of heroes you can pick from compared to any other game. Each of these heroes their its own unique skillsets and offers a unique gameplay experience. Moreover, the hero meta in Dota keeps evolving with each update, making hero choices very difficult. That said, here are our picks for the best Dota heroes concerning the five different positions in the game.

Dota 2 Best Heroes Position Wise

Carry (Position 1)

Heroes in this position receive the highest farm priority in Dota 2. As the name of the position suggests, Carry heroes usually have a high damage output. These heroes are usually dependent on gold, allowing them to build their items quicker. As per the current meta, the best heroes are as follows:

Mid-Lane (Position 2)

This position is probably one of the most versatile positions in the game. Heroes that fall under position 2 are equally dependent on gold and XP. These heroes usually perform well in 1v1 situations and are responsible for winning the mid-lane encounters for their teams.

Off-Lane (Position 3)

Heroes in this position usually have a tank-like nature, allowing them to survive even in tough spots. Off-lane heroes are usually responsible for pushing through the enemy defenses, thanks to their tanking capabilities.

Soft Support (Position 4)

Soft support heroes are responsible for maintaining lane control by pulling in the jungle creeps. They’re also responsible for banking in those early game kills in Dota 2. Moreover, their abilities allow them to exert additional pressure on enemy towers during the early stages of the game.

Hard Support (Position 5)

Hard support heroes are mainly dependent on their item and ability levels. Unlike the Position 1 hero, the hard support is least dependent on farming. However, they’re also responsible for purchasing consumables for the entire team. Although it looks like a very boring role, hard support heroes are usually the backbone of the team.

This is our tier list for the current meta. However, feel free to try the other heroes that the game has to offer. As mentioned before, each hero is very unique, so you never know which hero works out for you.
