Best Carry In Dota 2 Patch 7.40

The release of Patch 7.40 significantly changed the balance in Dota 2. Changes to hero abilities and items affected the game’s meta, resulting in an updated list of the most effective carry heroes. Some carries lost their effectiveness, while others, on the contrary, increased their win rate. In this blog, we will talk about the best carry heroes in Patch 7.40, their statistics, win rate, and strengths.

Tidehunter

Thanks to significant buffs, Tidehunter has become one of the most effective carry heroes in the new patch. Among the main improvements are increased damage from Gush and Anchor Smash, as well as improved talents at levels 10 and 20.

• Win rate: 64.37%
• Pick rate: 3.54%

The statistical data reflects average values across all ranks. It is worth noting that the hero is usually played in the offlane role, but due to significant buffs, he is also effective as a carry. In the new gameplay Patch 7.40b, Tidehunter was slightly nerfed, but the hero still remains very strong.

Juggernaut

Although Juggernaut was not buffed in the new patch, he remains one of the most effective carry heroes. The hero stands out for his consistency and, with the right item build, can provide a lot of value to his team.

Juggernaut has a high pick rate and is effective across all ranks.

Drow Ranger

Drow Ranger is a fairly easy hero to play and is effective across all ranks.

• Win rate: 55.58%

For Marci to be strong, she needs a high-quality support in the lane. The hero also does not require a large number of items to unlock her potential, as she is effective from the very beginning thanks to her abilities.
