Best Midlaners In Dota 2 Patch 7.40

With the release of the new Dota 2 patch, not only was a new hero added, but the balance also changed significantly. Heroes received adjustments to their abilities and attributes, and items were also updated, which overall affected the current game meta. As a result, the list of the most effective heroes has been updated. In this blog, we will talk about the best mid laners in patch 7.40, their statistics, what makes them strong, and their win rate.

Viper

Viper has always been an effective hero. The hero did not receive significant improvements in the new patch, but thanks to the Poison Attack mana cost being decreased from 22 to 20, he can deal more damage.

• Win rate: 55.85%
• Pick rate: 10.57%

Viper is a very simple and versatile hero, which makes him strong across all ranks.

Broodmother

Broodmother is one of the most versatile heroes in the new patch. The hero shows high win rate statistics when played as a midlaner, carry, and offlaner. Among the main improvements are an increase in Attack Bonus and an improved level 10 talent.

• Win rate: 57.06%
• Pick rate: 3.11%

The hero is strongest specifically in the mid lane, as this allows her to quickly gain levels and the necessary items. Broodmother is quite a difficult hero, but with the right skills you will be able to easily destroy opponents.

Visage

Visage has also made it into the list of the best midlaners in the new patch. Among the main improvements are an increase in movement speed from Grave Chill, Familiars now have their own ability to independently teleport to Visage, and the third Familiar obtained from the level 25 talent is now automatically added to the existing control group after creation. This allows for better control of Familiars, which in turn enables more effective gameplay.

• Win rate: 59.46%
• Pick rate: 1.25%

Thanks to the improvements, Visage has become a bit easier to play, but still requires fairly high skill.

Lycan

Another summoner has made it into the list of the best midlaners in patch 7.40 — Lycan. The hero did not receive ability improvements, but thanks to the rework of some items, his win rate has increased. Lycan also performs very well against a large number of mid heroes, which makes him a good choice for this role.

• Win rate: 56.54%
• Pick rate: 00.13%

The hero is more often played at higher ranks, but if you have the required skills, you will easily destroy opponents at any rank.

Meepo

Meepo did not receive improvements in the new patch, but as in the case of Lycan, thanks to the rework of some items, his win rate has increased. The hero’s strength depends on the speed of his execution — the faster you obtain the necessary items, the sooner you will start destroying opponents.

• Win rate: 56.15%
• Pick rate: 5.71%

Meepo is a difficult hero and requires a lot of practice to learn how to play him well.
