Best Dota 2 Heroes In Patch 7.40
Patch 7.40 in Dota 2 brought a major hero rebalance and changed the current game meta. Changes were made to abilities and items, resulting in an updated list of the most effective heroes.
Top heroes of patch 7.40:
- Tidehunter — the hero received significant ability improvements and has the highest win rate of over 60% and a high pick rate of around 15%. The hero is best suited for offlane and carry roles.
- Drow Ranger — the hero received minor improvements and has solid stats with a 55.69% win rate and a 27.23% pick rate. The hero’s high effectiveness is due to the buff to Frost Arrows.
- Broodmother — the hero was already quite strong in the previous patch and also received ability improvements in this one. Currently, Broodmother has a win rate of around 55% and a pick rate of about 1%.
These Dota 2 heroes are currently the most effective and show the highest win rate statistics.
Besides the global leaders, there are several other heroes in the current meta that are also very strong:
- Meepo
- Juggernaut
- Largo
- Witch Doctor
- Omniknight
- Viper
Choosing these heroes with the right skills will also give you a high chance of winning.
In patch 7.40, the Dota 2 meta is still forming, but some heroes are already showing high win rates. This is important to consider if you aim to achieve more victories and increase your MMR. Updating your hero pool according to the game meta gives you better chances of winning.
