The best hero in Dota 2 for climbing the ranks in the offlane

Slardar has the highest win rate across all skill levels in Dota 2. This is due to the fact that in patch 7.34e, Valve weakened most of the powerhouses, but did not touch this hero.

The denizen of the deep became sought after and strong after substantial nerfs to other heroes. For a long time, players did not pay attention to his Aghanims Scepter, yet with Slardar, there is a whopping 68% win rate. In fact, for successful play on this character, it is enough to have Echo Sabre, Blink Dagger, and Aghanims Scepter. These artifacts are sufficient to make him versatile in the mid game, as they provide initiation, damage, survivability, and control.
