Dota 2 best heroes for new players

Although nearly all professional gamers across the globe are familiar with Dota 2, there are still many new beginners to the game. They can be regarded as newbies because they do not know how to choose a right hero for training. Newcomers are always panicked when facing enemy heroes; they don’t know what to do, where and how to use special abilities or even ultimate skills.

Therefore it is better to take a hero with one or two passive abilities for training. In this case, cooldowns and lack of mana will become irrelevant since some attack percentage will automatically launch attacks upon their activation by various abilities. If possible, select a hero that does not control other units in order to simplify management.

Here are the Top 5 Dota 2 heroes for newcomers:

Drow Ranger

She is an agility attributed character who has got 2 out of her four abilities into passive – Precision Aura and Marksmanship (ultimate). So you just need control only Frost Arrows and Gust. Moreover, you can also toggle autocast on Frost Arrows. Having an attack range of 625 makes it possible for her to initiate team fights (thanks to Gust) as well as escape in case she needs better survivability.

Luna

Luna is another agility-based hero like Drow Ranger who has two passive abilities – Moon Glaive and Lunar Blessing. With a relatively short attack range of 330, her attack bounces through each enemy hitting up to four targets if fully upgraded which could include heroes or buildings thanks to Moon Glaive. This helps in pushing creep waves, farming and during team fights.

Sniper

This is an intelligence-based hard carry –agility hero with two passive abilities namely Headshot and Take Aim. He has possibly the highest attack range compared all other Dota 2 heroes standing at maximum value of up-to 810 hp per unit targeted by his attacking arrow while Take Aim is on maximum rank. That is why he can deal a lot of damage to heroes and creeps before they come close.

Viper

Viper is one of the three agility-based carry heroes having 2 passive abilities just like Drow and Sniper. Viper has an attack range of 575. Nethertoxin, his first passive ability increases the damage done by Viper based on an enemy’s health percentage. While Corrosive Skin, his second passive ability on max level provides him with 25% magic resistance, slows anyone who attacks him by 25% as well as does 25 dps.

Death Prophet

This intelligence hero has got a base attack range of 600 which aids her in initiating among allied heroes while during team fights. Witchcraft is the only passive skill she possesses but it helps Krobelus to move faster by increasing her movement speed by 12%. It also affects other abilities or ultimates since this passive skill reduces cooldowns and mana consumption.

In conclusion these are good choices for beginners because their most skills are in passive mode making game easier to manage thus allowing you to concentrate on Dota2 other aspects.
