How the Dota 2 meta changed after the release of Kez: best heroes

After the release of Act 4 of Crownfall, many hoped for a gameplay patch for Dota 2, but it never happened. However, a new hero, Kez, appeared in the game, who is actively picked in matchmaking but still hasn't had a significant impact on the meta.

Best Carry

The best hero for the carry position is Shadow Fiend, who has proven to be highly effective in pubs. Even Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, a two-time world champion, noted that the hero can destroy the enemy throne in seconds and is currently one of the most powerful characters.

Best Midlaner

For the mid lane, Earth Spirit stands out as the best, with an impressive win rate of 55.2%. He has proven to be very effective in matchmaking and is often picked. His main competitor is Sand King, who is just slightly less effective.

Best Offlaner

Three heroes have proven to be strong offlaners in the current patch: Enigma, Sand King, and Phoenix, all of which have the same win rate of 54.6%. These heroes have solidified their place in matchmaking with strong performance.

Best Position 4 Support

Shadow Demon leads as the best position 4 support, also favored by Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov, who frequently picks him in matchmaking. Bounty Hunter has also proven to be effective and remains quite popular among supports.

Best Support

Ogre Magi has shown himself to be the best support in Dota 2 matchmaking, maintaining a win rate of 54.8%. Additionally, Bounty Hunter is also effective in the fifth position and is drafted frequently in pubs.

It's worth mentioning that earlier, Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev made a bold statement about Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen and the new hero, Kez.
