Team Liquid’s Offlaner Names the Best Hero in the Dota 2 Patch 7.41b Meta

Marcus “Ace” Hölgard considers Phantom Assassin a very promising hero for the offlaner role in the Dota 2 Patch 7.41b meta.

The player shared this opinion on YouTube.

"Critical damage at max level for Coup de Grace has increased from 400% to 450%. That’s a 50% increase at level 18. In the current meta, where everyone is rushing into each other and attacking, Phantom Assassin’s crits will simply obliterate supports and deal massive damage even to the toughest heroes. If you’re playing a carry, give Phantom Assassin a try in this patch. “She’s been waiting for this moment, and now is her time to shine.”

According to Marcus “Ace” Höldgard, the aforementioned hero looks promising in the new meta due to the buff to Coup de Grace’s critical damage at max level, which allows the hero to deal critical damage even to the most resilient characters, as well as play effectively against supports. The esports player also believes that the hero can perform very effectively in the carry position.

As a reminder, Gleb “y0nd” Vazhnov previously spoke out sharply against Valve following the release of Patch 7.41b for Dota 2.
