Watson listed the best heroes for matchmaking

Alimzhan “watson” Islambekov recommends using Lone Druid to boost MMR in Dota 2, singling out this hero as the best.

The player shared this opinion on Twitch.

“Top 5 picks for ranked? Sven isn’t a rank-booster. If you want PTS, just last-pick Lone Druid. That’s the first hero. Second is Nature’s Prophet, Kez, and Phantom Lancer. And that’s basically it.”

According to Alimzhan “watson” Islambekov, if you can’t play Lone Druid, he recommends choosing Nature's Prophet, Kez, or Phantom Lancer. However, the player advises avoiding Sven, as he doesn’t consider this hero to be strong.

As a reminder, Denis “Larl” Sigitov previously named a popular hero that’s best avoided in the current meta.
