#Dota 2 7.21d hero tier list full#

We’ve touched on the topic of breaking the molds for the current meta in our previous meta reviews and Luna is worth at least giving a shot. Should the hero be your go-to carry in all your pub games? Probably not, but if you can convince your team to provide a strong trilane early on and even potentially go to the lane with the enemy carry in it, she can be a nightmare to deal with.

That generally means she has to sacrifice her laning and early-game presence-by maxing both her passives, she can’t take full advantage of her teamfight ultimate, instead fully focusing on hitting creeps as efficiently as possible. Of all flash-farming heroes, Luna comes online in terms of her farming speed the fastest. She is a hero who really benefits from a trilane setup to secure her early farm and allow her to get a timely farming item, to then safely start jungling.

Luna is significantly less popular than we believe she should be, but she is quite successful in games she appears in. Crimson Guard, especially if purchased early, can win you a decent amount of time and will work wonders against the hero. Pick heroes with strong lane outpush and some disengagement or fight reset tools, stall until after you can safely repel Lycan attacks and then capitalize on late-midgame timings-there is a lull in Lycan’s power level when he needs to transition from a heavy pusher to an actual right-clicking carry and it is the easiest time to punish him. That includes both core and support heroes on your team. Showing any signs of greed against him will likely result in a loss-you will need to be able to outpush waves and defend your highground 15-20 minutes into the game. Lycan melts towers, so map control against this hero is extremely important. He might not dominate his lane as hard as Broodmother can, but his power spike with Helm of the Dominator and Necronomicon is very hard to deal with. There are certain similarities between Broodmother and Lycan in that regard, however current statistics shows that Lycan is a lot more reliable. One of the strongest pick in the current meta, Lycan is at his best when picked last or second-to-last. For that reason heroes like Troll Warlord and Phantom Assassin are rather lackluster-despite being very popular, these heroes win less than 50% of their games. You need heroes that can do something even without items. While many farm-oriented carry heroes are viable and can work really well in certain games, the majority of top tier carries are capable of mid-game pressure, with going late being the plan B. The current meta might be slower than a couple of patches ago, but it still rewards proactive play.
