Dota 2: The Worst Heroes Right Now On Patch 7.27

Date:

We’re breaking down the current worst Dota 2 heroes.


It’s been a little over a week since the new patch came out. Similar to most other big Dota 2 updates, this one is going to be divided into two parts. We already saw the first one that included the item changes, but we are yet to see the heroes one.

Nonetheless, we’ve decided to take a look at some of the least successful heroes in the last week. Keep it in mind that this list is subject to change once the hero updates are out.

IO

The least successful hero right now (in PUB games) is IO. This probably doesn’t come as a surprise because this has always been the hero with the lowest win rating. One of the main reasons for that is the way that the hero works.

In order for IO to be successful, he has to have someone to play with. Those two players need to have good synergy together in order for this to work, which makes everything even harder, especially in PUB games. As a result, the hero often doesn’t really do much, which reflects on his win rating.

However, that’s not the case when it comes down to pro games. There, IO has always been one of the most successful heroes, regardless of the patch.

Leshrac

The second hero on this list is Leshrac and this might be a little bit strange for some of you. Even though this hero’s most glamorous days are long gone, many Dota 2 players expected Leshrac to shine once more, especially after the changes to some of his core items.

Nonetheless, the reality is different. Instead of winning, the hero currently has the second-worst win/loss ratio, which is a clear sign that there is a problem,. Hopefully, the new patch will buff him a little bit so that he can become more popular.

Gyrocopter

This is another hero that used to be really popular back in the days. In fact, he was the go-to pick during the time when Leshrac was considered as the strongest hero in the game. However, after numerous nerfs throughout the years, Gyrocopter is now just a mere shadow of his former glory.

The good thing is that he is starting to slowly rise in popularity, which is great. Nonetheless, there is still a long way to go until he becomes one of the strongest carries in the game.

Outworld Devourer

This is one of the heroes that can literally win a game on his own once he gets enough items. However, it seems like the current meta is not really working in his favor, considering the fact that he is one of the worst heroes to play with.

Perhaps one of the main reasons why many the hero is in his current state is the fact that almost everyone buys a BKB nowadays. While it’s true that OD deals insane amounts of damage, he is pretty much useless whenever the target has magic immunity.

On top of that, OD is not really the fastest farmer in the game. Sure, he can get a Hand of Midas, however, he still can’t compete with the so-called “Flash Farmers”.

Lycan

Surprise, surprise, one of the most successful heroes in the previous patch has finally been brought down to his knees. Lycan was the go-to pick in almost every MMR bracket during 7.26. Apart from the fact that he farms really well, this hero is just insanely strong whenever he has his ultimate on. What’s more, Lycan’s core items are pretty cheap, which means that he becomes online faster in comparison to other heroes.

However, it seems like the nerfs of some of the top items from the previous patch was a little bit too much. From one of the strongest heroes, Lycan became one of the worst picks right now.

Storm Spirit

Another hero that seems to be kind of forgotten right now is Storm Spirit. This used to be one of the best and strongest mid laners in the game, especially a few years ago. Although he wasn’t as strong lately, we could still see the hero here and there, especially in certain situations.

Sadly, it seems like the newest patch has made his life significantly harder. After the changes to some of the core items that he goes for, Storm Spirit is now one of the heroes with the lowest win rating.

Unless IceFrog decides to buff him, the hero won’t be able to recover in this patch.
