Dota 2 Hero Tier List: Patch 7.36c (Crownfall Act 3, July 2024)

Dota 2's metagame is known for its rapid shifts due to the versatile nature of hero roles and the significant impact of items. Currently, diverse tournament metas are the norm, with only a few heroes being consistently unpicked.

At the highest levels of play, the game's outcome can be decided even before the first creep wave spawns, depending on the hero composition. A well-rounded lineup can make the difference between struggling to breach high ground and functioning as a cohesive unit.

This tier list focuses on the most picked heroes in professional play, highlighting those with notable win rates. It includes about 40 of the most popular and effective heroes, rather than every hero in the game.

Dota 2 Tier List

S-tier: Most Popular, Borderline Overpowered

These heroes dominate the current meta and are frequently seen in professional and high-ranked matches, provided they aren't banned.

- Sand King: Currently a top pick, partly due to his Sandshroud Facet and the powerful Burrowstrike;

- Warlock: Gaining popularity as a position for support, thanks to buffs to his abilities and high early-game tackiness;

- Abaddon: Consistent despite the meta shift, Abaddon is one of the few S and A-tier heroes with stable win rates across different builds;

- Underlord: Versatile and durable, Underlord can deal significant damage even in less prominent roles;

- Lich: Now strong position-five support, particularly with the Frostbound Facet for extra Chain Frost bounces;

- Wraith King: After Patch 7.36, Wraith King has become a formidable carry with his Spectral Blade Facet;

- Sven: Despite some kiting issues, Sven's Heavy Plate Facet helps mitigate damage, making him a resilient melee carry;

- Dark Seer: A challenging hero to balance, Dark Seer is currently thriving with the Heart of Battle Facet.
