Rating of the best carries in the current meta

During a personal Twitch stream, Alexander 'Nix' Levin ranked the top carry heroes in the current Dota 2 meta. 

He stated that if he were to rank the heroes, he would place Windranger at the top, followed by Dragon Knight in second place, with Mirana coming next. He noted that the effectiveness of Dragon Knight could vary depending on the off-laner’s pick. For instance, if the off-laner plays melee heroes, Dragon Knight might be weaker in the laning phase compared to Mirana, who could potentially outplay opponents.

Levin also mentioned that Lina is a strong hero but is easier to counter. He emphasised that with heroes like Windranger, the specific opponents you face are less of a concern. In contrast, Lina requires careful positioning to avoid being overwhelmed by certain heroes like Slardar, which can make the game more challenging.

Windranger, Mirana, and Dragon Knight are among the top five heroes in terms of pick frequency at The International 2024.
