Every Offlaner in Dota 2 Explained - Part 2

Note that I will talk about certain Support heroes that I have already mentioned in the previous series, but in the interest of my own sanity, I won’t go super into detail in their kit. And I will only do this for heroes that have a somewhat substantial difference in gameplay, for example Pudge Core plays differently from Pudge Support.

For the experienced players watching this, if you feel I missed out on something, if you want to add to anything I mention, or if you want to share a tip, go ahead and leave it in the comments down below.

Note that I’m only going to be covering heroes in what I believe to be their natural roles. This will be a combination of Dotabuff, Dota2ProTracker, and my gut feel as a person who’s just played a lot of Dota.

Also take note that I’m not a high level player. I haven’t played a ranked match in literal years. I’ve just played a lot of Dota for fun, and have picked up enough about all the heroes to be able to understand the bare minimum of what they do. I will still share my opinions and takes though, because this is my video and I do what I want. Just remember to take them with a grain of salt.

I’ll mainly be talking about hero kits, that includes all of their abilities, aghanim’s upgrades (both scepter and shard), and my recommendations for Talents and Facets. I won’t mention item builds because these are very fickle, but I will mention if a hero is traditionally played with a certain item.

And while I said that I would be covering multiple heroes in separate roles, I’m only going to mention heroes that have a significant playstyle change when going from support to core. Spirit Breaker, for example, doesn’t really change whether you’re playing him as a support or as a core, even though you could viably play him in both Pos 4 and Pos 3.

I’m also going to assume you watched my previous series, so I won’t be covering every single skill from heroes that I already covered. If you haven’t, go watch it. Knowing what every hero does in general will help you out as a player.
