Dota 2 is a game that relies heavily on team coordination and team synergy. It’s even fair for some to say that the game can be decided in the drafting stage.

Some heroes fall off, some gain buffs to consider them broken, and some heroes will always get picked regardless of the meta. In the right hands, every hero’s broken but in the wrong hands, every hero will be nerfed.

Some players are hoping for a patch update before The Lima Major as certain heroes have been dominating both pubs and the DPC scene regardless of the player who is playing the hero.

Lina
