Abaddon

Starting our list is Abaddon. One of the easiest to play heroes while also being a terror in the lane.

Abaddon is in a good spot because he repackaged his old shield facet into an Aghanim's Shard, which he can skip as a core, but will enjoy getting from Tormentors. The Quickening gives him a free shield each time a hero dies, while significantly improving his item usage.

In the laning stage, Abaddon can run down enemy heroes with a level in Curse. Some players like to get an early Orb of Corrosion to further shut down enemies in the laning stage.

The big timing for the hero is when he gets Radiance. An unkillable carry who burns down all enemies in incredibly strong. Players can opt for Manta Style, Sange and Yasha, and Harpoon after that.

Abaddon is a strong laner, with a powerful early spike and reliable late game potential. His 53%+ win rate in all brackets is a testament to how viable he is at all levels of play.

Wraith King

Continuing our theme of melee heroes who buy Radiance is Wraith King. While not as aggressive in lane as Abaddon, he does bring significantly more burst-damage late game.

In the lane, one point in Wraith Fire blast is picked up to harass enemies and secure denies. Sometimes it can help get kills, but Wraith King isn't a very aggressive laner.

Players often take and max Bone Guard by level seven. It speeds up the hero's farm tremendously and allows him that fast Radiance. After that it's worth maxing Mortal Strike to bring down enemies as fast as possible.

Wraith King isn't very fast, so a Blink Dagger is mandatory after Radiance. We highly recommend a Black King Bar and Assault Cuirass to negate most damage received. Aghanim's Scepter is a good way to keep allies useful after death.

Wraith King is a simple (and kinda boring) hero to use without much variety in skill or item build. He is also incredibly durable and brings a ton of burst damage. Overall, his 54% win rate in lower pubs is well-deserved and makes him one of the best carry heroes to grind MMR in Dota 2 patch 7.39d.

Lifestealer

Ya know, I am starting to think that this list is less 'best carries to pick" and more " Who is the best Radiance buyer in Dota 2 patch 7.39d." To be fair, Radiance is a bonkers good item that reduces enemy physical damage and greatly improves the wielder's farming speed and damage.

Either way, Lifestealer continues the trend of this article. But there are some differences. Lifestealer can opt to get an Armlet to join fights early and deal solid right-click damage. Lifestealer can also join fights by Infesting a neutral creep and burning enemies with Radiance.

Compared to the other two choices, Lifestealer is significantly more active as a hero, and mechanically complex. Armlet toggling is an important skill to master, and using it well can make the hero nigh-unkillable.

But the hero comes with a free BKB, percentage based damage, a great tool to escape enemies and save allies. He's not the easiest hero to pick, but in the right hands, Lifestealer is one of the best carry heroes to grind MMR in Dota 2 patch 7.39d.
