What are the best Dota 2 heroes for beginners? There are, at the time of writing, 115 heroes in Dota 2, all of them appealing and exciting in their own unique ways. But choosing the right one, or the right combination of them for your team, can often be the difference between winning and losing, or at the very least, between struggling and cruising. As a beginner, this can make Dota 2 incredibly challenging, especially considering the lack of guidance the game offers you. All of the heroes play a very specific role in battle. Some of them can be played in multiple roles, sometimes even within the same game. To do well at Dota 2 it is important to understand what these roles are and how they interact with each other. But it is equally as important to realise that a hero’s role should inform how you play them and the items you purchase. Although every hero is a viable pick in Dota 2, but i think these are the best Dota 2 heroes for beginners to win games consistently over time.

Axe Role: Jungler (Melee) Primary Attribute: Strength Berserker’s Call Axe Berserker's Call Axe taunts nearby enemy units, forcing them to attack him, while he gains bonus armor. Use this to force enemies to attack you, allowing your allies to freely kill them while you tank the damage. Battle Hunger Axe Battle Hunger Enrages an enemy unit, causing it to be slowed and take damage over time until it kills another unit or the duration ends. This can be used to finish off a fleeing foe, or to kill a particularly tanky jungle creep. Counter Helix Axe Counter Helix When attacked, Axe performs a helix counter attack, dealing damage to all nearby enemies. The more enemies there are attacking you, the more often this ability will cast itself. When combined with Berserker’s Call it turns you into a swirling mass of death. Culling Blade Best Dota 2 heroes Axe spots a weakness and strikes, instantly killing an enemy unit with low health, or dealing moderate damage otherwise. When an enemy hero is killed with Culling Blade, its cooldown is reset. Use this on any enemy with very low health to quickly finish them off and gain a movement speed bonus. Jungling is inadvisable for new players, but if you find yourself needing to jungle, Axe is by far the easiest hero to do it with. Always at the heart of the combat, Axe’s Counter Helix gets more useful the more enemies are attacking him. You ideally want to be as aggressive as possible, within reason. Level up Counter Helix to ensure you can quickly kill jungle creeps but take a level in both Berserker’s Call and Battle Hunger. At level 6 take Culling Blade but try to stay in the jungle until you have at least your boots and your Blink Dagger. At this point, use the Blink Dagger to teleport into a group of enemy heroes and then cast Berserker’s Call. Sit back and watch the destruction unfold. Suggested Items: Power Treads Dota 2 Power Treads Activate Power Treads and switch them to red in order to gain a boost to your strength. Blink Dagger Dota 2 Blink Dagger There is no point picking Axe unless you get this item. Use it to blink into fights and then follow it with Berserker’s Call to force enemies to fight you. Blade Mail Dota 2 Blade Mail This gives a great armor and damage boost, but its real use comes when you activate it, causing all physical enemy attacks to be reflected back onto them. Use it after casting Berserker’s Call. Vanguard Dota 2 Vanguard Vanguard gives you a flat boost to your HP and health regeneration, allowing you to survive your suicidal leaps into the crowds of enemies. Assault Cuirass Dota 2 Assault Cuirass Yet more armor and attack speed will allow you to survive longer and kill quicker. This also provides an aura, granting the same benefits to nearby allies.
