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.

Sniper Role: Solo/Carry (Ranged) Primary Attribute: Agility Shrapnel Launches a ball of shrapnel that showers the targeted area in pellets. Enemies caught within it take damage and are slowed. Use shrapnel to farm creeps or to discourage enemies from walking into an area. This ability is often taken first since it's useful when you can’t get close enough with your main attack. Headshot Sniper HeadshotSniper increases his accuracy, giving him a chance to deal extra damage and briefly stop the movements of his enemies. This is a passive ability which gives you a 40% chance to momentarily stun an enemy. Obviously, the faster you attack, the more useful this ability becomes. Take Aim Sniper Take Aim Extends the attack range of Sniper's rifle. The more levels you take in this passive ability the longer the range of Sniper’s main attack will become. At level 2 it will allow you to out-range enemy towers. Assassinate Best Dota 2 heroesSniper locks onto a target enemy unit and, after 2 seconds, fires a devastating shot. This ability has a low cooldown and a huge cast range. Use it to finish off fleeing enemies or to lend aid in a fight when you are too far away to engage with your main attack. Sniper can be played as a solo or as a core. You can start off by taking Shrapnel to help you farm or, if you’re feeling brave, by getting a level in Headshot. Ultimately, you want to become a glass cannon, so focus on building up your ‘attack speed’ and ‘damage’. Sniper is also killed quite easily, so building items that will help you escape can be quite sensible. Take Assassinate as soon as you can and then use it to finish off fleeing foes. Suggested Items: Power Treads Dota 2 Power TreadsActivate Power Treads and switch them to green in order to gain a boost to your agility. Shadow Blade Dota 2 Shadow BladeActivating Shadow Blade will enable you to become invisible. This is great for escaping a fight or sneaking up on an enemy. It also increases your attack damage and attack speed. Dragon Lance Dota 2 Dragon LanceThis will increase your attack range even further, allowing you to stand far away from any danger while eroding your enemies’ health. Maelstrom Dota 2 MaelstromThis item is great for pushing lanes as it gives your attacks a chance to create a chain of lightning which bounces to other nearby enemies. It also upgrades your attack damage and attack speed. Aghanim’s Scepter Dota 2 Aghanim's ScepterThis will upgrade your Assassinate ability, allowing you to cast it on multiple heroes, causing critical damage. At this point you become extremely lethal.
