Does anyone here play Dota 2? Who are your favorite heroes?

Used to, but I haven't really had anyone to play with recently. Stuck on Blade & Soul atm but would be cool to come back to Dota2 someday.

Definite favorite is Jakiro. While I could easily get countered, Jakiro is just so cool and I just loved using their abilities and playing the support role.

I also prefer to support rather than carry, although I'm not good at Jakiro specifically. I'm more into Ogre Magi, Witch Doctor, and Vengeful Spirit.

Ogre Magi I remember being hilarious 'cause of that RNG skill.

Yea I don't like being directly depended on, it's harder to tell if a support is screwing up then a carry if a game gets intense >w>; It's nice to have versatility and being the gateway to winning. Not that it's not fun eventually one-shotting the opponent, it just ends up a bit one-dimensional by then.

I think I have a good jist of how most of the heroes worked, at least once I see them again, so I could probably try playing everyone (I think I tried, don't recall which ones I was okay at however), but I'd probably be predictable and stuck to Jakiro half the time.

Legion Commander and Warlock are the heroes i play the most. I also like Crystal Maiden, Enchantress, Bounty Hunter ((Actual Support BH instead of the carry BH I always see people doing))

I play a lot of Ability Draft though, where heroes dont matter except for their stats and inherent abilities.

Not too good at Dota, I only play it when riot makes some OP stuff again. Like the patch right now. Phoenix is my main!

Phoenix mains unite! Nothing more satisfying than diving in, burn everyone and watch enemies try to break egg with no attack speed. >:3

Also, waiting for that beautiful phoenix ward to enter the steam market.

God, I haven't played some doto in forever.
Linda's my favourite hero, but I rarely play her. Most times it's probably Centaur or Viper. If it supports I like Omniknight and Lich, but I play them the least (I'm too forgetful & lazy to actively ward).

Dotes for life. Got the Battle Pass, it's pretty cool. Too bad the Winter Terrain lasts only two months.
My Dotabuff. Favorite hero is definitely Meepo. I always try to play him in the rare chance I'm going carry and they don't have an Earthshaker or Lich. I'm not even that good at micro, but it's damn fun to poof-bomb people into oblivion. Other than that, Vengeful Spirit (AKA "Die first but you're still relevant", that Aghs and passive is strong yo) and Jakiro (Brown Boots and wards all day).

I'll also have to jump on Phoenix is love train. Spirits = Bullet Time, and those Dive plays.

Oracle player here.
They can't know what I will do if I don't know what I will do.

This Saturday My little Dota is planning to have a inhouse match.
We should totally do a TFH team versus a Lawyer Friendly Equines team.

I'm an invoker picker. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how many gratuitous sunstrikes you land that don't do anything.

Scouting the fountain to see what the enemies starting items are is serious business.

So, I finally completed the Battle Pass challenge where I need to stun enemies for 90 seconds total. Feels good.

I've absolutely fallen in love with playing Legion Commander lately. But I was terrible as her when I started. So even though I'm actually a pretty competent player now, my winrate on her is... pretty abysmal. (Just over 30%, last I checked) I'm working on bringing that up, but there's a lot of ground to cover.
Other than that, Luna and Slark are my favorite carries. Crystal Maiden and Earthshaker are my favorite supports, with Earthshaker probably being my favorite hero in the whole game.
I generally try to play all roles in cycles, but I've found that I'm usually the most at home in the offlane. Legion Commander, Dark Seer, and Earthskaker, as examples, are just so much fun to play solo offlane and use that sweet, delicious solo exp to start the gank train. But... don't ask me to go position 5 support or mid. I can generally hold my own there, but I'm nothing special in mid, and I'm terrible at consistent support play. Warding, stacking, pulling, dewarding, smoke ganking, rotations... it all slips my mind far too often.

I used to play Dota daily, before burning out on the game. Damn game gets me too salty. Still like watching others play from time to time. May kick the dust off if people asked me, though.

I am a fan of the dota 2. My favorite hero is shadow demon though I don't actually specialize in a single hero but rather pick/choose any sort of random hero I feel like playing in a single match.

I finally did it too, just now. Thank Icefrog for Bane and 7 straight seconds of disable on 13 second cooldown, and another 5 seconds channeled.
