The Top 10 Most Important Heroes In Competitive Dota 2

Throughout the years of competitive Dota 2, heroes have waxed and waned in relevance as the metagame changed. But a select few have held a significance to the game far beyond just one or two metas.
In honor of those meta-defying heroes, we’re counting down the Top 10 Most Important Heroes in Dota 2 History.

Before we jump into the list, here’s a brief breakdown of the criteria we used to create it:

Meta Significance: Did this hero hold importance to various metas, and/or shape multiple metas around themselves? Consideration given to pick/ban rates all time and at The Internationals.

Role Significance: Did this hero define how one or multiple roles were/are played historically? Did the hero change or empower a given role in a new way, or change the way the role is thought about?

Longevity: Was this hero relevant for a long period of time or for multiple years across Dota 2's history?

Career Significance and Other Factors: Some weight given to the significance of a given hero in defining the careers of professional players and the way the professional scene of Dota 2 is perceived or has developed.

Note: All statistics are as of Nov. 20, 2017.
