If you are just starting your immersion in the world of MOBA from Valve, you are probably interested in light heroes of Dota 2. They will help you develop with a minimum amount of effort, providing a good impact for other teammates. What could be worse than a crayfish in the mid lane, or a crooked support? Only cancer with inflated self-esteem.
We offer to get acquainted with a dozen cool, and at the same time not particularly demanding fighters, selected solely on the basis of our modest experience. The characters are arranged in alphabetical order, so there is no bias.
Bloodseeker
The top light heroes of Dota 2 are opened by a good Carry/Middler with a powerful passive heal and high speed. Thanks to the Bloodrage skill, the performance can be further improved, and this will allow you to successfully gank hedobitks and help core players when necessary.
Blood Rite also causes confusion in the area, imposing silence. The skill is nasty and greatly ruins the enemy’s strategy in the later stages. And in the forest it will be useful against local creeps. But the height of impudence — throw Rupture at the enemy, which provokes a loss of health at any distance from Bloodseeker.
Bounty Hunter
This character has many roles. But he is often used as an active support for Hard and a ganker for single underdogs. Thanks to the Jinada skill, the hero is able to inflict serious damage, simultaneously stealing some gold into his pocket. Hence, in fact, the name. Good already in the early stages of the game, when the Carries are just warming up.
If you pump up Shadow Walk, you can engage in assassination from under invisibility, or scout enemy territory to obtain important strategic information. Take Wards with you along the way and you will become an indispensable member of the team.
Clinkz
The lightest Dota 2 heroes can also be mid-laners, like this skeleton in armor. By the way, also with invisibility and strong damage from the skill. Klinkz's advantage — versatility and range. Thanks to Burning Barrage, it's powerful enough to shoot through a crowd of enemies coming one after another, and in combination with Searing Arrows, the damage increases even more.
Desolator will help with this to reduce armor and Orchid Malevolence, which allows you to ignore enemy debuffs. The ult is also good, it significantly saves in a critical situation by eating a linear mob. The stronger the creeps — the higher the bonus.
Huskar
Another center, effective even with a small amount of HP. In critical situations, he simply pushes enemies away from him using Inner Fire. An additionally thrown Burning Spear will also set the enemy on fire, but at the same time Huskar himself burns, so be careful with this moment. Another thing is that Burning Spear stacks, and therefore you can burn to the fullest if necessary. Of course, if you have support nearby.
Top skill — Berserker's Blood, which makes the hero even more ferocious at low health: the lower the HP, the stronger the attack speed and regeneration. Add Armlet of Mordiggian to this feature and you will greatly boost your performance, increasing your survivability.
Lifestealer
Easy heroes in Dota 2 for beginners are not always attractive. However, this handsome Kerry is no short of survival. Moreover, there are plenty of ways to restore a character’s health. At least Feast, which works great against thick creeps and enemies. When Rage is activated, the speed also increases, and at the same time, any magic is completely ignored.
If you mix Rage with Town Portal Scroll, you can get very deep behind enemy lines without fear of getting hit in the neck. And when it completely crushes — press the Infest ult and hide inside an ally, literally.
Phantom Assassin
The Phantom is loved for its high DPS and ease of learning. Her destiny — an easy line of defense, and the task is to quickly farm Desolator and Black King Bar level items, which reduce armor and increase damage in general. If the situation is passive, it is enough to purchase Battle Fury to speed up farming. There is never too much gold.
In the early stages, Stiffing Dagger helps a lot, finishing off long-range creeps, and Phantom Strike will allow you to instantly teleport over a short distance, finishing off the enemy with increased speed. This lady also farms forest without any problems. Moreover, there is Blur to increase dodge.
Riki
Ricky — all-rounder for mid and safe lane. When learning skills correctly, it can be very painful. But even a beginner can easily cope with the satyr. The main thing — manage to go behind your back and then hit Cloak and Dagger. Remember that any agility item increases damage.
Tricks of The Trade also grants invisibility and multiple backstabs. Yes, as you understand, Ricky — she's still a rat. This is further reminded by the teleport behind Blink Strike. It also helps to retreat in case of impending danger. The best item for a hero — Diffusal Blade, because it perfectly boosts agility and slows down the enemy's mana regeneration, simply burning it out.
Sniper
If there are the best heroes for the Dota 2 light lane for beginners, then this is one of them. It hits far and painfully, and massively too. Shrapnel's ability will not only hit, but also slow everyone in the area of effect. This will help you more actively farm gold from your surplus and stun your opponent. Headshot also slows down the enemy, and Take Aim significantly increases the firing range in passive mode.
Sniper — the longest-ranged hero in Dota, therefore he terribly infuriates those around him in capable hands. It's just cardboard, but for this purpose Hurricane Pike and Shadow Blade are provided from items. Just to have time to use the Assassinate ult, which works like Shrapnel at maximum speed.
Troll Warlord
A unique character of his kind, capable of switching from melee to ranged attacks at will without any damage or penalties. In a head-on collision, Berserker's Rage saves, accelerating damage and pinning the enemy. And then according to the situation:
-
Whirling Axes (BB) will prevent you from falling down quickly in melee;
-
Whirling Axes (DB) will quickly catch up with a fleeing target.
Passive Fervor will boost damage until the hero replaces the victim. Additionally, buy a Skull Basher to prevent your opponent from coming to his senses and running away.
Weaver
This hero for the Dota 2 light lane is literally created to create chaos on the field. A cool Kerry with high mobility, who infuriates everyone with his beetles (The Swarm), which reduces armor. To fight them off — you will have to waste time, but this only benefits you and gives you the opportunity to get closer. In addition, they are also scouting the territory.
Thanks to Shukuchi, you can go into invisibility with a strong boost in movement speed. At the same time, the character deals damage to everyone he passes through. Considering the quick reload of the skill, you will be in invisibility constantly, successfully clearing the line.
