Top Dota 2 Heroes to Watch at TI 2023
The International, Dota 2’s biggest tournament, is finally here, and with it, a new hero meta. As fans tune in to watch the best players battle for the Aegis of Champions, we can expect certain hero picks to influence the meta for months to come.
Here are our top picks for the Dota 2 heroes that will leave a mark at TI 2023.
Core: Chaos Knight
We’re excited to see more of Chaos Knight in action after his recent buff to Chaos Strike. With improved win rates and the flexibility to play in multiple positions, Chaos Knight is sure to make an impact at TI.
Core: Faceless Void
Faceless Void is a consistent favorite at TI and is expected to shine once again. His powerful ultimate, Chronosphere, can completely change the course of a game. With recent nerfs to other carry heroes, Faceless Void has the opportunity to dominate.
Core: Wraith King
Wraith King’s recent buffs have put him in a strong position this year. With his ability to reincarnate and increased damage from summoned Skeletons, Wraith King is set to make his mark at TI 2023.
Mid: Pangolier
Pangolier has been a staple in the pro scene since his release and is expected to continue his dominance at TI. Despite a minor nerf, Pangolier’s synergies with items like Diffusal Blade make him a formidable mid laner.
Mid: Huskar
Huskar has the potential to make a comeback at TI. Recent buffs to his kit and high win rates in high-ranked games make him a threat in the hands of skilled players.
Offlane: Nature’s Prophet
Nature’s Prophet remains a popular choice for offlane players. With his ability to teleport anywhere on the map and solid stats, Nature’s Prophet is a strong pick for TI 2023.
Offlane: Brewmaster
Brewmaster’s impressive win rate and contested status at DreamLeague Season 21 make him a formidable offlaner at TI. Despite some nerfs, Brewmaster is expected to be a top pick in the offlane role.
Support: Ancient Apparition
Ancient Apparition’s Ice Blast ability is particularly effective in the current meta. With heroes becoming tankier, Ancient Apparition’s ability to prevent healing and deal significant damage will make him a valuable support at TI.
Support: Treant Protector
Treant Protector has been a standout support this season, and after an impressive performance at DreamLeague Season 21, he is sure to appear at TI. Despite some nerfs, Treant Protector’s high win rate makes him a popular choice for pro players.
Support: Earth Spirit
Earth Spirit’s recent changes have boosted his win rate, making him a go-to pick for pro supports. Despite some nerfs, Earth Spirit’s versatility and powerful abilities will make him a force to be reckoned with at TI.
