Dota 2 Players Proclaim a Challenging Hero as ‘Unstoppable’—Given the Expert Touch

The Power of Dota 2’s Invoker Hero

In Dota 2, there is a wide variety of heroes each with their own unique playstyles. Among them is Invoker, a hero known for his complexity. Unlike other heroes, Invoker has ten abilities that can be created using three spell components—Quas, Wex, and Exort.

While Invoker may not be for the faint-hearted, many in the community agree that he is the most enjoyable and unstoppable hero when in the hands of a master.

The reason for this is that Invoker is capable of doing almost anything in the game, including damage, disarming, slowing, stunning, summoning minions, going invisible, and burning mana.

Top-tier players like Miracle, Sumail, and Topson have demonstrated how Invoker can single-handedly turn the tide of a game and carry their team to victory.

This is also true in public matches, but only for those who have mastered the hero themselves. Invoker’s win rate ranges from 46 percent to 48 percent depending on the skill bracket, as he is often played by those who are still learning. However, those who have mastered Invoker boast impressive win rates and kill, death, and assist ratios.

While players mentioned other hard-to-master heroes like Earth Spirit, Ember Spirit, Puck, and Rubick as pub stomping choices, Invoker remained the top choice among them all.

Currently, Invoker is a meta pick with a 51.7 percent win rate at the highest level. The go-to build for Invoker remains the same: Midas, Boots of Travel, Black King Bar, Blink Dagger, Aghanim’s Shard, Scythe of Vyse, Spirit Vessel, and now Meteor Hammer.

Therefore, Invoker enthusiasts should not hesitate to pick him if they wish to dominate Dota 2 pubs.
