Lee “Duke” Ho-seong — $954,620

Dota 2: Top Hard Carries in 7.33c

dota 2 top hard carry

The top hard carry roles in Dota 2 possess remarkable effectiveness and adaptability, allowing players to adjust their strategies on the fly.

The 7.33 update in Dota 2 is a game-changing milestone that will leave a lasting impact. One of its key features is the introduction of universal heroes, characters without a primary attribute that can benefit from all stats. These versatile heroes possess remarkable effectiveness and adaptability, allowing players to adjust their strategies on the fly based on the game’s circumstances

With the emergence of universal heroes dominating the meta, hard carries face an arduous challenge. They must either possess the necessary tools to counter these formidable heroes or become universal heroes themselves. Furthermore, they must equip themselves to efficiently farm the expansive jungle to contribute to the team’s objectives. The top hard carries in Dota 2 excel in all of these aspects and more.

Magnus

Magnus is a perfect second-phase pick because he can excel in all three core roles. However, his glow-up into a universal hero paired with new items lets him excel as one of the top hard carries in Dota 2. As a hard carry, Magnus can opt for a selfish, pure-damage build with items like Harpoon, Mask of Madness, and Daedalus, to quickly finish multiple enemies caught in his Reverse Polarity.

Melee carries are usually kited with crowd control and slows, but Magnus can close the distance and isolate with key targets using Shockwave and Skewer. Furthermore, Magnus is happy to leave the lane early to flash farm in the jungle with Empower.

Bloodseeker


There are multiple reasons why Bloodseeker is the optimal safe pick for hard carries in this meta. For one, Bloodseeker’s built-in sustain permits him to stay in the lane longer in an otherwise difficult offlane match-up. Against aggressive supports like Techies and offlaners who rush Vanguard, the safe lane is at a stark disadvantage, and it’s quite common for hard carries to abandon their lane for the safety of the jungle. Not only does Bloodseeker shrug it off, but his Thirst ability also keeps many meta heroes in check, such as Slark, Clinkz, and Bounty Hunter.

Moreover, Bloodseeker is not the type of carry who camps in the jungle until they have sufficient items. An active Bloodseeker can threaten enemies with Rupture for a clean kill. As a bonus, Rupture counters several strong heroes, notably Pangolier and Timbersaw.

Slark

In a meta dominated by stacking stats, the top hard carry is someone who can use it against them. Slark’s signature ability, Essence Shift, is much more valuable because he can steal the enemy’s stats and convert them into his agility. While Slark may not farm as fast as other carries, he makes up for it with his kit that’s prime for hunting isolated targets. Slark can confidently invade enemy territory, especially since his ultimate alerts him when he’s detected.

Medusa

After Medusa’s consecutive series of drastic buffs, she’s become one of the most contested heroes in pro and pub play. Medusa received an odd rework where she begins the game with no strength stat and gains, meaning she’s entirely dependent on her Mana Shield to keep her alive. To compensate, Mana Shield now blocks 98% of incoming damage. Medusa is unkillable without any mana-burning heroes or items.

Medusa also naturally builds into Mana Style, which becomes tanky units due to Mana Shield. Add her ability to flash farm jungles and waves with Split Shot, and it’s no wonder why she’s one of the top hard carries in Dota 2.

Windranger

Among all the newly reintroduced universal heroes, Windranger is relishing it the most. She maintains a staggering win rate consistently above or near 60% in all core roles, with a support win rate surpassing 50%. Windranger isn’t heavily item dependent, only needing one or two Bracers to hit like a truck. Then, she can snowball her early advantage to with on-hit items like Maelstorm and Diffusal Blade to further empower her ultimate.

Windranger’s elusiveness from Windrun and her Shard keeps her safe from most enemies; especially meta picks like Spirit Breaker and Void Spirit. Her simple gameplay of tying an enemy and going to town with her ultimate works all too well, making her the top hard carry in Dota 2.

Warzone 2: The Best Weapons in Season 4

best weapons in Warzone 2

Looking to grind your way to some victories on Vondel? These are the best weapons in Warzone 2 Season 4 to get you there.

Warzone 2’s arsenal boasts various lethal weapons, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, catering to different playstyles, distances, and game modes. Every season shakes up the meta with new weapons and balance changes to older weapons. Although, more often than not, some weapons are functionally so good that they remain relevant throughout the game’s lifespan. 

Despite the much-needed nerfs to several popular choices, the best weapons in season 3 mostly resemble the previous seasons. Get re-oriented and discover which weapons will give you an upper hand in the intense battle royale Warzone 2.

TAQ-56 – Mid-Range Laser Beam

Excellent stats make or break a weapon in Call of Duty. Players naturally gravitate toward weapons with the greatest damage and the fastest TTK. While that’s great in the close engagements of multiplayer maps, most of Warzone 2’s gunfights happen in mid to long-range, where accuracy and recoil control matter. That’s why the (comparatively) slow-firing and consistent TAQ-56 is the reliable go-to weapon in the battle royale mode.

Furthermore, the TAQ-56 feels good to use with its ability to stay on target, especially with a mid-range scope. The weapon is amazing out of the box and becomes deadlier with range and stability attachments. For those who want more punch in their shots, a powerful alternative is the Cronen Squall.

Kastov-74u — Close-Quarters Beast

Whether you love it or overwhelmingly hate it, snipers are here to delete the competition. The best snipers can one-shot enemies with an explosive bullet attachment and a clean headshot, but most of the time, it will take two bullets. It’s best to pair a sniper with a lightning-quick ADS speed to finish off weak targets. Additionally, a gun that can duke it out in close quarters lets you cover both extreme ranges.

The Kastov-74u is the perfect sniper support since it has the damage and fire rate of an SMG, along with the range of an Assault Rifle. The gun is notorious for its strength in multiplayer maps, and bringing it along as a secondary weapon is always a strong option. The Lachmann Sub and PDSW-528 are extremely potent alternatives if you anticipate fights in point-blank ranges, like when contesting buildings.

Chimera — Best Assault Rifle

The Chimera is the best Assault Rifle in Warzone 2, especially after the heavy nerfs to the beloved ISO Hemlock. The Chimera is a versatile weapon that can fight from close quarters to mid-range, and with the right scope, it has a 360ms TTK beyond 55 meters. The gun also deals additional damage with further falloff when using the semi-auto mode. Whether as a primary or secondary gun, the Chimera stands out when compared to the rest of its class. Alternatively, the ISO Hemlock and Lachman-556 are solid choices for traditional Assault Rifles.

MCPR-300 — One-Shot Menace

In the right hands, the MCPR-300 is a one-shot killing machine. The sniper rifle deserves to be one of the best weapons in Warzone 2 because of its unmatched potential under ideal conditions. Aside from performing in the expected long range, the MCPR-300 comes in the clutch in shorter ranges due to its fast ADS and accuracy. The sniper rifle is lethal in both a quickscoper and marksman’s hands.

RPK — Consistently Meta

The RPK light machine gun has dominated the meta since Warzone 2’s launch. It offers everything you need to win mid-range fights: decent fire rate, high ammo count, and a potential 300ms TTK beyond 55 meters. Not to mention that the RPK is pinpoint accurate, and players who put time into the weapon can reliably beam enemies in mid-range. While some content creators find it boring and stale, the RPK is still one of the best weapons in season 3. If you’re looking for alternative light machine guns, other players swear by the faster TTK of the RAAL MG and the SAKIN MG38.

The Best ADC Champions in League of Legends

Looking for help on characters to play? Look no further than this guide to the best ADC champions currently in League of Legends

ADC champions in League of Legends are meant to be the team’s primary source of sustained damage by design. The team peels and creates space for ADCs in the early game to farm items and come online to close off the match. However, ADCs were in a rough spot as bruisers and assassins hunted and obliterated them throughout the game, making it brutally punishing and unrewarding to play the role.

After the steady stream of patches and buffs, ADCs have climbed to the top of the food chain—so much so, that matches are often decided by which team can enable their carry more. It’s currently the dominant era of the bot lane, and many angry ADC mains are out for revenge. Here’s a short list of the best ADC champions in League of Legends that you can use to truly carry the game.

Jhin

The many great changes to ADCs and the buff to on-hit items like Guinsoo’s Rageblade make rapid right-clickers more powerful. While Jhin doesn’t take advantage of the game breaking items, he’s equipped to kite and delete other AD carries, especially ones with short range. Jhin’s kit allows him to trade and burst with other ADCs, while keeping them at bay with his speed and control.

Jhin is particularly slippery because his core items, Stormrazor and Galeforce, synergize well with his bursty playstyle, while simultaneously adding to his ridiculous movement speed. Jhin is safe and reliable, making him one of the best ADC champions in League of Legends.

Seraphine


APCs (Ability-Power Carry) are also taking space within the bot lane. Mages like Ziggs, Veigar, and Seraphine scale well into the late game, so funneling gold to them by becoming the team’s carry makes more sense. Seraphine is a backlane menace once she gets going, assaulting enemies with empowered nukes, crowd control, while simultaneously empowering her allies. What makes Seraphine one of the best ADC champions in League of Legends is that she can significantly buff up her allies, creating more chaos in the frontline.

Additionally, her ultimate can consistently set-up a one-shot combo against fragile targets. Seraphine players can comfortably fit into the mid lane, APC, or support, and look good while doing so.

Jinx

Jinx simple but effective kit has always made her one of the best ADC champions in League of Legends. Jinx is largely unaffected by the crit item changes that gutted other ADCs. Her new build path opts for on-hit items like Kraken Slayer and Runaan’s Hurricane to proc using her minigun’s superior attack speed. Any ADC who can take advantage of the overturned items while keeping themselves at a safe distance are the kings and queens of this meta, and Jinx’s ability to engage and disengage with her passive and transforming weapon makes her a contested pick.

Karthus

Where other carries need to play it safe, Karthus’ sole game plan is to run in, dish out as much damage as possible, die, and then pop his ultimate. His all-or-nothing mentality is difficult to deal with during a teamfight, as a glass cannon with no sense of self-preservation means that his teammates can focus on the fight rather than peeling for him. While Karthus is certainly a niche pick with his low pick rate and absurdly high win rate, anyone can take advantage of this dominant champion with only a little time practicing his skillshot. Karthus is also a flexible pick because he can go mid, jungle, or as an APC in the bot lane.

Kog’Maw

Kog’Maw is the best ADC champion in League of Legends as the hybrid champion reaps multiple benefits from the broken items in the game. The new and improved Guinsoo’s Rageblade grants attack damage, ability power, attack speed, and on-hit effects that pair heavenly with Kog’Maw’s Bio-Arcane Barrage. Compared to other ADCs, he only needs that item to come online, and he can look to take objectives and pressure the enemy team.

Kog’Maw is the living embodiment of a glass cannon, as he shreds through the cast if his team can keep him protected. The buffed and reworked on-hit items massively benefitted the spitting void-spawn, and it shows in his high pick, ban, and win rate. All these positive changes make Kog’Maw feel like a broken champion.

Dota 2 Tips for Playing the New Map

dota 2 tips

New maps can be challenging to figure out and take time to adjust to: lucky for you we have 5 Dota 2 tips for playing the new map.

Dota 2’s 7.33 patch was a massive update to the game that added, changed, and reworked many key features. The most significant change is reworking the map to become wider, including more camps, and adding several smaller objectives teams should fight over. This new map dictated the dominant heroes of the meta, as the top-tier characters could take advantage of the new playing space.

The article will offer Dota 2 tips for playing the new map. Buckle up because there’s a lot to cover, and the sooner you’ll adapt, the higher you’ll climb up divisions.

Stack and Clear Neutrals Fast

An efficient tip for playing the new map in patch 7.33 is to take advantage of all the gold present in the map. Core heroes who can clear neutrals fast can reap the rewards of all the neutral camps on the map. Supports are also incentivized to stack for their carries since they’ll earn additional experience when the stack is cleared.

Cores should never run out of space to farm because of the expanded neutral camps near the sidelanes, especially since they can always teleport to the other side using Twin Gates. Another reason to go all out farming neutrals is that you’ll earn your team neutral item tokens, which they can use to complement their builds.

Secure Twin Gates


The new Twin Gates is the most important structure in Dota 2’s new map. Located on the side lanes, interacting with the Twin Gates lets you teleport to the other one across the map. This means that the sidelines aren’t isolated from one another anymore, as players can easily jump to the other lane for a quick gank. If you’re playing support, you should utilize the Twin Gates often enough that your opponents will fear overextending.

The Twin Gates also offers sneaky access to the Roshan pits and the underutilized camps on the edges of the map. Controlling the Twin Gates lets your team go for aggressive invades on an otherwise safe place to farm.

Contest the Secondary Objectives


Many players haven’t fully adapted to all the new objectives on the map. Coordinate your team to contest these objectives, and watch your advantages and net worth slowly increase. Fight for the Lotus Pool, steal the enemy’s Wisdom Rune, take over their Tormentor, and terrorize their neutral camp stacks so they lose out on precious gold and experience.

Of course, towers and Roshan should be prioritized, but capitalizing on these secondary objectives will make your game much smoother. Remember, if you’re trying to take Dota 2 seriously, it’s all about teamplay and working together.

Gank and Deathball


Old trends are coming back, as ganking early and often is more rewarding after patch 7.33. Players earn more gold by securing a kill or earning assists, and supports are encouraged to make aggressive rotations to jump-start their team’s economy. After an item or two, the midlaner and offlaner are also expected to look for kills, as it’s a much more efficient way to earn gold and experience.

Furthermore, aura items are also stronger and cheaper in Dota 2’s current meta. Low economy offlaners, especially those purchasing Guardian Greaves, provide a compelling reason for your team to group up, deathball, and force objectives together. The meta is undoubtedly more fun for spectators since games turn into back-to-back bloodbaths.

Set-Up Vision For Objectives

The wider map has teams scrambling for vision control. The problem is also exacerbated by the fewer sentries available in the shop, meaning that a failed deward is more punishing, especially when there are heroes with invisibility in the match. When it comes to playing around vision, you’ll have to anticipate what objectives or towers you’ll push so you can start warding the area.

For example, don’t put defensive wards if your team is the aggressor, and create vision on the sidelines when aiming for Roshan. Also, keep one Observer ward on the high ground during a fight. Your team’s superior will be the key to winning fights.

We hope you enjoyed these Dota 2 tips for playing the new map! Sign up for tournaments on Repeat.gg and put these strategies to the test.

Dota 2: Best Heroes per role in 7.33

best heroes in 7.33

Navigating who to use while playing Dota 2? These are hands down the best heroes in 7.33 based on their role.

Dota 2 is prone to massive, sweeping changes that completely changes how the game is played. Patch 7.33b overhauled the familiar map by expanding the playing field, changing the terrain, and adding new objectives to fight over. Alongside that is that a a big number of the cast has been moved to a new type called Universal hero, where they benefit equally from all stats.

There are many more changes that shakes up how players will interact with the game, and everyone is struggling right now on how to play and who to pick. Despite this experimental era, a few heroes have already rose to the top as the best heroes in 7.33. While everyone is still figuring out the meta, try to grab these heroes to get a headstart in Dota 2.

Crystal Maiden — Hard Support

Crystal Maiden is a support hero that provides excellent crowd control, mana regeneration, and nuking potential for her team. She has always been a consistently contested support, but the newest patch favors her strengths even more. Crystal Maiden is a lane bully and dominator who is able to easily secure first blood, especially with the help of the newest item, Blood Grenade. The Black King Bar nerfs is also a indirect buff to her abilities, letting her slow and immobilize without much of a challenge.

Additionally, you’ll earn more gold through kills and assist in the newest patch, and all Crystal Maiden needs is an ally and a target. When ganking isn’t going her way, she can secure jungle farm faster than other supports with her base abilities. She has always been a strong support and now she’s one of the best heroes in 7.33.

Alchemist — Hard Carry

Alchemist is a versatile hero that can play multiple roles in a team. But right now, he’s the one most contested picks as a carry due to the abundance of untapped gold in the map. Alchemist has the ability to farm gold more efficiently than any other hero using a combination of Acid Spray and Greevil’s Greed. Furthermore, the towering hero also has innate sustain with his ultimate, letting him flash farm the jungle with speed and safety.

Since Alchemist can farm faster, that means he could also join fights earlier than the opposing carry, making him an excellent pick for players who want to snowball early and dominate the game. Furthermore, a fed Alchemist can support his team through buying them Aghanim’s Scepter, a blessing to help his team keep-up with the gold accumulating machine. Alchemist is durable, brings a reliable stun, and a midgame beast, making him one of the best heroes in 7.33.

Void Spirit — Mid Lane

Out of all the new universal heroes, Void Spirit is the one taking full advantage of the change. The changes allow him to benefit from more items, letting him build Echo Sabre and Desolator to shred targets in a blink on an eye. Void Spirit’s ability to quickly initiate and deal burst damage makes him a formidable force in team fights. His mobility and crowd control abilities also make him difficult to catch or escape from, making him a great pick for players who enjoy playing aggressively. Additionally, his kit allows him to be versatile in his role, as he can play as a midlaner, offlaner, or even a roaming hero.

Void Spirit is slippery and benefits in this highly aggressive meta. The new right-click Void Spirit is incredibly scary to fight, and you can expect to see him dominate in most games.

Underlord — Offlane

Underlord is a tanky hero that excels at controlling the battlefield. His flash farming potential, excellent area denial, and versatile item path makes him one of the best heroes in 7.33. The new meta encourages constant ganks and teamfighting, and Underlord’s potential to carry all aura items benefits his team. Underlord doesn’t lose anytime rotating the map because Firestorm lets him clear creep waves and jungle camps effortlessly.

Underlord’s ultimate ability, Dark Rift, creates a two-way portal anywhere in the map. The enemy team is already at an crushing disadvantage because he can immediately respond to ganks (or call for backup) and wreck havoc with his abilities. Finally, Underlord is innately tanking, letting him run through the front lines with ease.

Bounty Hunter — Soft Support

A good Bounty Hunter is one of the best heroes in 7.33. He is a roaming hero that excels at disrupting the enemy team’s economy, provides unparalleled scouting through invisibility and Track, and can scale into a semi-carry when needed. Bounty Hunter is difficult to contested in this larger map, especially with less Sentry wards to go around. The enemy team is never safe because he could be prowling nearby, gathering valuable information for his team.

Bounty Hunter also received a significant buff to his invisibility, letting him stun enemies on-hit. Now Bounty Hunter is a dangerous assassin from early to late game, who can keep enemies Tracked while simultaneously making him team richer with every kill.

League of Legend Champions that Received the Biggest Buffs

0
biggest busts

The great thing about League of Legends is the huge character list always evolves: these are the champions that received the biggest buffs.

League of Legends features an extensive roster of champions with unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. As the game evolves, Riot Games make changes to maintain the game’s balance and keep the gameplay exciting. However, Riot Games has an infamous rotation to balance its roster to the extreme—whether by buffing until they become top picks in the competitive meta, or nerfing so hard that it’s detrimental to your team.

In this article, we will explore the League of Legends champions that have received the most significant buffs of all time in a single patch, skyrocketing their win rate and making them dominate the meta. While strong champions certainly change throughout the years, you can always expect Riot to create zeroes to heroes overnight.

Ryze

Ryze is the most reworked champion in the League of Legends roster. Riot Games just doesn’t know what to do with the spell-slinging mage, ever since he became a monster in patch v1.0.0.61. Ryze’s new passive Arcane Mastery reduces the cooldowns of his other spells after casting an ability.

This new passive worked incredibly well with his targeted spells, which received massive damage and quality-of-life buffs. This was also the patch where Spell Flux was reworked, and Ryze was given a new ultimate, making him an even bigger powerhouse. As a result of all these buffs, Ryze had too much power for too little skill.

Galio

Galio is traditionally played as a tanky bruiser who does respectable damage with his spells. Then patch 7.21 increased the AP scaling of his abilities, intending him to scale better for aggressive gameplay. However, Riot Games made his AP ratio scale too high, and it took virtually no time for everyone to abuse it.

AP Galio was a one-tapping machine that was also fairly durable due to his Shield of Durand, giving him AP damage reduction. Once Galio got an early lead, there was no place safe because of his ability to fly to his teammates. Galio felt impossible to deal with because of his all-in nature paired with one of League of Legends’ biggest buffs.

Lucian

Lucian became the most aggressive ADC after he received one of the biggest buffs on patch 4.12. The patch leaned into his strengths, buffing his Relentless Pursuit by reducing its cooldown every time his passive hit, doubling on champions. These buffs transformed Lucian into a hard-hitting slippery character that danced and dashed around the battlefield, bursting down enemies with his passive. Lucian’s oppressive presence was felt by casual players all the way to the competitive scene.

Shen

Shen received the biggest buffs in League of Legends history during patch 1.0.0.134, amping up all his abilities and turning him into the most contested competitive pick afterward. Shen could take any duel because of his resilience and regeneration, letting him split push and pressure the map uncontested.

Shen could teleport to his allies wherever they were on the map, which was so potent when top laners infrequently took the teleport summoner spell. Looking back, Shen certainly enjoyed those monumental buffs because he was a mainstay in the competitive scene for a long time afterward.

While the exclusive event is only accessible to the best teams, that doesn’t mean other skilled players can’t get a small bite of that pie. Dota 2 has a thriving esports scene, with numerous yearly tournaments. Skilled players can make a decent living by participating in these tournaments and winning cash prizes. 

Look for local tournaments, open invitationals, or online tournaments to start wrecking house in Esports tournaments. The lucky and most deserving players can get scouted by esports organizations, which can sign them up for contracts with salaries, benefits, and sponsorships.

Streaming and Content Creation

Dota 2 is one of the most-watched games on Twitch, so it may seem daunting to amass a following in a saturated space. But, streaming and content creation are legitimate ways to make money in Dota 2. Your unique voice and style may resonate with the right audience, primarily if you consistently produce videos or stream. As Dota 2 is complex and constantly changing, players always crave educational content and discussions about the evolving meta. Otherwise, entertaining videos are also welcome.

Coaching

Dota 2 players who are experienced and skilled can offer coaching services to other players who want to improve their gameplay. Coaches can charge an hourly rate for their services and work with players individually or in groups. The only barrier to entry is to achieve and remain at a competitive ranking in the leaderboards—bonus points if you’ve competed in tournaments for more credibility.

Coaches are expected to understand all roles deeply, or they can choose to specialize in a specific position. What separates a great coach from a mediocre one is that they can correctly identify problem areas on a case-by-case basis to give nuanced tips to their clients.

Trading and Selling In-Game Items

Dota 2 has a vast marketplace for in-game items, such as skins, cosmetics, and treasures. Players can trade and sell these items for real money on third-party websites or directly through Steam’s marketplace. Some rare items can fetch a hefty amount depending on their rarity and popularity, like the removed Alpine Stalker’s Set, which turns the raging Ursa into a cowboy.

Merchandising

Players skilled in arts and crafts can also make money in Dota 2 by creating and selling merchandise related to the game. This can include t-shirts, hats, keycaps, plushies and other items featuring Dota 2 logos or characters. Some players even create custom items based on their favorite heroes or in-game items, perfect for cosplays or displays. Merchandising is more of a traditional business when compared to the other methods on this list, but it still primarily caters to Dota 2 fans.
