The 5 Most Difficult Dota 2 Heroes to Play

Dota 2 is one of the most difficult games. Each character has its characteristics and tasks. Some of the characters can be learned to control very quickly. However, others require a certain level of knowledge about the game mechanics and sufficient experience in the game itself. Let's imagine the five most difficult Dota 2 heroes with whom you should wait to start your career as a doter.

Invoker

Invoker is one of the three most difficult heroes in Dota for everyone. With three active elements and ten spells that can be used in the heat of battle, it scares most new players. However, Invoker specialists can perform almost any role in the game. It all depends on how players choose skills as they level up.

The elements themselves passively provide health regeneration, movement speed, or attack and damage. But when combined with the Invoke ability, certain combinations trigger potent spells.

Depending on the level of the elements in the combination, spells can deal different amounts of damage and turn-off effects. Players seeking an Invoker know that he can stun, slow down, disarm, move, burn mana, strengthen himself and his allies, summon units, and deal both gradual and pure explosive damage.

Skills:

• - Quas: Allows you to control the element of ice and gives + 2 strength per level, restoring health.
• - W.E.X.: allows you to control the element of lightning and gives +2 dexterity per level, increasing the speed of attack and movement.
• - EXORT: allows you to control the element of fire and gives +2 intelligence per level, increasing damage from attacks.
• - Invoke: combines elements of the elements to create a new spell.
• - Cold snap: draws heat from the enemy.
• - Ghost Walk combines the elements of ice and lightning, and the hero becomes invisible.
• - Tornado: releases a swift tornado that lifts enemies in its path into the air and then brings them down to the ground.
• - E.M.P.: creates a concentrated clot of energy that explodes, burning mana from all enemies in the area of action.
• - Alacrity: causes an ally to gain strength, increasing his attack speed and damage.
• - Chaos meteor: the hero throws a flaming meteorite from the sky, which rolls forward after falling and causes damage.
• - Sun strike: sends a ray of fierce energy from the sun to a given point, which burns all the enemies standing under it.
• - Forge spirit: summons one or more spirits that deal damage to enemy heroes.
• - Ice wall: creates an ice wall in front of the hero, the frost from which significantly slows down enemies and causes damage to them.
• - Deafening blast: releases a sound wave that causes damage to all wounded enemies and repels opponents, as well as imposing impotence on them.

Meepo

Mipo, upon reaching a certain level, can assemble a separate team of clones. With the suitable game, he and his army can destroy entire trains on their own. However, great power comes with great responsibility because if you don't save at least one clone from death, all the Mipos will die.

However, "mypods" can use the Dig ability with Aghanim Scepte, which heals the main character or his clones when they are in difficulty.

But even experienced players need help microcontrolling each unit, not to mention beginners. Such difficulties, combined with mistakes, can quickly lead to the death of the entire team.

Skills:

• - Earthbind — throws a net into the specified area, which puts a daze on enemies.
• - Poof — teleports to his clone.
• - Ransack — Each attack steals the enemy's health and heals the rest of the heroes' copies.
• - Divided We Stand — creates a copy of the hero.

Io

There is an opinion that it is difficult to play for Io because he relies heavily on his teammates. The hero cannot do much on his own and must remain attached to an ally in order to prove himself indeed.

It passively provides accelerated health and mana recovery, as well as increases attack speed and spell enhancement when Overcharge is activated. However, all this works as long as the Io is tied to an ally.

Yes, the ability of Io to move to any place on the map in conjunction with an ally provides good support and can help the team. But the problem lies in the positioning of the hero. It is fragile for a hero of strength and quickly dies when enemies target him.

Skills:

• - Tether — connects the hero with an allied creature, increasing the movement speed of both.
• - Spirits — summons five spirits that circle the hero, dealing damage to enemy creatures.
• - Overcharge — Increases your attack speed, deals increased spell damage, and gives additional health recovery.
• - Spirits In — brings spirits closer to the hero
• - Spirits Out — moves spirits away from the hero.
• - Relocate — teleports the hero and his associated ally to any point on the map.

Morphling

The Morphing can deal a lot of base damage, but it needs to sacrifice a lot of its health reserve. This is due to an attribute shift that converts his strength into additional dexterity. Conversely, he can turn dexterity back into strength when he finds himself in a difficult position.

The morph has two main problems. Firstly, if he is speechless, he cannot change the attribute. Secondly, if he burns all his mana, he won't be able to support Attribute Shift.

New players easily fall into the trap when they put all their strength into agility but leave themselves open to chain stuns and explosive damage. To learn the perfect balance between its attributes, you must spend a lot of time in the game.

Skills:

• - Waveform — the hero turns into liquid and rushes forward, dealing damage to all enemies in his path.
• - Adaptive Strike (Dexterity) — launches a stream of water at the enemy, causing damage to him.
• - Adaptive Strike (Force) — launches a stream of water at the enemy, stunningly pushing him back.
• - Attribute Shift (Dexterity) — changes its shape, turning power points into dexterity points.
• - Attribute Shift (Strength) — changes its shape, turning dexterity points into strength points.
• - Morph — changes its shape in the image of an enemy hero, gaining his basic abilities.

Earth Spirit

Earth Spirit requires the highest skill level among the four Spirit heroes. The player needs to be able to calculate the time of spells correctly. For the initiation to be successful, each of his abilities must hit the target perfectly.

Earth Spirit can slow down, stun, and damage an entire team of enemies if played correctly. But most often, you must calculate your chances of success and compare them with the chances of escaping elusive enemies. That's why the experts of Earth Spirit are so lovely to watch.

Skills:

• - Boulder smash — the hero hits the specified enemy or ally, pushing it in the direction he is looking.
• - Rolling boulder — the hero rolls into a boulder and rolls in the chosen direction, simultaneously stunning enemies and causing damage to them.
• - Geomagnetic grip — the hero installs a stone replica and then attracts it to himself. The enemies it hits take damage and will be speechless.
• - Stone remnant — creates its stone copy in the specified location.
• - Magnetize — magnetizes creatures in a small area around them, which causes them to take damage for several seconds.
