I’ve already finished talking about every support, and now we move on to the Offlaners. If you didn’t already know, Offlane is Dota’s most varied role. There are tanks, damage dealers, split pushers, and more. You name it? You can probably have it in the Offlane. They also have the role of making space for their other cores and bullying the crap out of the enemy carry. As a beginner, you can pick pretty much any hero as an offlaner and kinda make it work. But the heroes in this series are just a great starting point.
Note that I will talk about certain Support heroes that I have already mentioned in the previous series, but in the interest of my own sanity, I won’t go super into detail in their kit. And I will only do this for heroes that have a somewhat substantial difference in gameplay, for example Pudge Core plays differently from Pudge Support.
For the experienced players watching this, if you feel I missed out on something, if you want to add to anything I mention, or if you want to share a tip, go ahead and leave it in the comments down below.
Note that I’m only going to be covering heroes in what I believe to be their natural roles. This will be a combination of Dotabuff, Dota2ProTracker, and my gut feel as a person who’s just played a lot of Dota.
Also take note that I’m not a high level player. I haven’t played a ranked match in literal years. I’ve just played a lot of Dota for fun, and have picked up enough about all the heroes to be able to understand the bare minimum of what they do. I will still share my opinions and takes though, because this is my video and I do what I want. Just remember to take them with a grain of salt.
I’ll mainly be talking about hero kits, that includes all of their abilities, aghanim’s upgrades (both scepter and shard), and my recommendations for Talents and Facets. I won’t mention item builds because these are very fickle, but I will mention if a hero is traditionally played with a certain item.
And while I said that I would be covering multiple heroes in separate roles, I’m only going to mention heroes that have a significant playstyle change when going from support to core. Spirit Breaker, for example, doesn’t really change whether you’re playing him as a support or as a core, even though you could viably play him in both Pos 4 and Pos 3.
I’m also going to assume you watched my previous series, so I won’t be covering every single skill from heroes that I already covered. If you haven’t, go watch it. Knowing what every hero does in general will help you out as a player.
