The 5 Worst Heroes in Dota 2 7.07
5) Monkey King
The king of the monkeys was always a difficult hero to execute in pubs. It’s short history has many twists and turns, from its inception as a broken pubstomper, its transformation into a Zai/Boboka led perma-bashing 4 position roamer and then eventually settling down into the Arteezy era Battlefury 1 position. As the ease of executing a right click carry dwindled throughout its sojourn in the post 7.00 lifecycle, Monkey King’s winrate dropped.
With the advent of 7.07, Monkey King fell to a measly 44.21% average winrate.
It seems the reduced base damage, lower Jingu damage and talents that don’t compensate for the loss till very late in the game has destroyed Monkey King’s viability. It’s still a decent situational pick, but definitely a weak hero this patch.

4) Tiny
Tiny is super interesting now – everyone is picking him because, hey, free trees! The hero has been reworked around team fighting. Tossing heroes on cliffs (which may or may not be patched soon), insane tower damage with a frankly broken Tiny-Io 2.0 combo, and not having to buy Aghs to be relevant late game are some great buffs. But the mathematics of it has slinked this hero down to a 38.07% winrate.
People are still figuring out how to build this new tiny, but so far the results are underwhelming. With a very difficult laning stage and talents that don’t start making sense till level 20, Tiny is definitely in the dumpster for now.

3) Windranger
I don’t know if it’s entirely fair to say Windranger is one of the worst heroes of the patch since it’s consistently been in this list for the last few patches, but 7.07 sinked this hero down even more. Sporting a tiny 46.24% winrate, it’s fair to say Icefrog didn’t bother picking up the buff hammer this time either.
The reworked Focus Fire now synergises with Windrun instead of Shackleshot, which means Windranger’s ultimate now pairs with an early game spell instead of a late game spell. The later the game goes, the more stuns matter and the less evasion/movement speed matters. Either way, Windranger’s winrate has fallen by almost 2.5% in the new patch and needs significant buffs to be relevant again.
Windranger Winrate Change from 7.06 to 7.07: -2.76%
2) Morphling
If there’s a hero that unnecessarily received the nerfhammer after 7.06, it’s this one. The fact that his ultimate makes you play another hero is what kills you most of the time.
Morphling was already a dreadfully difficult hero to execute in pubs, being a hard carry and all. I personally love the new changes and think the new Morph ultimate is a great mechanic to introduce, but it’ll take time for players to understand how to play with it. With a 37.54% average winrate, it’s going to be really difficult to close out games with this hero in 7.07. Avoid unless you’re messing around in turbo mode.

1) Pangolier, the worst hero in 7.07
Have you watched Singsing’s stream with him playing Pangolin Boy? All I’ve ever seen Pangoliers do in my pubs is press R and roll around hitting walls for five seconds.
Everything about Pangolier is useless, really. The spells are bad, the attributes are bad and the synergy of the two is also quite bad. I mean this is a “carry” with a 33.29% winrate in the safelane. Its overall winrate is the lowest in Dota 2 right now, at 37.54%. Pangolier is currently best played in the offlane, but why would you pick it when you can pick the all new god tier 7.07 King of All Beasts Beastmaster instead?

The Worst of the Heroes in Dota 2.
Most heroes can be evil in their own ways, but this thread is about heroes whose evil deeds truly stand out from most other heroes: heroes whose actions clearly cause chaos, and may or may not have influenced the war. You can make your own list or add to this one.
Let’s explore my list, shall we?
1. Chaos Knight: he basically is sent to hunt down and kill Ezalor (Keeper of the Light). Apparently, I didn’t know it was completely reasonable to slay millions of innocent people just to slay a demigod.
2. Ezalor, the Keeper of the Light: so he escapes the fundamental plane and causes chaos throughout the world, and now all he does is to creep on girls. He’s Creeper of the Light, and he’s a huge dick for abandoning his duties and causing Chaos Knight to slay millions of innocents while Ezalor pervs on girls – even Spectre. By the way, when he made the sun, he is mostly responsible for the mass-genocide of Balanar’s (Night Stalker’s) people.
3. Kaldr, the Ancient Apparition: he is pretty much the Albert Wesker of Dota 2. You don’t see him often, and most heroes don’t think he’s a big deal, but he has an ego 10 times the size of Pudge and his reason of fighting is to create a new world order where he is the almighty god. Don’t believe me? Read his responses.
4. Jah’rakal, the Troll Warlord: he is an IRL version of an internet troll. Gets butthurt that his peers abused him and he decided to go on a complete rampage, and now he fucks people up just because. “I kill my enemies first, my allies next.”
5. Pugna, the Oblivion: apparently he acts like a huge bitch during his childhood because he doesn’t get to be spoiled like the typical rich white girl in a high school, so he goes to spree kill his entire town, and now he bans. er, banishes people whenever he wants.
6. Chen, the Holy Knight: he is a homage to extremists of any religion. Anyone who does not follow Chen’s religion, Chen will smite them. Painfully.
7. Aiushtha, the Enchantress: similar to Chen, she is an extreme hippie. Anyone who does not follow Aiushtha’s way, she will enchant them to death.
8. Ostarion, the Skeleton King: similar to a controlling emperor, Ostarion the Skeleton King wishes to conquer the land to build up his empire. Dissimilar to a controlling emperor, Ostarion converts those he kills into slaves. Yeah. Kills people, then makes them his slaves.
9. Rotund’jere, the Necrolyte: there isn’t much to say about him, he basically starts as a corrupt priest who wants noble’s assets, then after catching the pox, he travels the world to infect the global population.
10. Shadow Demon: he pretty much puts the “tan” in Satan. Starts as an evil genie who grants wishes to people, Shadow Demon maipulates and corrupts them into creating an evil satanic cult to try to convert the entire world to worship the Satan. Luckily he gets bitch-slapped by Lucifer (Doom) and Nevermore (Shadow Fiend), but he will keep making the cult to try to take over the world. over and over and over again.
This list is not complete and will be updated.
