The Dota 2 Patch 7.39d has arrived, making small but significant changes to the existing meta. The best heroes for each role were moved from carries to supports in the update, which didn’t completely change the game but made it the ideal time to change your picks and move up the MMR ladder.
Best Carries in 7.39d
Wraith King
Wraith King has a 54%+ win rate and is still a formidable opponent in team battles and farming, even with a minor nerf to Reincarnation’s slow (4s → 5s). He is still a top-tier PUB and pro pick because he is simple to play and lethal in any lineup.
Lifestealer
With his Rage immunity and scaling potential, Lifestealer, who is unbeaten in 7.39d, has a 52.28% win rate, excels against tanky lineups, and provides strong lane presence.
Juggernaut
Juggernaut has a strong 52.62% win rate, but there are no nerfs or buffs in this patch. He works well with aggressive supports, and his Omnislash is still a game-changer in battles.
Best Mid Heroes in 7.39d
Leshrac
Leshrac is a lane dominator who can snowball hard, as evidenced by his 51% win rate. He punishes passive mid players with constant push and AoE damage and is unaffected by this patch.
Necrophos
While Ghost Shroud’s radius was somewhat diminished, minor adjustments enhanced early-game regen. However, his 52.40% victory rate indicates that he is a nightmare in drawn-out battles.
Outworld Devourer
With a 51.49% win rate, OD is a devastating PUB pick, punishing low-magic-resist lineups with Sanity’s Eclipse.
Best Offlane Heroes in 7.39d
Legion Commander
With a 52.76% win rate, LC is still a PUB favorite. It excels at gaining lane control and snowballing through Duel victories.
Abaddon
Abaddon’s versatility across roles and 53%+ win rate keep him relevant despite a slight decline in his level 10 talent.
Dawnbreaker
Slight nerfs to Luminosity cooldown and Solar Guardian talent didn’t stop her from maintaining a 52.77% win rate and strong team-fight impact.
Best Support Heroes in 7.39d
Witch Doctor
Unchanged but thriving with a 53.43% win rate, WD excels at controlling fights with Paralyzing Cask and high-damage ultimates.
Silencer
Slightly less tanky due to base STR nerf, but his Global Silence remains game-winning. 52.59% win rate.
Lich
Still a safe, lane-winning support with a 52.82% win rate. Chain Frost is devastating in clustered fights.
Final Thoughts
Patch 7.39d strengthened the dominance of a few heroes in all roles, but it didn’t entirely reinvent the meta. Expect these selections to play a significant role in PUBs and professional games until the next big update, as The International 2025 is just one month away.
