Most OP hero

Lifestealer Most op in pubs

I have played Lifestealer and yes he is pretty OP but he needs to stay too much in the jungle for him to get enough farm.Lycanthrope/ Juggernaut on the other hand dont need that much farm .The moment u get Skull Basher on Lycanthrope ur good to go .Same goes for Juggernaut when u get Aghanim's Scepter u can Omnislash their entire team to death unless ur team hasnt fed them that much .

Omnislash is easily countered by grouping up or by purchasing Ghost Scepter.

Yes.But still its harder to counter Omnislash than just staying back from a Lifestealer and killing him until he gets to you .

Sniper, Drow, Riki, Slark, huskar


Lights out team

Keeper of the Light dominate any lane he is put in. altough this requires you to rely on your team to carry. Drow Ranger pretty solid carry mid hero. Luna with BKB and you just glave them all in a team fight with her ulti up ofc.

Well, considering the bans I see in CM games, I'd say Nyx Assassin should be on the list for more powerful heroes, especially when he isn't countered with warding.

Lone Druid needs to stay longer and still much less IMBA than Lifestealer, and all that Lifestealer needs to contribute is an Armlet of Mordiggian.

On the topic of Lifestealer, I think it is fundamentally wrong for this hero to go to the jungle. He is so strong in lane either in a dual or tri-lane. A pseudo-BKB and a strong slow in the early game dominates.


You only need to try a bit harder to counter the heroes mentioned above. The only thing that's frustratingly hard to deal with is Phantom Lancer or a good KotL.

Play it in a trilane or dual safe lane and see how OP he is: by jungling you get a lot less experience and gold in the same amount of time (provided your supports know what they're doing), and Open Wounds is just a perfect initiating skill for lane ganks.

Returning on topic, Drow Ranger is the most op Hero in pubs followed by Riki and Sniper if the other doesn't want to pick some Dust of Appearance. Personally, though, I have had a good time stomping with a farmed carry (which means ~30 minutes into the game) with Faceless Void, Anti-Mage and Phantom Lancer; they can really turn a 5-15 match into 30-20 in the blink of an eye.
