Patch 7.35c has changed a lot on the meta in Dota 2, displacing the strongest heroes, and put new ones on the pedestal. Especially strongly these changes affected the central corridor, which is one of the most important in the game. Many heroes that everyone had forgotten about are back in the game and now have a great winrate. Today's selection will be about these heroes.
Zeus has always been known for his high magic damage and the fact that he has always brought a lot of impact to the game. Zeus is now being built through hand damage by buying Shard and Manta on him. This build does a huge amount of damage, doing lightning bolts from every attack. Manta complements this build well, as Shard also works on your illusions. The hero's winrate stays around 55%, and it's definitely good for a MMR boost.
The hero has reappeared in the meta, and currently has a huge winrate in the neighborhood of 56%. He has a large amount of magic damage, and also costs a lot of line. Can connect to fights early, and can be active even with a small number of slots. He's also great for newbies because he doesn't have complicated abilities.
One of the nastiest heroes both on the line and in the game. He is very often picked by boosters and smurfers and is used for quick wins, due to his huge damage on taverns, as well as his ability to finish the game solo. Bruda holds a staggering winrate in the neighborhood of 58%.
Another hero that can heavily dominate a line, and finish the game in 20 minutes. If this hero gains networth quickly, he is very hard to stop, which is why he is valued by newcomers as well as strong players. Great for MMR boosts, and the winrate stays around 53%
He is a good lineup hero, and always dominates his lineup against milishmen. He also becomes active with a small number of slots, and is good at scaling in Leut, giving competition to enemy kerries. He has a winrate of around 55% and is recommended to raise his ranking.
