With the new 7.37b patch, Dota 2 has updated the meta again, adding new changes to heroes, items, and the overall game dynamic. Players have already felt the impact of these changes, and some heroes have emerged as clear favourites. If you want to increase your rank and dominate the games, it is important to know which heroes are currently the strongest. In this article, we'll take a look at the best heroes in Patch 7.37b to help you win the upcoming games.

Carry

Lina
Just like in the last patch, Lina continues to hold her position as one of the most powerful magic carries. Her ability to farm quickly, high mobility, and ability to deal massive damage with her ultimatum ability Laguna Blade make her a formidable opponent in lane and late game.

Shadow Fiend
This hero is back on top thanks to her ability to deal massive damage with both magic and physical attacks. After the changes in the recent patch, Shadow Fiend has become even more dangerous, especially in the early game, where his presence in the lane can change the course of the game.

Windranger
Windranger's versatility allows her to be equally effective as a laner and as a support. In the new patch, her ability to deal damage through Focus Fire is ideal for quickly taking down enemies and key targets.

Nature's Prophet
This hero is becoming more and more popular due to its global presence on the map and ability to farm quickly, and we shouldn't forget about the bug from Hand of Midas that was actively used on this hero. Nature's Prophet can easily create pressure on enemy lines while remaining dangerous in combat thanks to its physical damage.

Weaver
A hero who shines with his survivability and mobility. His ability to quickly manoeuvre in combat and avoid enemies, as well as his ability to deal significant damage with Geminate Attack, make him one of the most difficult carries to kill. In patch 7.37b, the weaver received a buff to the Hivemind aspect, which increased the experience gained per attack from The Swarm ability. Now this hero feels very good in ranked games with an impressive 53.7% winrate.

Marci
Marci surprised many people with her rapid rise to one of the top carries in the game. She has powerful physical attacks and excellent mobility, which allows her to be effective in both the early and late stages of the game. Thanks to her unique abilities, Marci easily controls the battlefield and becomes a real threat to enemies.

Midlane

Monkey King
A hero who has become one of the strongest midlaners due to his flexibility and ability to quickly adapt to any conditions on the line. His Jingu Mastery skill, which received a buff in this patch like Primal Spring, allows him to accumulate an impressive amount of damage, which, combined with his high mobility, makes him a formidable opponent at all stages of the game.

Puck
This hero has always been a strong mid-ranger, and in Patch 7.37b he received a small boost to his innate ability. Puck is known for his mobility, space control, and ability to avoid enemy attacks with Phase Shift. His Dream Coil is an ideal tool for initiating team battles, making him an indispensable hero in many strategies.

Nature's Prophet
As in the lane position, Nature's Prophet is also effective in the midrange due to its ability to farm quickly and control the map. His global presence allows him to maintain pressure on enemies across the map, making him one of the best midlane builds in this patch.

Broodmother
Broodmother continues to be a nasty midrange opponent, especially if it is not countered early in the game. Its ability to create an army of spiders and control huge areas of the map makes it effective both in the lane phase and in the late game. Broodmother can easily dominate your opponent on the midrange and destroy towers quickly.

Sand King
Despite the fact that Sand King is traditionally played offline or as a sapper, it is also capable of performing effectively in the midrange. His Burrowstrike and Epicenter abilities allow him to initiate powerful fights, and his Sandstorm makes him an uncomfortable opponent in the lane phase, as he is difficult to catch or kick out of the lane.

Storm Spirit
He's always been one of the favourite heroes to play in midrange due to his explosive mobility and ability to initiate fights over long distances. Also, with patch 7.37b, a bug came into the game for a while, Storm Spirit's ult did not use mana when cast, making it possible to spam the ult on the spot using only 10 mana. But even after the fixes, this hero remains quite powerful.

Offlane

Sand King
This hero is one of the most popular offlane decks due to its ability to initiate powerful teamfights with Burrowstrike and Epicenter. His ability to survive on the line with Sandstorm makes him extremely effective in the early stages of the game, allowing him to gain momentum and control the battle.

Axe
Even after the nerfs, Axe remains a classic choice for offline, especially due to its ability to provoke enemies into attacking with Berserker's Call. His combination with Culling Blade allows him to quickly eliminate low-health enemies, making him a formidable hero at all stages of the game.

Visage
Visage has become a more popular offensive player due to his ability to control the battlefield and deal significant damage through his Familiar. His high stamina and ability to put significant pressure on enemies make him an important hero in teamfights and objective capture. The weak nerf to his innate ability has barely affected his overall strength and he is still a great choice.

Pangolier
With its incredible mobility and ability to control space with Rolling Thunder, Pangolier is a great choice for offline. His ability to move quickly across the map and deal damage to large groups of enemies makes him one of the most effective heroes in this patch.

Vengeful Spirit
Offline, Vengeful Spirit is known for her versatility and ability to change the course of battles with Nether Swap. Her Vengeance Aura also provides a significant boost to the team's physical attack, which is especially useful in teamfights and when destroying enemy objects.

Legion Commander
After a small nerf to Stonehall Plate, Legion Commander remains a strong offensive player thanks to her ability to survive in the lane and initiate duels with enemy heroes through Duel. Her Press the Attack allows her to clear allies from control and strengthen them, making her a powerful support for the team in any situation.

Soft Support

Ringmaster
The new hero has quickly become one of the most popular soft support characters due to his unique ability to control enemies and create chaos in battles. His ability to neutralise key enemy heroes and disrupt their plans makes him an ideal choice for players who like to actively influence the course of the game.

Bounty Hunter
As in the last patch, Bounty Hunter remains a strong soft support due to his ability to track enemies with Track and provide extra gold for his team. His invisibility and ability to initiate attacks quickly make him a formidable opponent, especially in team fights and during ganks.

Shadow Demon
This hero stands out for its ability to neutralise enemy heroes with Disruption, creating copies of enemies and using them against them. His combinations with other heroes allow Shadow Demon to be very effective in teamfights and protecting his allies from danger.

Tusk
Tusk is one of the most aggressive soft-supports, capable of creating opportunities for his team with the help of Snowball, which has received a buff that increases control time by 0.2 for each ally in the snowball. His ability to burst into the fray and take enemies by surprise makes him an ideal choice for those who like to actively participate in battles and create initiative.

Tinker
Although Tinker used to be a common midrange laner, in the latest patch, thanks to Repair Boots, he can also be an effective soft-support. Even the nerf didn't change the situation much. His ability to heal his allies quickly makes him a very important hero in the current meta.

Nyx Assassin
One of the best heroes to hunt down enemy mages and initiators. His ability to stay invisible with Vendetta and deal a powerful first attack makes him an indispensable support for a team looking to quickly take down key targets.

Hard Support

Omniknight
After the Healing Hammer aspect was nerfed, Omniknight remains one of the most popular hard support supports due to its ability to protect allies. Its magical and physical defences make it an ideal choice for teams that need extra stamina in lane and teamfights.

Abaddon
This hero has undergone significant changes in Patch 7.37b. Abaddon is an excellent hard support due to his ability to remove negative effects and heal allies with Aphotic Shield. His passive ability Borrowed Time makes him extremely resilient in combat and also allows him to be a reliable defender for his teammates.

Treant Protector
Provides powerful map control with its abilities Nature's Grasp and Living Armour. His ability to hide in trees with Nature's Guise makes him effective at stealthily controlling the map and protecting allies.

Ringmaster
Just like in the soft support role, Ringmaster remains effective in the hard support role. His ability to control enemies and disrupt their plans with his abilities makes him a great choice for teams that need additional control and area of effect in combat.

Clockwerk
Clockwerk stands out for its ability to initiate fights and create chaos in the enemy's ranks with Hookshot and Battery Assault. His high survivability and ability to isolate key enemies with Power Cogs make him an indispensable hero in a team that needs a reliable initiator and defender.

Tinker
As we said in the latest patch notes, Tinker can be used as a hard support due to his heal. His Rearm skill allows him to constantly cast his spells, which provides long-lasting pressure on the enemy and protection for the team.

Conclusion

Patch 7.37b has brought significant changes to the Dota 2 meta, affecting the choice of heroes for different roles. In the laner position, it is worth paying attention to such heroes as Lina, Shadow Fiend, and Marcy, who demonstrate a high level of efficiency. Midrange decks such as Monkey King, Puck, and Broodmother continue to dominate with their unique abilities and map control capabilities. Offliners, such as Sand King, Axe, and Pangolier, offer reliable options for initiating fights and ensuring control of the line. Soft supporters such as Ringmaster and Bounty Hunter provide active engagement and ganks, while hard supporters such as Omniknight and Abaddon offer strong defence and support for the team.
