Dota 2’s metagame is evershifting. Different heroes emerge into prominence through the ebbs and flows of game-changing balance patches. This naturally brings the counter to those heroes into the meta, and the cycle goes on for the now 126-wide hero roster.
Carry heroes in Dota 2 are played in the Safelane. They are referred to as the Position One, which alludes to their topmost farm priority among the team. While this has traditionally meant an AFK farming playstyle for the better part of the game’s life, now the role is more active than ever, rewarding carry players with the awareness to contribute in early fights.
