Tier list What the tiers mean Good to know
The strongest heroes on patch 7.41f are Phantom Lancer and Juggernaut at carry, Invoker and Outworld Destroyer in mid, Enigma in the offlane, Nyx Assassin at position 4 and Lich at position 5. Below, the top heroes for each position are ranked S to D – use the buttons to show one position. A hero can appear in more than one position.
How we ranked them: We started from Dota2ProTips' per-position tiers (STRATZ data, Divine and Immortal) and checked each hero's overall Divine+Immortal win rate on OpenDota; a hero stays in S or A only if both are strong, otherwise it moves down a tier – a summary of current statistics, not personal opinion.

What the tiers mean
S tier The strongest picks this patch – high win rates and rated top by every source we used.
A tier Strong, dependable picks you can play in almost any match.
B tier Fine in the right team or map, but not meta-defining.
C and D tier Below-average results right now. Still playable if you know them well.
Good to know
Win rates are for Divine and Immortal ranked games; position win rates are from STRATZ via Dota2ProTips, "overall" figures are OpenDota win rates across all roles.
Rarely picked heroes with very high win rates (Medusa carry, Primal Beast mid, Meepo) have small samples, so we kept them out of S.
7.41f has been live since September 15, 2026 – the meta is settled, so big swings are unlikely before the next patch.
