Suggest: 4K Carry Heroes to Spam

So I got out of Low Priority last night - 4 victories out of 7 matches. I'm pretty sure I won't hit this trench anymore for quite sometime.


As I have said in my previous post, I will focus on playing the carry role in my main account. I'm currently thinking of maybe spamming 3-4 carry heroes and choose whoever best fits a particular situation. Since there's a big possibility that my allies will pick carry heroes before me, one of these heroes should be a Jungler-Type.

Can you guys recommend which heroes are good in this meta in 4K SEA?




Drow and Luna tops the carry hero list with 55.73% and 54.57% win rates respectively.
It is then populated by non carry heroes who are either 1 of these:
  1. Heroes who are easy to play but makes huge impact
    • Zeus, Lich, Ogre Magi, Warlock, Silencer
  2. Defensive Heroes who have an entire skill set to keep teammates alive
    • Omniknight, Abaddon, Necrophos
  3. Aggressive Heroes who are "subjectively" hard to counter
    • Spiritbreaker, Riki


If I scroll down past the initial list, the carry heroes next in line would be Mirana (52.37%), Sven (52.30%), Wraith King (52.21%), Spectre (51.85%) and Ursa (51.32%).



Interestingly enough, my favorite hero Spectre has fell down a lot. As a Spectre spammer, I feel that this is largely caused by the change in meta more than the nerfs she received.


Certainly, I would still pick her if the situation permits. But I think she is more situational now compared to maybe earlier this year. To be more factual, tet's take a look at my personal stats on Spectre:

The difference between this stat line compared to below was more personal rather than game-related (I tanked 500 MMR and dropped to 4K rating)
The odd thing though is that the matches were a minute longer. Either the agility nerfs or the meta changes has impacted the ability of Spectre to get kills, thus a huge drop in the KDA. Theoretically, this should be addressed by a more safer playstyle or more active participation in teamfights.

Clearly, the nerfs and the changes in meta has destroyed this once wonderful hero, dropping more than 10% win rate

Easily, the golden days of Spectre, this is when I reached Top 100 in Dotabuff's list

It's in my best interests to rediscover this hero once more. I still believe that her core skill set is still very powerful. Might be just some tweak in the approach, game play and itemization.

For now, the question is which heroes should I spam in my current MMR tier?

So statistically, Dotabuff is telling me to focus on:
  1. Drow Ranger
  2. Luna 
  3. Mirana
  4. Sven
  5. Wraith King
  6. Spectre
  7. Ursa
Out of these heroes, I have spammed/practiced below as safe lane hard carries.
  1. Spectre (61.97% win rate, 760 matches in total, spammed ~forever)
  2. Luna (49.25% win rate, 67 matches in total, spammed last Dec 24 2013 - Jan 25 2013)
  3. Sven (48.15$ win rate, 54 matches in total, spammed last Apr 12 2014 - May 3 2014)
  4. Mirana (50.47% win rate, 107 matches in total, spammed last  Jan 26 2014 - Feb 1 2014)
  5. Wraith King (47.27% win rate, 55 matches in total, spammed last Aug 21 2015 - Aug 30 2015)



What do you think guys? Which heroes would be best to play in this current meta to help me climb the MMR ladder?
