Best Carry Heroes — Dota 2 Carry Tier List

The 35 carry heroes worth playing right now, ranked from S to D tier by how they actually perform in the carry role in Divine and Immortal ranked matches.

How the tiers work

Tiers are rebuilt every two days from STRATZ data covering Divine and Immortal ranked matches in the current patch window — lower brackets play a different game, so they are left out. Each hero is scored mainly on win rate in the role, with a smaller weight for how often it is picked — a popular hero with a strong win rate is proven, a 0.5% pick is a niche. Heroes picked in fewer than 1% of games for the role are not ranked. S = top 10%, A = next 20%, B = next 30%, C = next 25%, D = bottom 15%.
