How the Hero Quiz picks your hero

No magic, sorry. Every answer adds points to a profile, and the quiz compares that profile with Valve’s own data of all 127 heroes. The hero with the highest match wins:

45%RolesCarry, Support, Nuker … Valve rates every hero from 1 to 3 in each role.
30%AttributeStrength, Agility, Intelligence or Universal.
15%RangeMelee if you like problems up close, ranged if not.
10%ComplexityA big stick (1 of 3) or a spell book (3 of 3).

The same answers always give the same hero. Almost every hero can come out of the mirror, and none of them comes out much more often than the others. Want a hero picked by pure luck instead? Spin the Random Hero Picker.

Axe asked the mirror who the strongest hero is. The mirror said “Axe”. Axe did not break the mirror. Growth.

Dota 2 hero types: every role and its strongest heroes

Valve gives every hero one or more roles, from level 1 to 3. These heroes have the highest level in each role, straight from the game’s data.

Carry

Weak early, huge late. Needs farm and items, then wins the game. Everybody else is luggage.

Anti-Mage●●●Arc Warden●●●Chaos Knight●●●Gyrocopter●●●Kez●●●Medusa●●●Morphling●●●Muerta●●●

Support

Keeps the team alive: heals, saves, wards. Gets little gold and all the blame.

Crystal Maiden●●●Dazzle●●●Io●●●Keeper of the Light●●●Largo●●●Lich●●●Oracle●●●Treant Protector●●●

Nuker

Big spell damage in a short time. Somebody’s health bar just vanished.

Invoker●●●Leshrac●●●Lina●●●Lion●●●Oracle●●●Phoenix●●●Queen of Pain●●●Shadow Fiend●●●

Disabler

Stuns, roots, silences. Nobody moves when this hero is around.

Bane●●●Lion●●●Puck●●●Shadow Shaman●●●Axe●●Batrider●●Beastmaster●●Brewmaster●●

Durable

Hard to kill. Takes the hits so the others do not have to. Like Axe’s face.

Axe●●●Bristleback●●●Centaur Warrunner●●●Mars●●●Primal Beast●●●Tidehunter●●●Wraith King●●●Abaddon●●

Escape

Blinks, jumps, goes invisible. Gone before the enemy notices.

Anti-Mage●●●Arc Warden●●●Broodmother●●●Clinkz●●●Ember Spirit●●●Morphling●●●Puck●●●Queen of Pain●●●

Pusher

Takes down towers fast. Buildings are scared.

Broodmother●●●Death Prophet●●●Dragon Knight●●●Leshrac●●●Lone Druid●●●Lycan●●●Nature's Prophet●●●Shadow Shaman●●●

Starts the fight at the right moment. Axe approves.
