DOTA 2 Auto Chess: New Meta and New Item changes in Dota Auto Chess

New Heroes

New Heroes

New heroes were added into the game recently, you can now have Riki and Mirana as your chess piece. Riki can smoke during the battle but his Class Combo is only activated when he is in the waiting bench, he helps to hide your waiting bench from other players. Mirana is Elf Hunter and I will say she is an average chess piece, not too bad but not broken either, she is okay.

Another hero was added which Undead Warlock, Death Prophet. I think everyone saw this coming, we all knew whenever she arrives she will be Undead-Warlock. However, death prophet is a level 5 chess piece so you need to be patient before you can grab her. Her attack damage was increased by 10 as well right after few days of the release, so go ahead try her.

The Fallen Ones

Slark should probably be on top of this list, Slark went through a rework and now has pounce instead of shadow dance, the chess piece is also now level 3 instead of 3. Yeah, well nobody was going to invest on his anymore. The days of those annoying 1v1 or 2v1 wins are gone.

Undead is pretty much dead now. The minus armor combo was punished and reduced to -4/-6 now. I guess the days of Undead-Hunter is gone because Hunter combo was nerfed as well. So adios Undead-Hunter until the next patch. Beast master's attack rate was reduced as well.

Dragon-Mage is kind of non-existent these days because of the nerf to Razor. The nerf hurt the hero so bad that even after the buff on Lina, Dragon-Mage is still not 'good enough'.
