The Best Late-Game Carry


Everyone had that one game where it goes more than an hour long, forcing players of both teams to literally play 'Defense of the Ancients'. During those times, people often wonder about what hero would reap the most benefit from such a prolonged battle condition. A hero that could wipe the enemy team in one fell swoop. Arguably, in no particular order, these 3 heroes could be considered as the top contenders of the late-game carry league:

1. Medusa.



After farming for more than an hour long - stacking ancients and whatnot - Medusa would have had enough mana pool to let Mana Shield turn her into quite a tank. Combined with her damage-amplified Split Shots, even waves of mega creeps won't keep her for long. This allows Medusa to kill enemy heroes without having to actually focus on them one-by-one, while, on the other hand, enemy heroes should really consider focusing on her.

2. Faceless Void.


Even without getting farm-fed, Faceless Void never fails to keep enemies on the edge of their seats, carefully watching out for his dreadful Chronosphere. Locking anything inside while disabling anyone in any possible way, Chronosphere really does provide an exorbitantly dominant arsenal for him, providing 5 long seconds for a well-farmed Faceless Void to eliminate quite possibly any opposing carries. Add a Battle Fury with an extra wombo-combo from his teammates to that, and you have an aggressively high chance for a team-wipe at your disposal.

3. Ember Spirit.


Simply put, Sleight of Fist allows you to attack enemies without being attacked. When the game goes over 60 minutes, waves of creeps - and heroes for that matter - are more likely to compile. Using Sleight of Fist on these crowds gives Ember Spirit a longer period of being invincible as he attacks each and every enemy unit in the targeted area. Moreover, the Fire Remnant's ability to kite in-and-out of battles decrease the risk of dropping Divine Rapiers by folds, so Ember Spirit could stack-purchase that blessed monstrosity of an item and ceaselessly wreak havoc on enemy teams. With Magnus or Enigma by his side, a one-hit rampage is not just a dream anymore.
