After a long hard day of losing MMR, you might want to kick back and relax. Playing all the complex heroes with 10 different skills is just exhausting if you do it all day and especially if you’re on the losing side! Playing heroes different from your primary pool helps a ton if you want to have fun and blow some steam!
Whether you’re playing alone or you have a bunch of friends with you, the mentioned heroes will ensure you have fun in the game, mostly regardless of winning or losing! The mentioned heroes are relevant to the current meta as well!
10. Pudge
A fun hero list is NEVER complete without Pudge in it! After all, he is the most played hero in the game! You may not be the greatest hooker in the game but you may have some unexpected fun moments like hooking your ally accidentally as he is chasing the enemy or hooking the powerful enemy into your team only for him to wipe all of you! Pudge can often be a great pick if you have the right heroes to synergize with. Ex. Bloodseeker, Batrider!
