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! 

Why is Pudge a fun hero?

• You can hook the enemies into the tower/save your allies from enemies.
• Aghanim’s Shard allows you to “eat” your allies, where they’re basically inside you, regening HP

3. Tiny

This gargantuan elemental entity knows no bounds! Tiny sounds like the least intimidating name for a hero, but as the game progresses, he makes you feel tiny! Not only does Tiny deal heavy damage in the early game, but he can also be a fun-to-play hero since you can toss people! A quickly tossed enemy into allies soon becomes toast! Or the other way around if you want to grief your allies (which we do not recommend!)

1. Techies

The sheer smugness on the Techies’ face is an indicator that you won’t be having a good game! The worst part of having Techies in the game is that you may never know how long it may last! You may have a quick 20 stomp or the game could go on for 2 hours! Techies is fairly one of the easiest heroes to play, but is a nightmare to play against!
