#2 Puck

Puck has been buffed constantly from a few patches now and the 7.22G patch was no different. The hero received a major change to its Phase Shift ability which enables it to Phase even when rooted. This is a huge buff to the hero and can make Puck a highly elusive character, apart from having received an agility gain buff which makes it even stronger.

Although Puck is played with a nuke build in mind, there is another way of playing the hero now. The +90 damage talent opens up a window to play Puck in a right-click hybrid build, where the hero has the potential to do both magic and physical damage to enemy heroes.

Starting items like two Nulls a Bottle and Power Treads are great but later, one can get a Midas and get tons of quick XP to level 15. Late game items can include a Sheep-Stick, Scepter as they combine well with level 25 talent of Rapid-Fire to dish out heavy damage.

#1 Abaddon

Abaddon might not be the fanciest hero in the game but he is more than viable in the current meta. The hero has his third skill Curse of Avernus, which is one of the best laning abilities in the game and no hero can trade well with Abaddon because of this passive skill.

He also has his second skill which offers the hero and allies good sustainability. Lastly, Abaddon can deny himself with his first skill in the early game laning stage and can keep punishing the enemy heroes without dying to them.

Some good item choices include Vladmir's Offering, Blade Mail, Radiance and Solar Crest. Abaddon is one of the best offlaners in the game and can be extremely frustrating for the enemy team when paired rightly with other heroes like Tiny and Undying.
