PARIVISION's Dota 2 midder named Warlock the strongest hero of patch 7.40c.

The Secret to Success

Minenko noted that the hero is in demand at any rating due to his phenomenal survivability when purchasing certain items.

"He is the first ban and the first pick in every pub," stated No[o]ne.

The Build

Vladimir named the items that make Warlock nearly immortal:

"You just buy these ridiculous items like Guardian Greaves and Holy Locket, and you have two thousand HP, you become unkillable."

It is noteworthy that in the letter patch 7.40c, released on January 22, the developers did not make any changes to Warlock's stats. However, the hero remains at the top: his strength was previously confirmed by players from Team Spirit, as well as the second coach of Virtus.pro, Artem "Fng" Barshak, who included the character in the S-tier of their rankings.
