Arteezy suggests best hero picks for cores and supports to win in Dota 2 patch 7.38b
2025-03-06 11:28:00Dota 2 player Artour "Arteezy" Babaev shared his thoughts on the early meta of patch 7.38b. He highlighted best picks for cores and position 5 supports on stream. The NA star believes in Abaddon and Dragon Knight despite nerfs to these characters in the last update.
What you need to do when you load into a game, you pick Abaddon. If it gets banned, you pick Dragon Knight. [Comments on draft] F**k, they just did it, they banned DK and Abaddon. Now, you need to tell your position 5 to pick Warlock or Jakiro, immediately.

Arteezy has been streaming since the patch 7.38b release and has played almost 30 matches. The carry's best heroes are Nature's Prophet and Clinkz. The latter has a 100% winrate, but he only played him in two games after the update. He also picked a lot of Magnus and Slark, but with negative results.
Patch 7.38b came out on March 4. The update nerfed several heroes with high winrates. Abaddon is still one of the best heroes in average pubs, but he dropped down to almost 50% in Immortal ranks. Dragon Knight's winrate suffered a lot across all skill levels.
