5 Best Offlane Heroes in 7.39b Meta

With the release of Patch 7.39, a continuing trend for Position 3 Offlaners is selecting heroes who can create map-control by taking early ganks and fights while also securing fast farm. With heroes like Beastmaster, Bristleback and Night Stalker losing in popularity, some familiar faces retain their winrate and a couple of new tanky heroes are making their entry back into the meta.

In 7.39, the developers nerfed Wraith King in two meaningful, but insufficient ways:
1. Radiance lost 5% of its evasion but don’t worry, it still causes enemies to miss their attacks
2. Reincarnation can no longer trigger if Wraith King is in his Wraith Death form.

Legion Commander in 7.39 received a buff to her Outfight Them innate ability where her health will restore for more when attacking an enemy at equal level or above her’s. That said, the developers did make it scaling with each level in Duel so early-on, her Press The Attack and Moment of Courage will not restore as much.

In 7.39, Dawnbreaker received a buff to her innate ability: whenever the sun comes up, so every 5 minutes starting at 0:00, Dawnbreaker gains 25% bonus damage and 20% bonus vision and that decreases over time until it becomes night. This is massive for a hero that joins a lot of fights in the mid-game and especially buffs up her Starbreaker which is based on your attack and deals bonus damage on top of that. This is another hero that responds great against Terrorblade, Templar Assassin to burn her Refraction with Dawnbreaker’s ultimate ability. She’s also especially powerful when responding against Phantom Assassin because her Starbreaker deals True Strike damage, so it cannot be evaded.

Dark Seer is a staple of this patch because he has a relatively comfortable lane with Vanguard and can fight with max levels in Ion Shell and eventually building that Vanguard into Heaven’s Halberd. He’s a good response to a lot of heroes you want to push out of the lane like Slark but also his Vacuum into Wall of Replica can punish enemies who rely on positioning during team-fights, like Terrorblade and Drow Ranger. Pairing Dark Seer up with heroes who have great follow-through in team-fights is a game-winning strategy, so heroes like Earthshaker and Echo Slam are good or you can work with heroes who can take advantage of your Ion Shell to secure easy kills when ganking, so try heroes like Clockwerk, Pudge, Spirit Breaker, etc.

Axe is back and that boost to his Call Out facet has really opened people’s eyes to the hero where you can still go for the One Man Army facet to snowball the hero with a lot of Strength and armor OR you can opt for the buffed 7.39 Call Out facet which gives the hero a lot more farming value, and thus early timing on your core items like Blade Mail, Blink Dagger, Black King Bar, etc… With Chipped Vest back as a neutral item, Axe is farming especially quickly or even getting some early-game items.
