Hmm. In terms of the heroes I have the most fun playing: KotL, Invoker, Kunkka, Templar Assassin, Phantom Assassin and Shadow Shaman are up there.
Viper will always have a place in my heart though, because it was while playing viper at a lan against the people who taught me to play that I realized, 'Hey, I know what I'm doing now!" and proceeded to own all the things.

Strength Durables are my best heroes, so people like Axe, Skeleton King, Tidehunter, Nightstalker (<3), Kunkka are my best ones. I also like people like Faceless Void, Invoker, Silencer and Shadow Shaman, who was my first hero and I still love him. Suluchi-nominus-forti-cali!
Haven't exactly played a wide range of heroes, but here's my list anyway. Starting with number four, because of reasons.
4. Sven - He's fairly dull as far as abilities and playstyle goes, but once he pops God's Strength I suddenly don't care about that anymore. How odd.
3. Lifestealer - Laning with Lifestealer always makes me feel like a badass just for not going jungle, and the fact that this beast can go toe-to-toe with pretty much any other hero mid to late game is just great. (Also, his quotes are just gold).
2. Nightstalker - Farm, farm, farm, become unstoppable god for six minutes plus ult time, repeat.
1. Rikimaru - The only hero I've yet come across who's sole purpose is to keep the enemy team dead and bankrupt through unimaginable damage and the power of crippling fear. What's not to love about consistently getting ungodly amounts of kills and keeping the enemy team well below their full potential?

My favourite Champion is Brolaf, I am too stronk as a jungle Brolaf.
You can't arrest me, my Dad owns a dealership!

You know, when you told me you were going to hijack this thread I thought you would be a bit more subtle about it...lRookiel said:HIJACKING THREAD FOR THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS!

So continuing with the hijack, Irelia. All the Irelias. So FUCKING cool! You think you're safe behind your team squishy baby carry? Well too bad! I have a teleport on a 5 second cooldown, loads of true damage and 81% CC reduction permanently.
Oluf has nothing on this.
As for carries I adore Ezreal. Professional snipes all day and Arcane Shift is the best ability in the game. On 100Hp getting chased by 3 people? Lol jk jumping a wall to safety. It infuriates the enemy team every time :3
"You belong in a museum!"
Nice thread.
My top 5 are:
Crystal Maiden - Her passive is incredible, her ultimate is deadlier than your opponents ever seem to expect, her Q is one of the best laning harassment skills in the game and her W is all you want from a single target stun: interruption, good duration and fair damage. She is my #1.
Wisp - Great chase and escape; a survivable ranged strength support with global presence for you and a friend. Spirits are a fair nuke, overcharge is tops for pushing down towers. This hero has few weaknesses. #2 no problem.
Juggernaught - Q is a Free BKB and he has a great animation. Pick up treads rather than phase boots and you'll have no mana problems. His in built critical has very high odds, his ultimate eventually lasts a long time while making you immune to rightclicks as well as spells (oh, and it does a tonne of damage)... Just a solid beginner's carry, with enough nuance to be relevant at the highest levels of play. Plus a great voice set. He's an honourable #3.
Lina - Lina was the hero I played first after installing Dota2 (I was long ago a fan of the anime that is the basis of her WC3 DotA incarnation). Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array are both excellent laning skills, though the latter can be tricky to land without surprise or a prior snare. Her passive is one of the best in the game and keeps getting buffed! Her ultimate is the highest single target burst damage skill in the game, and can spell the end of other support heroes even if they're up at around 80% of their life points. Lina should be in everyone's top 5. She's my #4.
Bane Elemental - Possibly the scariest support hero in the game, with even more ganking and solo-killing potential than Lina on account of the fact that Fiend's Grip goes through BKB and his disables are targetted rather than skillshot. Laning against Bane can be demoralizing. His animation is great, his base damage at level one can fast bring you low enough for a play on your life to be made and oh yeah- he looks like the ghost of a fucking xenomorph. He's #5.

Well, I just started playing DOTA, and I can safely say that I'm aliitle ashamed that I don't have favorites yet. :-/
That said, I do like Spectre, Zeus, and one whose name isn't coming to me at the moment from what I've played so far.

Luna. Dat ass and for the DAHK MUN.
Sniper. Ragequit is a highest praise for me.
Dragon Knight. He needs no steed.
And maybe Lina. Because she's Inverse.

Gyrocopter.
I really like his abilities, I'm able to absolutely demolish lanes of creeps and I've noticed that relatively few people attempt to blow up the guided missile (especially early game). His ult getting global range with the good ole' Aghanim's Scepter is also great, as I'm able to assist lanes that have unsuspecting foes. Plus, I'm able to quote Mario's floating head on flying from "Mario Teaches Typing 2".
Riki, Bounty Hunter, Pudge and Enigma are my other favorites at the moment.

I love Rubick so much. He is my main at this point and I'm playing him in a college tournament this weekend. The color scheme and alllll of his lines are so awesome.RTSnab said:There is nothing like landing a good Ancient Aparition ultimate. That thing is by far the most satisfying skill to use in any Moba I've played ever.
On pure visual style, nothing beats Rubik:
Very simple design with elements that immediately jump. Very simple 2 color layout that still looks good, and his staff is definitely a good representation of his skills, if only subtly.
I also have a soft spot for DAZZLE!
Currently I am in love with the following heroes:
Axe (good melee and I mostly love melee heroes)
Lesrac (great for taking out towers)
Warlock (great support, and that Ult)
