DISCLAIMER: I found this hilarious Dota 2 hero tier-list from joinDota playDota forums when I started playing years ago which I had saved because it's a remarkable piece of art, Dota history and an endless source of dank memes. It dates back to early 2013, original creator is playDota forum user Pamonso.
E: It is a wall of text. Literally.
E2: Found the source, it's from early 2013: http://www.playdota.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1262744
make list for best to worst hero in dota 2. best hero start at 1 and get worse as go on down. not saying any hero is absolute bad. some are too strong. i tell u why hero is good or not good
axe - axe is best hero, too strong, culler blade kills all. helix kills in area. battle hungry kills slowly. berserk call makes u kill urself on blademail. too strong
centare warrunner - too strong. too stun. area spells on almost evry ability. annoying dmg 2 attacker. u r likely to win with this hero. my comrade play only centare, and we win most game
phantom lancer - many unit controlled. 42 agility gain. diffusal stack on clones. goes invisible to all
queen of pain - accurate name, becase she hurts all. best at hurt. infinite range. teleport. too strong in lane and team fight with area damage
warlock - best support hero. press r and kill all. too strong
crystal maiden - same as above
huksar - build lifestyle. never die. kill all in 1 hit. one ult kills all
shadow fiend - ult too strong. attack hard to use. hard to aim. too strong, but he need good position or else not good at all
