    Top Three Midlaners To Play in Dota 2 7.26c Patch


    Today we take a look at some of the strongest mid-laners in Dota 2 that will help you gain MMR or simply win games in normal Dota 2 matches.

    The meta of Dota 2 changes frequently, and it’s nothing like it was a few years ago. Still, the mid position is the second most important position in the game, and that’s why it’s called the position 2.

    Almost no pub game starts without a fight for who will take the mid lane, because people know how much...
