I’ve been playing a few games lately, many of which have been rather one sided. Though recently, I’ve been running into my snowballing being stopped by some rather popular pub heroes.

So, today, I’m asking, who do you think are the best comeback heroes? I made a poll with 15 heroes on it:

On this list, I have a few heroes:

Zeus , one of the 2 meta heroes who can play multiple roles, this guy outputs so much damage its crazy, making him great ahead, but also a deadly high ground defense hero with his ult and arc lightning (especially since his passive deals percentage based damage). Zeus seems to be the hero that even when I snowball against him and I rush a Pipe, if he can still nuke down my allies, he still easily turns the game around.

Spectre , consistently the best pub carry because of how disgustingly well she scales with farm, and how much chaos she can create in a second with her ult. Spectre is the type of hero who can get back into the game with a good usage of her ult, and her late game is the consistently best of all heroes.

Medusa is the other hardest carry, scaling narrowly less than Spectre, but she can farm quickly and she can defend high ground, super creeps, and even megas with ease. Plus, she can punish you really hard for going on her with her stone gazes.

Chaos Knight is the third hero of a similar vein to the above 2, though its a bit earlier, and his item scaling is unbelievable for his ultimate. A CK with some levels and his ult ready can beat many heroes that are significantly more farmed than him (if they are not a hero that directly counters him), just relying on his brute force.

Doom is a pretty good comeback hero because his ultimate can stop the enemies if only one person is snowballing, which can often be the case. Plus, his late game is really incredible, and he’s rarely completely broke.

Anti-Mage is a decent comeback hero if the enemies have intelligence heroes, preferably cores that expend a lot of their own mana, since he can punish them very hard and maybe get their streaks. Besides that, he pushes quickly and can make his own map space pretty well.

Sniper is a possible comeback hero (if you remember that 6.83 era) because of his great high ground defense capabilities, and his ultimate making it possible that during one of those dives, he may get a streak or at least a kill or two.

Earthshaker is a hero that is pretty good at coming back too, since he has not only good anti-push, his stuns are very good at punishing the enemies diving, and he is an exceptional force late game as well.

Necrophos punishes diving hard, his skills are still effective even if he’s losing, since most of them are % based, and mistakes against Necro are extremely costly because of his extra 30 seconds of death.

Ancient Apparition is one of a few supports that seems really good for coming back, since his ultimate stops regeneration, which means that it punishes enemy dives really hard, and he is also strong at defending his base with it too.

Wraith King also seems like a potentially good comeback hero, mainly because he has 2 lives, making him really good against burst damage, and the heroes most likely to snowball are burst damage heroes. Plus he’s just really strong midgame.

Enigma , because his late game is incredible, and Black Hole is amazing.

Magnus , because his late game is incredible, and RP is amazing. Also, he can pull people to his team in those big high ground pushes, especially good paired with.

Techies , who honestly is even harder to high ground against than before, ever since he got infinite land mines.

Elder Titan , his counterinitiation skills are godly, natural order is hilariously powerful as the game goes on, and earth splitter is percent based.

So, who do you think is the best comeback hero? Or your favorite if you want to talk about it. It doesn’t have to be in the list, obviously.
