A fun Hero with high KDA is basically...a fun Hero.

KDA isn't exactly an important Stat and has more to do with how active you are in Teamfights and Ganks rather than what Hero you pick.

If you want Supports like Lich, try Lion, Skywrath Mage and Jakiro

Mid Game Carries like PA? try Ursa, Slark and Anti-Mage

Gankers with good lockdown like Axe? Try Storm Spirit, Slardar, Clockwerk

All 9 of those Heroes are definitely fun to play. A few levels and maybe a Blink Dagger and you can start wrecking. <}3

My apologies, MMR I mean, I've had a few games as Earth Spirit and Timbersaw, and quite enjoying timbersaw atm, struggled a bit with ES but got the hang of it at the end

Ive played as weaver before, (even won a 2v5 with and OD) but i just found him boring after a few games (sadly)

I hold a grudge against meepo and his "poof" and also i never understood his abilities once i played him

Thanks for your opinions guys

KDR is Kill/Death Ratio. 1.7 would mean that you have 17 kills for every 10 deaths.

It's an FPS term, but it's still somewhat valid in this context.

I thought that Drow Ranger wasn't that noob in that you have to watch positioning against players that show aggression and a gank-first mentality.

What are you EXACTLY looking for? If you factor in assists, then there are a group of supports that can deliver some statistics.

My problem with KDR is that you can play like a blithering idiot and manufacture good stats. You can also be a rock solid player that gets it done from the 5 role - and a have stat line that makes you think "I could urinate on my keyboard and do better than 2-4" (never mind the 15 wards, 18 assists, and six saves you made).

Morphling is lots of fun.

Phantom Lancer.

And as far as KDR, if often means little as to how successful your team is (as long as a couple of people are positive) because what if you've been pushing towers all game and pushed all the towers by minute 30 or something like that, but got 0 kills and died a few times while pushing. You were a great asset to your team, but didn't participate in teamfights much.
