I FINALLY got around to trying out the not-so-new 1 VS. 1 Mode. I was planning on facing a myriad of players with unique strategies for winning with different Heroes...I later remembered I'm in the trash tier MMR, so I just stomped 4 games with Bristleback...and I mean STOMPED! X{D
So, since I have yet to face a competent opponent and will most likely need to grind for several years before I can face one, I figured I'd skip the whole thing and start an open debate. 8{3
Naturally, I picked Bristleback as I believe he is a contender for the strongest overall Hero, with a low cost Spammable Flash Farm Skill to get some early Gold and Counter-Push, as well as enough Tankiness to laugh in the face of Burst Damage. Eventually, he'll get Tanky enough to run you down, or just stand there smacking the Tower until it falls (about lvl11 - 13ish)
Who do you believe to be the strongest 1 VS. 1 Hero?
P.S. I didn't add a Poll as there will probably be plenty of different Heroes including an few I wouldn't guess/take seriously ( Lina 8{3 ).
P.P.S. this is a serious 1 VS. 1 question, so no Vengeful Spirit jokes pls! 8{3
I have found mirana works really good in the 1v1 mode. free invis rune, a large stun, good push and flash farm, havn't lost once in the 1v1 mode with mirana.
Viper and Clockwerk obviously. Viper will slow you and kick your *** while you try to escape down your lane while Clockerk will take the more direct approach by shutting you down and pelting you with rockets and stuff.

The problem with Mirana is, that Moonlight Shadow doesn't help you much. Once you're 6 and you disappear, it's going to be obvious you used it, and once you've used it you can...sneak up really close and Starfall?.
Not to mention, landing Sacred Arrows from a blind angle becomes difficult as there aren't many good spots to launch it from without you leaving the Lane, meaning it has to hit or you lose out on Exp. Granted it's easy to hit them when they come near the stairs by your Tower, but anyone who's even a half-decent Mirana player will be able to watch out for arrows and avoid putting themselves in a vulnerable position.
No setup and no surprise make Mirana really weak imo. 8{(
You can really wreck with Shadow Shaman, He'll just take your tower and you can't do much about it.
also, here is a chart of the best 1v1 mid heroes: http://dotamax.com/hero/rate/?ladder=solo
Your Bristle has the same winrate as Io XD
