Invoker — hero grid for mains

The in-game name is Invoker — the same in the English and the Russian client. In chat Invoker also goes by “invo”. Russian-speaking players say “Инвокер” (or “инвок” and “карл”).

Valve's one-line description from the hero list: “Weaves magic with an array of spell combos”.

The site's “Choose a hero” window finds Invoker by any of “Invoker”, “Инвокер” and “invo”.

Invoker: Intelligence attribute, shared with 33 other heroes; ranged attack; Valve rates the complexity hard, 3 of 3, one of only 13 heroes at the top level.

Valve's roles for Invoker, rated 1 to 3: Nuker ●●●, Disabler ●●○, Carry ●○○, Escape ●○○, Pusher ●○○ — maxed out: Nuker.

By attributes puts Invoker in the “INTELLIGENCE” (21st of 34) block; By complexity — in the “HARD” (5th of 13) band.

Invoker is a one-position hero — mid (2); no other score goes above 0.10. The site's position scores (best = 1) are carry 0.05 · mid 1 · offlane 0.07 · soft support 0.10 · hard support 0, so Pick by stats puts the hero into the “2 · MID” row only.
