Satanic names his preferred carry starting build in 7.41f

PARIVISION carry Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov shared his thoughts on the current patch in a video for the club’s YouTube channel. The discussion covered both the strongest and weakest heroes on the carry role, as well as the opening item build he considers the best.

Strongest carries in the current patch

According to Satanic, the top carry picks in patch 7.41f include Nature’s Prophet and Lone Druid. He spoke about the role from the perspective of the current meta, highlighting heroes that stand out as especially strong in the present version of the game.

For players trying to climb MMR, this kind of opinion is useful mostly as a snapshot of how a high-level carry player reads the patch. Even when a hero is strong overall, that does not automatically mean it will fit every player or every match. Still, it gives a practical hint about which heroes may be more efficient to learn, practice, or first-pick in ranked games when the draft allows it.

Satanic also mentioned the weaker end of the carry pool, though the source material does not provide the full list of names. The key takeaway is that he sees a clear gap between the best and worst options in the lane right now.

The starting build he considers the best

The most concrete part of Satanic’s comments was his take on the ideal opening purchase for a carry. He described one stat-focused starting build as “the strongest” and “just the best build,” making it clear that he values early efficiency over more traditional or passive openings.

While the source does not spell out the exact item combination, the point of the remark is still relevant for ranked players: carry starts are often decided by how much lane value a hero gets from the first minutes. A strong opening setup can improve trading, last-hitting, and overall survivability before the first major item timing.

That makes Satanic’s preference interesting not only as a pro player’s opinion, but also as a reminder that opening purchases should be treated as part of the lane plan, not as a fixed habit.

What this means for ranked players

The main lesson from Satanic’s comments is that patch understanding matters as much as mechanical skill. If a carry player knows which heroes are currently efficient and how to open the lane with the right items, the early game becomes easier to manage.

For ranked matches, this can translate into three simple ideas: focus on stronger meta carries when possible, be willing to adjust to the lane, and pay attention to the first purchase rather than copying the same start every game. In a patch where specific heroes stand out, small draft and item decisions can have a noticeable impact on MMR gains.
