Earthshaker - most accountable team hero
If I had to pick just one hero in every game for the rest of my life regardless of the enemy heroes, I would pick the Earthshaker. I can count on him in every game. As an AoE attacker, his spells combo well with most other heroes (esp. other AoE heroes). From pubs to the highest level of games, you know you can count on Raigor. He's the best hero to counter pushes and also to initiate pushes. With his 1000 range Fissure spell which can stun a hero from far, it also has dozens of other uses like saving allies/trapping enemies with its blockade-ability. Really flexible spell. Once he has a blink dagger, he can wipe out entire enemy lineups in the blink of an eye... especially with another AoE damager (like QoP). With the Blink-Fissure-Enchant Totem-Echo Slam (or blink-echo-enchant-fissure) combo you can completely destroy enemy pushes. Late game image carries like TB, Naga or Phantom Lancer are no match for ES's Echo Slam. And if you get a refresher, they don't stand a chance.
I can tout for him to be the 'most useful hero for every situation' in DotA. There's no bad time to pick him. He's useful in every game regardless of enemy heroes. Just get him a Bottle and Dagger and he can still own. Raigor's gold-effectiveness ratio is excellent. He combos well with most heroes.
There's no reason not to pick this cow in every game.
