Viper is pretty easy too, and helps you get the rush of being a carry. Good to pick up at newbie levels of play too, as no one has any clue how to fight him haha.
Drow Ranger and Huskar are in the same vein of difficulty.
The key to playing all three of these guys is to spam their orbs. If you don't know what that means, basically all these guys have a skill that doubles as an orb effect. Viper's passive slow and poison from his Q. Drow's frost arrows, and Huskar's burning spears. This means they can't use lifesteal items with these skills or Desolator or anything like that. However, they can manually select the skill and then click on the enemy to cast it like a spell with a cooldown the same as your autoattack speed.
Why is this helpful?
Because casting spells on enemies doesn't draw creep aggro. So nothing will attack you while you click Q on the enemy hero. Including towers. Essentially you get free autoattacks (well, it normally costs a teeny tiny amount of mana)
Starting to see how insane that is for laning?
This means you can do crazy stuff like sit behind the enemy's entire creepwave and spam Q on him every time he comes near without any fear of creeps or towers doing damage to you (unless they're nothing else for them to hit). If you've played LoL, then it's basically Gangplank's Parrrley. On a one second cooldown.
Here's an example:

Reddit The Poem of the Bear
In the ancient woods of yore
There lived a bear with taste for gore
This bear was evil to the core
Violence filled his every pore
He lived in shadows, hid from light
And ravaged anything in sight
An ursine demon filled with spite
Many felt his crimson bite
Many Heroes of the age
Were swallowed in his blinding rage
Although advised by many a sage
Not to let the bear engage
Even Priestess of The Moon
With a bottled regen rune
Faced the demon by Elune
But the bear was spell immune
Dragon Knight did bravely dare
To farm the woods without a care
But someone warned him: "Best beware!"
"Behind you there's a fucking bear!"
Dragon knew what this had meant
He will be raped without consent
In his mournful, bleak lament
He miss clicked on accident
He stunned a creep with Dragon's tail
Indeed it was an epic fail
He tried to run to no avail
The bear had ripped him scale from scale
Many others tried to fight
Morphling, Naga, Chaos knight
They got a taste of ursine might
Their hollow screams had pierced the night
In the end the Ancient fell
Priestess died while at the well
The bear exclaimed one final yell
"I am Ursa. Go to hell!"
