Leshrac, yeah? in General Discussion

    So, I notice that Leshrac's winrate has been increasing since the last week. Why is that? As far as I know, he didn't receive any direct buffs or anything.
    Also, I've been playing him more, recently. Any tips on how to not lose the late game with him?
    I generally build Bloodstone, Octarine, Aghs, Travels and Skadi.

      dunno maybe ethereal vs physical heavy lineups and bkb vs magic heavy ones
      should be enough time to melt everyone

        IMBALANCE DEMANDS IT

          try shivas or hex lategame, skadi is kinda crap
          glimmer is super good early
          aghs is not a default item, and rarely needed
          if you are not doing great, you can get aether lens, may be
          early euls is great, particularly if you are playing mid
          bkb is a must in more than a half of your matches

            imo aghs is a defualt item as 3rd-4th item because it allows u to 3 hit creep waves (2hit with e)

            TripleSteal-

              nice reason for a purchase of 4.2k item that barely gives you anything useful

                  LUL well the thing is that with aghs u do like 200+ dmg just with ur ult, in combination with octarine eul bot and bloodstone ure pretty much unkillable and can free farm all around the map in seconds

                  TripleSteal-

                    u need to get BS, BoTs, octarine and either euls or glimmers earlier, so at that point of the game additional damage will not matter as much as hex/shivas would, as far as i see it. purchasing aghs earlier seems suboptimal as well.
                    just my pov.

                      so what would your 6 slotted lesh look like? for me its

                      bot (after eul + bs), eul, bs, octarine, agha, shivas/hex

                      i totally get what u mean tho, but imo the agha is worth it anyway (you can literally even exchange it after u've farmed enough)

                      Pale Mannie

                        BoT2, Blink, hex, octa, BS, bkb, eaten moonshard for those sick rightclicks

                        TripleSteal-

                          bkb, linkens, ghosts=>eblade, or shiva/hex instead of aghs, everything else is the same. well, sometimes glimmer instead of euls.

                              Why not Skadi though? It provides him with much needed tank in the late game against enemy agility carries. But that's just my opinion. I generally like my intelligence heroes being stats-heavy -and that +60 damage on his ultimate is pretty sweet lol- thus the Aghs and Skadi. And if you are good with positioning yourself in teamfights, will skipping a BKB work?

                              TripleSteal-

                                it depends mostly on the heroes enemy team has rather than ur positioning skills
                                skadi costs a lot and gives u nothing rly useful outside of +25 str. there are a lot of better choices, as far as i see it.

                                  ^ i dont know, skadi is shit early of course but as a 6 slot item maybe can work, i dont play lesh just thinking :P 750 hp, 3.5 armor and like 550 mana are good stats, the +25 dmg and + 25 AS are shitty on lesh but the hero right clicks during his combo, hes not invoker but neither tinker or timbersaw, the slow is useful and the +2% spelldamage is ok.
                                  but maybe is just shit who knows

                                    Probably because of the Intelligence factor making his spells stronger.

                                      skadi is just a waste on lesh
