deward their hg obs, with obs lina will always hit q on u and can easily harass u from lowground just because of passive also no vision makes ppl play more carefully
practice creeblock, u fail a creeblock lina gets creeps on her hg and presses rightclick on u and u cant do shit, while if she fails a creepblock she can't trade with u because she has no passive and mb no vision if she wasnt pulled a ward
have vision of her at all times so u can dodge slave and lsa
get a salve because u WILL lose tons of hp on most heroes and lina will try to outharass u the fuck out of the lane to delay ur timings and dominate the lane
get raindrops as soon as they are available in the shop
u cant defeat lina 1v1 with most mid heroes, usually u either try to get enough levels to trade farm(tinker, sf, storm) or wait for ur ult to threaten a kill(ember, qop/storm to some extent) after which she will have to play way more carefully
ideally u want someone to camp ur lane at first levels and get on ur feet after which it will be WAY harder for lina to win the lane, but frequent smoke ganks help too ofc
or u can pick sniper/aw and lina cant do shit
pick tinker, go 2-2-0-0 biuld. spam laser to win trades, harass her even more than you, get ez kills. win lane. GG
Play TA. Hard counter to that bitch. You can win all trades while harassing her with E... Because of the refraction dmg you should be able to outlevel her and kill her as soon as you get traps. Snowball from there on out.
Also, she's super weak against mid gankers.
^ I don't know about that to be honest. I don't think a max level psi blade would even reach Lina's attack range alone.
lina's weakness is that she lacks an escape, so just treat her like a storm spirit and prioritize ganking her early on, especially pre-6
It's ok to lose mid against lina. If you gank her NEVER dive cz she'll kill all of you if someone tp. Get raindrops and stack some camps
It works well. Just pull creeps and shoot through them. I don't know the exact mechanics at like super high level of mid play but in my bracket there is much success. She will draw aggro from your creeps as they will run towards his ranged creep, and her not being a hero that goes for stout/pms, she will always be on a losing side of trades considering the refraction and nukes.
All depends on the players I guess but in my experience (which is not huge to be honest) Templar Assassin comes up on top in most cases.
I remember in 6.84 she was like unparalleled mid, and the only competition she had was a broken hero. (leshrac) She still wins most match ups, a good Lina player is a BITCH to fight.
Rain drops is the only thing I can think of. lol
