bBfore anyone comments i obviously mean she is good against an enemy SAFELANE Monkey - mid im assuming she would get dumpstered
Melee hero for one. Other melee mids can compensate, like Alch can zone because acid lasts a long time, and DK can shrug off harassment with dragon blood. Overwhelming odds isn't very good against a lane with just one hero, plus both her means of wave clear from overwhelming odds, and sustainability from press the attack are tied to 100+ mana spells, so it's pretty easy to harass her out of lane relative to other melee mids.
easy to harass lc? are you drunk, she has her 3rd skill to counter and hit you back for melee heroes, unless you are a range supp you can harass her
Talking about lc being mid, who is 95% most likely being matched against a ranged hero.
Lc have to kill heroes in order to scale well to later stages of game, not farm. She is better in sidelanes because more enemies=more overwheing odd dammage
LC good against monkey hhhhhhhhhhhh
And no LC isn't good against PA,for a large portion of the game after laning phase,LC risks getting deleted by PA alone(not even considering her teammates) in duels if you don't have the team to burst her down quickly,and outside of duels LC can't offer anything much to help her team(and no 2nd skill isn't enough).I'm not even factoring in draft composition as well
Why do you sub 4k nerds have such a hard-on for LC? That hero is literally trash unless picked as an answer for PL/CK maybe TB?
As someone with over 100 lc games i can confirm the hero is literal dogshit unless its picked for lockdown on an anti/slark/weaver/void or against illusions. Its not a great mid in any ranged lineup and you hace no kill potential in a one hero lane. You can sustain a lane with your moment of courage but lc doesnt win mid against any traditional midlaner. Hero is best played either in the safe lane or not at all preferably...
Please tell me more about legions kill potential in a mid 1v1 with no duel vs a ranged hero
Please tell me more about my profile's potential to be famous vs your profile
Good vs brood and ember mid. But kinda bad against all other traditionel mid Heros.
Not the worst choice for mid. It can work quite good. But its never a '' omg, super broken, op, nerf pls '' pick
Please tell me more about my profile's potential to be famous vs your profilewhat?
She is a situational pick in general and even more situational mid.
Why can't we spam LC mid ?
- Because she relies on duels to scale in the game. If she doesn't get enough duels, she won't even be able to solo pickoff duel win this Lion minute 30
- Because we need to take risks in order to stack early duels. The ennemy team can hate-tp on you as 5 to punish your pickoff and the ennemy team will translate killing pos2 into objectives
- Because we might end up at the other end of the map hiding for a potential duel, leaving your team 4v5 without their pos2. Relying on teamfights to stack up duels is risky because the ennemy team can have saving picks (well-positioned ww, oracle, dazzle, ...) that you will need to priorize instead of a worthier one or can hate-stun-lockdown you until you get bkb. Other than that, you can put your team into a bad positioning if they try to help you get the duel (1 duel won but ennemies get 5 man echo slam ?).
- Because there is a small tempo gap in which the ennemy can have a linkens and we don't have something to pop it yet (Blink + lotars + blademail + bkb VS 1 linkens g cost). People who skip BKB for Heavens/Orchid/Aby : KYS, thx.
When is LC a good pick (not exhaustive, not only mid) ?
- Against cheesy brood: You reduce highly her snowball potential by just negating her spiders
- Against splitting ember: Other than that, you force him to get a linkens early meaning one less damages item
- Against tinker: You can purge his lazer and he tends to isolate to split push and be lonely. Get the anti-tinker ward.
- Against SF: he tends to isolate to get souls back after dying so you can pick him off.
- Against anti-mage pre-basher + butterfly : He splits and tends to isolate. He will just suicide on your blademail in midgame. Be careful lategame as he will just outduel you and the blademail won't be enough.

Firstly, I know way less than majority of you on this forum..so I am looking for reasons/just asking.
She seems a natural 9th pick that can generally do well against most last pick mids.
Mid is more 1v1 now which she should be good at
She is a natural anti carry and especially good versus a few meta carries...of the top of my head; PA, AM, MK etc
