    So I’ve been watching current rank 4 leshrac player Pelmaleon play for the past few days and realised just how in trouble this hero is.

    He plays it mostly as a roaming hero rather than mid like he used to. The hero does poorly mid because of a low base attack damage makes cs hard, and Lightning mana cost is too high and his mana pool is too low because of repeated base int needs.

    You also never see the hero in pro games. It’s no good as a support because 2 of the spells require him to be <450 range to damage the enemy, so he needs enough farm to deal with a carry right clicking him in mid-late game. Got some strength gain buffs recently but the main problem is laning.

    Look at the winrate, he’s abysmal in most pub matches. Terrible as support, bad as offlaner and barely wins half the time he’s taken mid.

    Imo he’s like bloodseeker, needs to win and snowball because if he doesn’t he gets killed too quickly for his damage over time spells to work.

    If you look at his change log it’s just nerf after nerf after nerf to all his abilities apart from some strength gain for most of the past year. Icefrog must have lost a lot of games to him in 2015 to treat the hero this badly.

    Imo his base damage needs to be unnerfed (ie +4) and stun mana cost reduced more and maybe damage increased a bit so he can max stun and edict first to use stun to get CS and ignore lightning again like the good old pre 6.84 days. For late game aghs needs to be improved (either make it bounce and increase timer, or make it active whether ultimately is active or not) or make hit 2 units etc.

                    Murranji is famous here in dotabuff for his cry posts, why not stick with your bloodseker who is good now?

                    But i agree with that Lesh is garbage now and hes even more garbage than other nerfed heroes couse this guy actually have some skill requirement,very tricky hero but bro make him for work you and you get some respect, or you will only play him once he get pick by some pro kids?
                    I mean don't be a another "meta hero child" be a freedom mind and don't follow these icefrog games.

                      Didn't Leshrac just win a minor for ehome?

                        Its not mean hes a total garbage in solo q.
                        In pro games teams have tons of strategies, in solo q there is only one strategy.
