Lion

Lion: Ranged, position 4 (soft support), position 5 (hard support), Disabler, Nuker, Initiator. In patch 7.41f the hero has a 48.8% win rate in pubs and a 24.5% pick rate.

Lion gives enemies little chance to retaliate. Stunning targets with a damaging row of spikes, or temporarily transforming them into a harmless critter, even if his powerful spells aren't enough, he and his allies should still have all the time they need to slay their foes.
