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.

A review of your Lion game

Sign in with Steam and pick a match: the coach reads the replay second by second and in a couple of minutes shows where the game slipped.

  • Every death and fight becomes a moment on the map: the fog of war as you saw it, and what the enemy saw that second.
  • Your pace against the Lion benchmark: 338 GPM for an average player, 413 for a good one.
  • Timings against pros: they have Blink Dagger by minute 19, and the coach shows where you lose time.
  • Five-game homework the coach checks in your next review, plus a chat with the coach about the match.
