Lina's role in General Discussion

    What is it? I mean, she's amazing and I like her, but it kinda confuses me - which way should she be played?

    She has quite good burst damage, so she could be a support. But, on the other hand, her burst has quite a big mana cost. Without items you won't be able to sustain it. Also, she loses a lot of her combat potential without items.
    She has one of the best right-click steroids in the game, so she could be a carry. But she's very fragile, even with some HP/Armor items she'll die extremely fast if focused.
    She could be mid, because of good ganking potential and powerful ulti, but her starting HP/Damage and attack speed are so awful, I not sure she can compete with other mid heroes.
    She has both long-range attack and nuke, so given her need for levels and items, she could go solo-off. But, again, she's very fragile and doesn't has reliable escape - she'll probably die to any strong duo/tri-lane.

    For example, I went solo-off last time, and that was not bad. But I had Brew and Mirana as my opponents, so there was no instant initiation and I managed to dodge dem arrows.
    Few other times I went as lane support there were good cases where I managed to get few kills and level advantage. Start roaming then, snowballing and stuff. And there were bad cases, where I didn't managed to get these kills, was forced to spend money on wards, fell off in level and net worth very bad and couldn't contribute much in fights.
    I once played one-vs-one mid with Lina against Bane and lost miserably. Managed to get one kill, but only due to enemy's mistake.

          I don't think these hellfire burnt muffins will give you enough nutrition to sustain all the sexual desire.

          Hm... One more role off then.

            which way should she be played?

            sounds so wrong

                she is someone lacking one and thus rarely ever playing in the pro scene.

                She is in theory a support or a semi-carry caster, but she lacks a reliable stun. With her new aghs we may see her as an Anti-bkb aggressive-tri lane carry. She can be great in pubs as a mid lane hero, but in pro games are attack animation is too awful to be reliable for last hits.

                  Lina is only good as a carry

                    My friend plays her in any lane basically, you actually just need mana boots and blink

                            I usually pick LIna after enemy picks liion. So when he fingers me I laguna blade him.

                              Lane support early, nuker/carry late. You do not want her in a 4 or 5 spot (buying wards, courier n shit). Like if you have a carry mid she goes to get farm in one of the other lanes, another carry in last lane. If you have a non hard carry mid like a puck she can lane support but needs to farm after.

                                I always go mid with Lina and last hit with stun and most of the time if the enemy is melee I end up stomping my lane cause I get to 1) Get assured last hit
                                2) Damage the hero
                                3) Stop him from getting a cs at times

                                                  I've lost almost every match whenever there was Lina in my team.

                                                  A Lina player always refuses to play Support and tries to go mid, steals kills from main carries. I will agree with the Batman dude that she belongs in kitchen.

                                                  At least Lina players are not as bad as Skywraith players. I dunno why but every Skywraith player seems to be a total asshole.
