General DiscussionSpamming support lion, need advice :-)

Hi Blitz,

You need to get dagger first for better positioning.

You also need aether lens since all of lion's skills are ranged.

Then u should save for aghanims since it greatly increases your income capabilities (you can finger the creepwaves since it becomes AOE).

Or if you're not doing verywell. You might want to get euls or mechanism

You may want to get linken or bloodstone for a bit tankiness

don't get bloodstone

if post blink/aether consider ghost force glimmer etc, mek will rape ur mana pool even more

luxury items are aghs eblade veil etc. stuff that amps ur damage

boots of speed dagger force staff gg wp you won6

Do what supports does
Buy wards
Buy courier
Buy detection
Dont farm too much (tolerable to farm until dagger but still)
Hit your stuns
Dont stack your disables
Position well
Items are usually tranquil to dagger,then team utilities like mek,force staff,urn and shits like that
Easier said than done tho :/
Dagon=reported
Bloodstone=reported

Lion is good for spam i think, as the hero is flexible.

tranq - wand - blink - aether lens - aghs and/or veil -> OC or whatever necessary extension items

ofc you would still buy ghost force and such items according to what your game is about

Wards > boots > ward > mekans > ward > escape (force / ghost / glimmer) > infinite ward

Arcane boots - blink - game is over because you also bought all the wards

After blink you get glimmer or force or ghost scepter and more wards

You could consider taking lion when you have to be offense, and Witch Doctor (with heal, not maledict) when you're looking to play defense. There's also better heroes against broodmother... the spiders munch on lions like lettuce

Lion is a good hero just make sure your team can get kills around your stun and hex. only downside is that he is extremely squishy with no real way to get away. if the enemy goes orchid youre pretty much dead. gl and let us know how the spam goes

fucking noobs lion doesn't need arcanes he has mana drain omg

:)

ye u are a big retard bcuz lion alrdy has mana drain so he needs no mama omfg logic====killed

Lion cant carry retard hardcarrys, you need to Spam omni or Oracle

he doea need..what if he is vs nyx or invokeer quas wex or kotl ....and i ln your team is bristle....think little 1k retard think....

> try to set w to smartcast

better set ALL to quick(smart)cast (and cast on key down)

arcanes is awesome and builds into aether lens anyway

just dont forget getting the carry who is potent of killling a hero, because lion has to be in an offensive combo, otherwise he looses levels

These are some awesome ideas, thanks everyone! :)

Spam omni or ET they are both supps and pretty imbalanced, and a lot of people don't even know how to play against him.
Or CM, she is also pretty imbalanced but she is not really a position 5 altho I use to play every of my supps as pos5.
Honorable mention would be Treant and AA.

ive tried going 4 4 1 2 with arcane boots in 4k pubs but it rarely ever worked out. your team is way too stupid - getting arcanes for their mana sustain is rather waste imo. although you have BARELY big enough mana pool to cast all of your spells in fight without arcanes so you'll probably need to drain someone at times which is kinda dangerous with 700 hp support as you can guess
just go 4 1 4, get tranquils and run at people.

Remember to use Mana-drain to kill off strong illusions. If there are multiple strong Illusions (CK Ult for example) it might be worth using both mana drain and Hex to instantly kill off 2 of them.
Also Finger is not for stealing last hits on enemy heroes. Use it near the start of a gank to bring the enemy low for your cores to finish off. Don't use it on the 50HP KOTL who has no way of escaping :P

hero is bad
