General DiscussionHow to counter lifestealer in low MMR games?

Faceless void ez rape, I mean if you go carry build

Force staff + ghost scepter

Ta, ck, void, items, magic piercing ulties eg bane, beastmaster

Anyone with blade mail since it goes through his rage now.

And he's still quite easy to kite, force staff away and right click him. If he isn't hitting people he's quite squishy. So ranged heroes with hurricane can do well. Viper can kite him easily. Troll and ursa can man fight him.

Viper,focus ulting on him
And ursa eats him alive

Thanks for responding, guys, I'll try viper, beastmaster and ursa in further games, I guess. Still I want to know if there's a counter jungle strategies besides bounty hunter and sentry-blocking spawns.

Necro armour + blademail build. Never ever ever build heart or tank against him, if you want tank build AC or shiva etc. I say necro cos he can cancel out armlet toggle, armour is super strong on him anyway cos of heal and sadist, plus he is strong early when life is weak and vulnerable to ganks, blademail goss through rage and adds you even more armour.

if he is to farmed, abyssal is the aswer, and if you have a pudge just ult him

blademail does fuck all to Lifestealer

Ez PA.

Just did, pick mobility hero.

Surely the lanes are not too strong if they have a jungler..

Don't pick my teddy bear he's nerfed

slark, ursa.

PL the be all end all of lifestealer

all support : build force staff.
carry :
mobility heroes, like anti mage, pa.
crazy damage, like ursa and sven.

Omni ult can block all the damage from his right click, and Lifestealers in low mmr usually won't build diffusal to counter you. Lifestealer has one slow which can be easily dispelled with spells like Abaddon's shield and legion commander's W.
Force Staffs and ghost Scepters are also great kiting tools. So are any heroes with spammable escapes, preferably blinks.

Sven i think is the best. But u will need to farm very good.

Illusion heroes rekt him, strong phyisical damage and evasion. Coordinated teams using force staffs when needed, ghost scepters, anything to make him waste his rage.

Pick Spiritbreaker. Naix is in the jungle, so you are free to charge to at least 2 solo lanes, and 1 lane with 2 heroes in it. It is very hard not to win lanes like that, just buy a stick, shield, clarity and boots when you have gold. Keep charging every 20 seconds, try to get kills or make enemies leave the lane. Also if you need some levels/quick farm, stack and pull for your carry or try to pull offlane creeps to jungle camp. Once allies get level 3, should be ez lanes ez game.

medusa, batrider, beastmaster, slardar, visage, faceless void, you get the pattern right

dont worry, 7ks dont know either

15-1 in solo now atm

Zenoth I assume you're going phase>armlet>deso>echo>daedalus right?

Bounty Hunter he can reck jungles and ruin weak lanes plus track makes him easy to kite

get force staff/gscepter/euls/ any item that can kite him. EZ all he can do is crawl crawl and crawl

Pick Abaddon? Easy remove wound..

Get phase, Oov , max skill 3. Keep hitting naix so he can't hit it teammates.

phase>armlet>echo>deso>daedalus

just go for agility carries. most of them are pretty good against him

Lifestealer doesnt care about blademail, ur high af whoever said that

he does, are you high

rage doesnt block blademail

lifestealer doesnt worry about agi carries either, high armour str cores are a bigger problem

Weaver SeemsGood

viper can counter all hero have immunity

Anti-mage:
Blink(abilty)
Illusion(manta)
Evidion(butter)
Stun(abyssial)
