I just don't see the hype behind LC. Always thought he's one of the shittiest hero in game, yet people were saying he's OP and versatile. His only good point is clearing summons.

LC did get nerfed so that may be the reason LC is underwhelming atm

Really good laning and anti push too. Also, she scales well without items but scales even better with.

Spectators cannot pause, all players are disconnected

When did they change that?

Also isn't lc supposed to get damage early by only using duel when the target is essentially 100% dead already so you guarantee the damage? Then when you get a good amount of damage actually start duel initiating? I have no idea how to play it this is what I've assumed.

Always what I thought too. Even more so useless in pro games (works ok in pubs where you can find pickoffs to snowball off duel damage with). Snowballing pickoff-dependant heroes just doesnt exist in pro games.

Also remember that Funn1k had to jungle LC, which is pretty much like jungling Lone Druid. You can do it, you just would rather not.

Yeah he doesn't have one of the strongest dispels in the game, that also heals you for 300 lifepoints and gives you a hefty attack speed bonus. What an complete and utter shit spell. Once people start min/maxing this hero and figures out to achieve the most with the least amount of farm on this hero, it'll be a very solid hero. I think your completely off tbh.

Well I don't know if LC is really viable, but it sure won't work against chinese teams who won't hesitate to deathball and exploit the early teamfight weakness of LC. In addition, they usually have some sort of CC in their lineup.

Well, no pro team really seem to have found good use of her. So take what I say with a grain of salt. If you play her as a 1 or 2 position she kinda needs to do what you're saying. To be relevant come midgame and lategame she needs a good chunk of bonus-damage. As position 3 (or even 4 if someone would ever bother trying that) like Navi is using atm, I think you can focus more on just being lockdown and just use the hero as hard CC on a key enemy target. But honestly im not sure why you just dont get a batrider or beastmaster or something instead then.

You could say the same about every hero in the game. Look at this hero X and his ability Y. It does this and this, its awesome.

Problem with LC is mainly she needs to continously get damage to stay relevant. Pro games are just generally not pickoff-friendly enough to keep doing that.

On a side note, dispel and attack speed bonus synergizes extremely bad. When you dispel someone out of a key CC, the atsp bonus is probably wasted 90% of the time. If you atsp yourself pre-duel or atsp your carry you waste the dispel. That doesnt mean the spell is bad, just saying...
