How to counter Life-Stealer

Postby Xytaglyph » 10 Mar 2012, 04:23

I cant see how to counter life stealer. Basically he just hits you with his slow then pops his bkb type skill and it makes him impossible to stop. I cant figure out how to counter him. I know you need to shut down his farm but it seems like his early game is way too powerful with his huge movement speed that tops most other heroes.

Tips plz

If his magic immunity skill is the worst problem, agility carry in your team should buy diffusal blade and dispel it. With CC Naix is pretty weak since he has to hit a target or otherwise he will go down really fast.

In my opinion naix is really weak at early since he is so dependent on his team. Later on dispels, stuns and slows will do the work. End game should be easy with hex (scyhte of vyse).

I agree with Gnadi. Ghost scepter works pretty fine too.

Well, LS is pretty nasty to counter since he can deal massive damage while staying alive.
BUT, yeah there's a but...most of his damage output comes from feast, at least until he farms deso or basher, agi heroes(mostly carries) with low health pool and heavy right clicking beat the shit outta naix.
Terrorblade, to be precise.I just hate that dude.I mean, rage quiting after he owns you for like the 15th time is just...oh, ive seen it too many times. :evil:

Apart from them, ghost scepter can leave you out of harms way just enough so he's badass steroid spell ends.Then you can permastun him. :lol:

And , just to mention, his Infest is just downright awesome.For instance, youre playing Specte and youre free farming peacefully on bot lane.Suddenly, windrunner is coming into your junge.Alone.So you think, ooh okay cool free kill right?Dagger followed by a couple of hits, she gets low, youre already spending the hero kill gold, but then BOOOOM Naix comes out of her(damn that sounds weird) and you die miserably.

Get armor instead of hp. Armor blocks his Feast damage, since it's physical. As a agi hero, get evasion. The armor comes from itself on agis. As int hero, get stuff to stay away from him. Forcestaff, blink, eul's, GS. as str heroes, don't let him focus you, because as str hero, you're the target for his feast. So force staff or blink should be enough.
But most important is, try to not get too much hp. Insteado of hp, get armor and magic resistance (because of other enemies, where armor is useless).

And never forget to GANK him early game in forests.

Obs on his jungle, not only blocking camps but to the guy on MID lane can gank him easily. Pudge it's pretty good at this.

Having a mid game carry on ur side, u neutralized the naix perma ganking him on jungle and ur carry is farmed because of the easy lane because of naix jungling, or trying to.

If he goes lane, probably after failing jungle, he's probably going to continue dying and feeding ur carry.

If he got farmed, get Heavens Halbred, Sheepstick, Curiass, Blaidmail, escape items
