General DiscussionHow to play lifestealer

maybe after Echo Sabre&Assault Cuirass?

press the button ?

this hero doesn't hit anything

i think that you buy midas (armlet) sny on him again

this hero cant get back into the game if he is behind at all, if you can't fight early because you are weak you will just lose the game because almost all carries farm faster than him

1) Farm for 12 minutes.

2) Run at enemy team

3) Smash your hands into your keyboard.

4) If 3 went well see 5, else see 6

5) Win

6) Lose

idk even with armlet echo i was hitting like once in 5 seconds
(i didnt go attack speed talent but +15 seems pretty negligible unlike +6 stats)

Ask teammates to pick bara, then there's 3 chance : Retarded Bara, retarded LS, Both are retarded.

keep farm....go armlet , echo , desolator... in +-30 mins... then situational item want do u pick...

I am pretty sure you need team build around him

Don't purchase echo sabre, that item is hot garbage.

After armlet. Lifestealer will be behind the enemy carry in terms of 2nd item timing, he simply cannot flash farm. You have to take the fight to them at the armlet power spike
^@We're chained... why do you consider echo sabre garbage? And do you mean for Lifestealer, or the item in general is bad?

I don't want to make a separate thread so I'll ask or here. Can anyone suggest an item for LYCAN to clear creep wants faster so it can split push fast.
Mjolnir or bf which is better. Or any other suggestion for split pushing with the hero.

^he doesnt need one
He clears creeps rlly fast already.

Ya echo sabre feels like shit idk why
Also his BAT nerf feels extremely apparent and it hurts

Nobody pick that dogshit hero pls ty

Echo doesn't really help you manfight anymore

Umm why can't Echo help him manfight anymore?

ppl used to go echo on him. what's changed?

pma, you can win every game

Echo sabre is shit in general and shit on lifestealer. Dead end item that was already overbuilt in the first place, after the attack speed nerf and numerous sny buffs it's simply inferior to other choices.

oh yea i forgot about sny. sven's dont really get echo anymore either

"steal life"

Hi, I see your new here but sorry fellow player, but you will never get proper information in this forum. Because its full of people with life problems and can't deal with them and starts to spam the forum to feel good about themselves and also their 1000 mmr and double down users. If I were you I would move to "DOTADEV" that's where admins of the game and high mmr players with out of this world skills answer all your gaming questions in dota 2. You better leave now and close this site or everyone who is active in this forum will start to give you wrong answers and the other random 1000 mmrs playing with bots will go crazy and starts to spam randomely and trust me your gonna like them very much. http://dev.dota2.com/

And also if its not helping you then try the Steam Forum {[http://steamcommunity.com/app/570/discussions/ ]} about Dota 2. No one dares to spam or flame there if they want to get instant 2 weeks ban and if they do it again 1 month and again 3 months and then again then they have no choice but to perma-ban them. but you need to unlock a privilage to post to prevent spammers like that person named Jack and that person who thinks he/she is an animal Dog. and those people moved here so they can spam here.

I also recommend the "Dota 2 Animo App" and chat with 3000-8000 mmr players if both of the following forums are not helpful and the community there are nice people.

Thank you for your time.
and btw don't pay attention to them, they're crazy and you know for attention.

if you cannot find your perfect forum then you don't need one because you are smarter than a forum.

as you can see "" Copyright 2017 Elo Entertainment LLC. "" Dota 2 is a registered trademark of Valve Corporation.

its not owned by valve its just some random person made dotabuff alive. so there will be a lot of false things here and puts dota 2's reputation into the ground of bad even how good their reputation is rated on the steam app.

Attack speed reduction is no more. Simple as that. No reason to pick up that garbage over SnY when it provides you more of everything.

you still don't know how that hero works. he's extremely op if you aren't a passive dependant hero againts him.

he's extremely op if you aren't a passive dependant hero againts him.

What?

secret.

diox is back boys. To play Lifestealer well, you need to know the limits of the hero. Or just buy Armlet S&Y Maelstrom AC.

What does "passive dependant hero"? Is that like WK? Maybe PA? Sniper? What does that have to do with being OP? Is it because he has Rage? What if he's got buff skills and that don't affect the enemy, like Sven's Warcy or LC's Press the Attack?

I don't care if you're retarded but if you have a legitimate point I'm happy to listen

maelstrom is bad on lifestealer.

u say whats bad. but do uknow wats good?

YEAH NIGGA WHAT'S GOOD EH?

Phase into armlet into deso.
Everything after that is situational.
Win your lane easily because it's hard to fight against a naix in lane as the offlaner.
Naix is an extremely good lane hero that can snowball. And make sure to have a good infest hero

Ye i had a much better results from fast deso
Sny after armlet also sounds good, but that game i didnt rlly need to chase anyone.
