Ursa can be more lethal early-mid game in terms of sheer damage, Lifestealer is more flexible with his range of powers (slow, magic immune, escape, etc). Late game really depends on farm, but I'd say LS would generally have the edge if it's close.

Lifestealer eats Ursa for breakfast, in terms of picks and 1v1. I'll return and explain why later.

Lifestealer kills Ursa really easy. The more health Ursa has, the harder Lifestealer hits.

You clearly misunderstand how both heroes work. Ursa, whilst able to do huge damage due to Fury Swipes gets a lot of his damage from stacking hp and using Enrage with Overpower for attack speed.

N'aix however gets attack speed comparable to Ursa (Also longer considering it gives more hits in total, Ursa gets 6 hits with max Overpower N'aix will get ~12 given the fact he will get about 2 attacks per second for 6 seconds.) from his Rage and gets not only percentage based lifesteal from Feast but also regular lifesteal per hit from Open Wounds.

Deck both heroes out at level 25, let them duke it out in an all out man fight and you'll see N'aix will win every time.

so in a match up you would be better off with LS over Ursa pretty much every time?

And in basically every situation, he can initiate better, escape easier, more carry potential, counters a whole hero type (durable), and he's a bonafide badass. He's also not as item dependent, being very self-sustainable.

It depends on what you're talking about. In general, Lifestealer is a better pick. He has a natural speed boost/bkb/attack speed boost, he heals off attacks, and has a ranged slow that heals the team.

If you're talking about having both of them put against each other in an arena? Ursa will beat the living **** out of Lifestealer, easily too.
