hmmm ok... i was tired last night and i usually play an active role in the game but i was tired as all hell and just wanted one last game ... so i randomed an LS and went ... meh ... first time playing an LS soooo didnt expect much but i basically just stayed in the jungle for 30 mins and farmed up HH Armlet Mjollinor BoT Abyssal Blade and a Heart ....

the best thing was i had them all in my stash and was just farming with brown boots and armlet and this sven kept coming into the jungle to get me and he was saying in all chat

"wtf you ls doesnt have any items what a noob"

then 36 mins in i come trundling down middle 6 slotted and got 3x rampage ....

first time ls and he ate them all up and i was wondering about him is all.

also .... Hard carry Tree ent? .. who has seen that before?

mate played him last night as well and smashed a 3 core medusa... many lols were had

Lifestealer is unrivaled around the 25-35 minute mark, and is also pretty deadly from 5-20.
But at 40 minutes he starts to fall off againts heroes who can manfight him.
Still a 6 slotted lifestealer still gives anyone but hard carries some issues.

LS is a midgame carry like many others, peaking at 20-30 minutes, a bit longer if snowballing. Normally should only be picked with a good infest bomber i.e. puck/storm/clock/nyx, if you don't have one there are better options. Ursa for example has better burst DPS in a very similar role, and other manfighting carries (mainly talking about Sven/WK) have similar midgame impact but stay relevant significantly longer.

A lot of people say Spectre falls off, but when you look at it...
MKB doesn't work on Medusa split shot targets so lategame all your supports could get a few butterflies and she would be pretty useless

Every support could get blademail and a heart or two and void is about useless

not "fall off", but a thread full of who i assume were lower-mmr people claimed that spectre fell off around 50 mins since supports were getting tanky which imo is stupid because spectre's main lategame is dispersion

^^^^ ......... u Wot?

so all supports could just spend the 5000+ gold for a butterfly or the 5000+ for a heart let alone TWO!!!...oohhhkayyyy

Spectre doesnt fall off. BKB stops her pure damage but apart from that she still is a tier 1 hard carry.

I'm obsessed with precision and nobody seems to care since 0.1% of spectre games she'll be 6 slotted probs

if your so obsessed with precision then i would think you would be more precise with your statistics....hmmm?

game goes 20-30 mins she should have at least 3 core. 40+ mins i would expect no less then 4 core. 50 mins plus if they aren't six slotted then they don't deserve to play Spectre.
