nah, As a naix spammer, the ability rework make naix laning so difficult cuz his percent dmg is now upgrade by ulti, so he deal almost no dmg in trading with enemy offlane. before this patch, he can out-trade enemy offlane melee, bully and zone the shet out of them, but now, he can barely last hit creep due to his low dmg. and his skill3 doesnt slow the enemy, so if you want to kill or even trade the enemy right click, orb of corrosion is a must item, otherwise they can just walk away due to lack of slow except his skill2(previously, the first right click can follow up with 2 or more right click) The worst part is now his skill2 doesnt spread like old shard and less heal, although you dont have to buy it anymore, but the spread thing is the one that make his shard worth buying and so good I think they nerfed his percent dmg a bit,which is obvious when you hit tanky high hp hero. Overall naix got balance
@@JohnnyLinn I'm also a naix spammer and I fully agree with everything you said, not claiming hes not a good pub hero, especially at lower ranks, but I think hes more balanced than before.
Everytime I pick doom there's always lifestealer enemy picked and got stomp after lvl 6 and hunt him. I only lose sometimes using doom against ls cause of lack of disables in line up.
It is just a matter of practice, really. Well, the crucial usage of armlet is in teamfights, heroes like lifestealer and WK benefit from armlet active because of their lifesteal and increase strength of the item itself. you just have to practice timings in activating it, not just constantly making it active. If you are dangerously low, you can re-toggle it to reset your health to a significant amount of health and it can really be a crucial and surprise factor to your opponent.
@@krxagoryl5645wrong, they removed status resistance from sange only, sange and yasha still gives it and also gives slow resistance, it was not a nerf to the item, but a buff
I would say that when it comes to troll its the other way around. Troll is so bad against ls if he buys that aghs u just cant ult if u dont have linkens and it burns the entire duration of battle trance.
It was replaced with slow resist on kaya-sange, not sange-yasha they did a bad job of explaining it in the patch notes. But i guess they want more uniqueness to each of the sword combos
Ah yes, a guide for beginners made by watching a master play Lifestealer. It's like teaching chess based on Magnus. (And it feels like this is the commentator's first watching of this game.)
Never wins lane and pro players hardly throw after winning lanes so yea he sucks The vid shows skitter beat pos1 on earth whatever and he still lost his fucking lane vs a Cent that naix counters Why am i even watching this then ???
im starting to play carry and on some heroes who buy radiance I dont get the point of it like a lot of games id just go deso and sange and yasha or deso and something else and it feels a lot better and active than be useless till i get my radiance. like if its a game thats going very well sure ill get it but even then id just rather go deso armlet and be active
You are not useless with radi. Or even til the raid. Armlet is the best fighting item. Plus if you have radi apart your right clicks, you deal aoe damage while being invincible with rage, infest, rage again after invest. Not to mention its blind debuff
The damage over time adds up(check the stats and game and you'll see). And the earlier you get it the more it's worth it. Like sub 15mins is good. Not only do you melt supports you make carries without bkb miss a lot. Deso is more of a fighting item(purely damage) Of course if you have a pushing lineup that wants to end the game in 20-25mins like drow visage lycan bs, then a farming radiance ls isn't the best hero for the job.
low immo 67% winrate as naix main hero here.. Second facet is not really that good. It can be good situational, for example if you play against magnus, bane or something like that, but most of the time you don't want to change 100% magic immune for 50% status resistance. Even in game with magnus, beast etc, you want to consider amount of enemy lockdowns. If they have so much lockdowns, you just don't want to change rage.
but bro you literally have built in bkb which is actually stronger than bkb. Plus you have ult for escape if needed, not to mention it if you upgrade it with aghs.. Buying bkb is legit in some games, but most of the time it's money and time waste, Naix is the hero where you invest in his attack which is actually his deffense. Me - Low immo 67% winrate naix as main hero.
I had like 70% winrate on naix before the innate patch and now its like 35% They keep saying he is a good laner and stays on lane and whatever but i never saw it not even once. Even with best supports against worest offlaners the lane was even cuz u have a 50 damage core trying to cs vs a probably 60+ core Feast and open wounds are good vs cent slardar dk and other melee 3s but vs range 3s ur just fkd u cant cs u have to constantly buy regen spend ur early lane money on lane winning and not jungle items like bracers coroncaopia etc and still lose the lane. I never won a lane with this hero in this patch but i won like 4 out 10 games from losing postions once i got that radiance its almsot auto gg other than that as a naix player this hero sucks cock Divine rank
Lifestealer is not actually easy hero to play. I mean, everybody can learn to just click his 3 abilitties, but that hero has arguably the biggest items pool in dota 2. IIt may be not too hard to play, but it is hard to decide what is the best option you can go for from game to game. you can start with 2 bracers, you can buy orb early, after boots you can go for radiance, or armlet, or even maelstorm. You can buy sange and yasha, but you can also purchase manta. You can buy aghs on him, but you dont need to in most of the games. You can buy desolator for more dmg, or even deadalus if you want more dmg. You can even buy blink on him - agility or strength - you name it. If you need it, bkb or linken are legit options also. Silver edge is ok option if you need it, or even skadi if you playing against morph for exmple which you can combine with orb early, but also you can buy heavens helberd if you play against ursa for example. You can even purchase fkin butterfly if you already have dmg and you want to increase atk speed even more with evasion, but you dont need disarm which heavens provide. AC is also very good item, but mjonlir is also ok if you go for maelstorm build or simply you are playing vs pl for example. That's the beauty of that hero.
@@PhanDucAnh The stun duration can be really good too if youre going blink and/or youre playing against heroes with blinks or escapes. Also good to just make sure you get that support kill before they can use items or spells. 400 Health really good too though
Why use lifestealer as a safelane when his damage is low. Wld it be btr to play lifestealer with rad as a tanky Offlane? How wld it differ from safe and Offlane?Appreciate the explanation
Typically you want your offlaner to be a reliable teamfight initiator or crowd control, and can apply pressure on the enemy pos1 in lane. Which is why heroes like axe/centaur shines. Also, lifestealer's damage scales well into the late game as it's based on max hp%
I played both role. But ls need too much luxury items. So if 2 others lane Ok, no problem, if they lost the lane, so u will be raped easily. For example just with blink + BM (= Rad) u can combat with other offlaner. With rad u can't open combat or kill any1.
@@Tankt0ptig3r does that mean that for an optimum draft I would nid to rely on someone else to deal most of the damage? Since speed oso did mention that the damage output is poorer .
Not picking Unfettered in itself is already game-winning kappa
I ran DK frost innate against lifestealer in offlane, counters his passive so you can run at him, highly recommend
DK is absolutely busted in this patch.
It is worth mentioning that you can split radiance into nullifier + butterfly. Butterfly gives evasion, armor and is great when paired with basher.
I'm so tired of Lifestealer...he just gobbles so many offlaners
haha is so fucking strong, when you think you're about to kill him he just leech life up to a 100
Try Razor and Slardar then

Ask your Mommmmmmmmmm!..........................because I heard she was good at Dota.
Ive been playing lifestealer since his release. Ive rode the ups and downs and definitely enjoying him now! ls mains rejoice!!
hey speed - plz make a guide for underlord carry - it seems really good with the insane cleave and afk farm, use ulti to join good fights xD

does sange and yasha still provides status resistance?
Not anymore as I remember. They replaced status resistance with slow resistance
Yes, but just if it is combined, sange by itself not, just provides slow resistence
Sange itself does not give status res but sange and yasha gives it

LS can easily pop your linkens with open wounds now since it's back in his base kit

hello bro where can i find out about current hero meta?
in quran
I thought LS got weak compared to other safelane heroes after 7.36 update since I rarely see him now in 7k bracket and tournaments
Its not good in 7k bracket. Better play ta, ck, tiny or sf
Never wins lane and pro players hardly throw after winning lanes so yea he sucks

Razor should be a good pick vs lifestealer?
Always it is
Slark good
Ursa
slardar is the best offlane counter against naix, who actually could win the lane against naix even in last patch, when naix was lane dominator.
Ck hc is the best imo, i played against him in 6-7k bracket always crushing him
WHAT ABOUT THE SHARD SPEED!?
This hero is a nightmare even on turbo...
Holy shit.. you're pumping out videos after videos every day lol. Ig 7.36 is a big patch
Thoughts on the other facet? I think it can be situationally very good
Against BKB piercing Stuns Like RP or Fiends Grip
low immo 67% winrate as naix main hero here.. Second facet is not really that good. It can be good situational, for example if you play against magnus, bane or something like that, but most of the time you don't want to change 100% magic immune for 50% status resistance.

Im not sure, but I think open wounds doesnt heal your allies anymore
Literally says it on the skill: „allowing all allies to regain health“
why no BKB here ? i think BKB is the most powerful and important item for LS late game
but bro you literally have built in bkb which is actually stronger than bkb. Plus you have ult for escape if needed, not to mention it if you upgrade it with aghs.. Buying bkb is legit in some games, but most of the time it's money and time waste, Naix is the hero where you invest in his attack which is actually his deffense.
