broken in pubs ignored at TI

[@disintegratedstrategist]

I've picked up Lina in my funny 2k pubs because she let's me do stuff like this, but I see I don't prioritize the shard enough because I don't spend enough time keeping my fiery soul stacks high enough. Great tips!

[@ggwp8618]

If you laguna you are granted max fiery souls with aghs its 10 Thats why the correct combo wil lina is Stun Laguna LSA

[@lepru7353]

@@ggwp8618 her LSA is the stun

[@loveluclins]

Lina makes me sad because she is pretty much the only hero that can scale spell amp to strong lategame levels. Limiting spell amp items was apparently done to stop people from just oneshotting creep waves with items, yet lina gets to scale her spells just with her tailor-made shard, aghs, and talents. Cool.

I experimented with Lina Mid a few weeks ago. On paper it seems way too good. But I think she do have a huge problem, which is mana management. Her game gets slowed down a lot if you don't get runes or enough sustain. Her rotations are weak without aether lens making her quite committed to just Mid and farming camps. It does take a lot of time to get online while CK, WK and BB are in the game which is hard to deal with. Decent for single target burst but have no escape. I find more comfort in Kunkka as he provides everything in the game right now. Most versatile hero in terms of item build. Can go silver edge rush to burst squishy heroes or go blademail heart, or the full waterpark. MMR: 5K+

Thanks for the video. Really nice and informative, especially the tp-/ward-tipps. What about skill- and item-build?

looks like you just discover ethereal blade on the shop

I’ve been spamming lina in divine pubs for the past month and you can literally end the game within min 20-30 with a decent team. You just need to abuse fog and stay at the backlines during fights unless you can get a guaranteed snipe on their pos1 or 2.

[@Pablodorado111]

Yeah me too, been playing Lina 5 and usually you can land LSAs very easily in lanre, her atk range is great for chipping enemies, you only struggle against the likes of tusk, Marci, CK mostly

[@roligayol8672]

​@@Pablodorado111what's your rank ? If pos5 is okay in divine i will try for pos4.

[@tendieman69]

It's like clinkz, if you don't have a front liner or tank that can hold up for merely a few seconds, then it can go side way very easily. This isn't picked in TI or popular in ranks because of it. It's easy to pick them off when the meta is all about instant mobility.

[@niknikzoom]

vp tried to pick Lina mid, but failed kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYmwZnWMjb6GnJI

[@mitch7110]

I learned Lina in June and have played hundreds of Lina games since. Her damage stats have been broken for half a year

[@Rasid312]

Correct me if i'm wrong Laguna blade 25 is pure damages she will not benefit in etherial blade's active right?

[@stellarbruh4945]

Always a fan of magic lina. I still miss the old arcane blink which helps her instant stun enemies

[@elysiumgaming2866]

Didnt lina get picked in vp vs ts?

[@spacebarwasd9782]

Lina is risky at Ti because if you mess up the whole team will die, it's usually low cool-down heroes

[@umarelimbaev02]

finally someone said that min 15 shard is OP, watchin dotabuff players ignore it and go straight into aghs made me always wonder WHY IGNORE SHARD

[@Awytoo]

Omg, please make with your audience petition to add this anime blowup effect in dota! Looks awesome!

[@akhi1069]

How's Lina Support this patch??

[@Pseudonym660]

I feel like nobody's paying attention to Lina, because she hasn't gotten a buff since the start of 7.34. Primal Beast and Kunkka also exist. They're beyond broken and she just loses those matchups. Don't pick Lina if they're not on your team, or just gone from the pool.

[@user-fr2zt5xd3u]

In dota you got team play meta, and pub meta

[@FoiraX]

but thing is lina cant do these thing when your side lanes 0 3 0 and 0 4 1 at 3 min

[@TW-fs3fj]

Its aether lens that sets her off imo.

[@raulmontero8736]

Thank you bro. U have amazing content! Hope u will do better. And wishing you a very good year although. Merry Christmas and comeback soon!! ✊🏻

LINA ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK GOD I LOVE THIS HERO

[@i-am-undercover7885]

Just played ld against lina. You just deny creeps then lina falls off. I was level 8 when she was 6. They brought 1 support to gank mid still couldn't. Instead got their support killed and lost t1. Lina is just a weak hero in this patch. Same thing would happen against other meta mid heros like kunka, voker, puck, primal. The damage looks good only on paper.

[@alucard92717]

Brother you're playing ld of course you can deny whoever you want

[@i-am-undercover7885]

@@alucard92717 Just learning ld though. Ancient 4 bracket. I have less than 10 games on ld. I will try this lina to see how effective she is but still dont think she is as op as other meta heroes

You did not mention anything about why she is ignored in TI

[@Sushichese]

Good Sharing

[@IAmMadMattDog]

do you have any ideas why she wasnt picked at TI?

[@whitegrayred]

because hero is weak and has 48% winrate on divine+ level of playing dota

[@blankx15]

She was picked once in TI by gpk I think. Got wrecked.

[@justsaying3176]

BECAUSE the meta is Blademail+heart / heroes that scales late

[@IAmMadMattDog]

@@justsaying3176 teams at TI set the meta and the video says she has enough burst and magic resist to deal with blademail heart, so it's not that, she also scales into late game really well

[@justsaying3176]

@@IAmMadMattDog i think that this is hero is not consistent enough, a double edge sword its like you win very early or lose very late .

just put boots in your backpack lmao

[@SammyLame]

Lina is good but she need frontlane, also she hates heroes that jump her. And she hates buying bkb, you can see everytime lina players go for linken eul, but if enemy team is not stupid they will focus her a fuck her up

I would to see like mikey to pick lina

tp guide is so good not to put in the title

Delete this, don't talk about my firey babe pls.

[@nutellabrah6718]

Not impressed. There’s tons of heroes that can kill hard and fast and burst anyone down. That’s not a “broken” concept. Dota is a team game, it will come down to who groups and positions in fights better. And in a team fight Lina first of all is a single target burst hero like VS it’s not enough. Who cares you killed one guy… and she also has short attack range and no escapes. Ranged heroes need pike and silver edge so if you have to get ags and shard and eth then there’s no time to buy escapes and range and stuff. I’d much rather have a sniper that can 3 shot everyone on the team around that time from a mile away. Or a viper that can burst one and kill the rest. Or a silencer with rev brooch that can setup to silence and then KILL THE WHOLE team, not just one. Lina only wins mid if you try to fight her level 1 if you just wait a moment she is weak and let’s her opponent get all their farm from too much pushing.
