Leshrac

Leshrac excels when paired with heroes who can capitalize on his area damage and control. Enigma creates devastating combos with Black Hole after Leshrac's area damage softens up enemies, while Magnus can group enemies perfectly for Leshrac's abilities with Reverse Polarity. Crystal Maiden provides the mana regeneration that Leshrac desperately needs and can safely channel Freezing Field behind his area control. Invoker can land perfect Meteor + Deafening Blast combinations on stunned or slowed enemies from Leshrac's setup. Jakiro and Warlock provide additional area damage that synergizes with Leshrac's playstyle. The key is heroes who can either enable Leshrac's positioning or amplify his area damage output.

Leshrac struggles against heroes who can interrupt his long cast animations or exploit his squishy nature. Shadow Shaman and Lion with their long-duration disables can completely shut down Leshrac before he can cast his spells. Lina and Nyx Assassin provide high burst damage that can eliminate Leshrac before he can react. Silencer and Anti-Mage with their silences prevent Leshrac from using his spell-intensive kit. Juggernaut and Lifestealer with spell immunity can walk through Leshrac's damage and kill him easily. Oracle and Abaddon with their strong dispels can save allies from Leshrac's combos. The pattern is clear: heroes with long disables, high burst damage, silences, spell immunity, or powerful dispels all pose serious threats to Leshrac's effectiveness.

Leshrac dominates heroes who are immobile, squishy, or rely on grouping up. Sniper and Crystal Maiden are easy targets for Leshrac's Split Earth + Lightning Storm combos due to their low mobility. Illusion heroes like Phantom Lancer suffer from Leshrac's area damage that can quickly clear illusions while his stun sets up kills on the real hero. Structures (towers and barracks) fall quickly to Diabolic Edict, making Leshrac excellent at pushing against heroes who struggle to defend towers. Heroes with debuff immunity like Juggernaut still take full damage from Diabolic Edict, neutralizing their primary defensive tool. Heroes that group up in teamfights take massive damage from all of Leshrac's abilities. Heroes with small health pools like supports are vulnerable to his burst damage combos. Leshrac's combination of reliable stun, area damage, and tower destruction makes him a nightmare for these hero types.
