Best hero against Lifestealer?

[パンダ（Φ ᆺ Φ）]

i lost 65% of my match against him in a public match

earlier this evening i lost against him when i thought we are winning
my team consist of: Slark, LC, Pugna, WW and WR
his team consist of: LS, Sven, Invoker, Necro and Clinkz

i am using slark and we are actually winning the first 30 min but then suddenly the LS and Sven wreck my team, they didn't get to kill me (and i can't seem to kill either of them too) because whenever i hit them they always recover fast enough with their lifesteal and they always kill my team's LC and the rest of my team even though my team's LC item is decent (Boots, BKB, Desolator and BM)

though i can say my team's WW and Pugna play is below average.. but still how did they kill my team so easily?

whenever it goes to war they always win with LS and Sven left alive with decent HP and my team got wiped, so i was wondering who is the best hero to counter LS? and how?

Slark just need to build silver edge before 30 mins. it will counter ls passive life steal.

High physical, evasive heroes. Generally avoid high hp heroes, lifestealer's feast deals bonus damage and lifesteal relative to his targets current hp. PA, TA, weaver, AM are good examples. Lifestealer's only disable is also open wounds, so it will be easy to constantly juke around him, force staffs and blinks will help a lot if you're playing support. Ghost scepters are also good.

A huge part of lifestealer is his survivability, and a huge part of that is him hitting and lifestealing off his opponents. Just avoid getting hit and lifestealer will waste his rage and open wounds trying to get into melee range of you and your allies.

This may sound strange, but you may want to avoid skadi when fighting against ls as slark due to how much hp it provides. He has terrible armor and physical damage is his weakness, an ac honestly might not be so bad as it not only provides attack speed for slark's but you're also reducing ls armor.

Force STaff / Hurricane pike is necessary against LS.

Lifestealer is very strong in this new meta. He's in the hotspot because STR heroes are the new meta, since he himself is a STR hero and how he is so good at killing other STR heroes by turning their healthbars against them.

That being said, he, like other carries of his type, is stuck without any natural stun, so any hero that is good at escaping can easily kite him and ruin his day.

Ursa is also really good at wrecking Lifestealer because Ursa is really good at ripping things appart regardless of lifesteal or healthbars.

Stuns can also leave Lifestealer in a bad spot, since his survivability is 100% reliant on him actually hitting enemies. With enough combined stuns he can easily be bursted down if he doesnt go spell immune, and even then there are disables that pierce spell immunity as well (Dismember just to name one). Even an Abyssal blade can do the trick if your hero doesnt have a stun, although the health increase may make you an easier target.

Speaking of hitting enemies, anything that disables his ability to attack is really effective. HH, Oracle, Pugna, anything that prevents him from auto attacking throws his natural survivability out the window.

- Don't get HP items.
- Get damage items.
- Don't fight near creeps if possible.
- Skull Basher, Manta Style, Silver Edge, Satanic, Hurricance Pike, etc.
- Ghost scepter and Forcestaff for supports.
- Pick Agility heroes instead of Strength heroes.

AA ult destroys LS.

You can't win against LS. Take it from someone who has been playing LS all this patch. There's nothing you can do but wait for me to farm then destroy your whole team

Razor is typically the most used counter to Lifestealer. He can't sit there and trade with him because of the static link and ulti. But there are some other good ones as well. I think the most common mistake peeps make is they let him jungle at start and forget about him until he's powerful mid to late game. However, if you keep the enemy jungle warded and stay on him, he won't do much.
