How to counter Ancient Infest Lifestealer?

[Mighty Atom]

Lifestealer jungles to lvl 6 a fast as possible, then hops in an ancient creep and starts pushing. Next item he buys is a radiance

Whats the counter to this strategy? I'm thinking you just gank him a lot in the jungle, but lets just say that he plays the jungle right, and you aren't able to get a kill on him without making a big commitment ( 3+ heroes, smoke, wards, ect...)

Troll warlord, void.. can both bash the ancient preventing it from escaping. Also the both of them are good carrys vs Lifestealer.

Enchantress with her pure damage, clinkz with his burst physical damage can take it down quick.

Ursa.

Split the map, he won't be very mobile and can't tp so just push other lanes.

High physical damage can take down ancients pretty quickly as well as using bashes so he can't escape. Ganking him early can make it easier when he finally does get 6. And I believe Chen with aghs can control his already controlled ancient and send it back to fountain leaving Life with the choice to remain there or die.

If he gets out before the ancient is teleported to the base then he'll be fine. Other wise getting out would get him killed by the fountain.

Well the tp takes 3 sec I think ls are smart enough for that :P plus picking chen for countering 1 hero is slightly odd

Chen is the strongest hero in this patch. Arguably.

Ow oke then I will actually go and read 6.86 notes

[Mighty Atom]

anyway, i dont think chen is the answer. LS already has 1 instant kill on a creep, then if he buys Midas he can take out two of your creeps before you even have a chance to try anything. If anything i would see LS as a counter to Chen not the other way around.

I guess the best solution is to try to gank him early, and once he gets in an ancient creep just ignore him, until you are farmed enough to kill the creep and deal with him after he pops out?

Creeps are teleported instantly I believe so you should be able to just take over then instantly send him to fountain.
