Lion is a very situational pick . You don ' t want him against high AOE teams or magic burst teams cause he dies so quickly . Where he shines is against escape heroes like weaver or slark or AM or SS but see above re magic burst and against long term right clickers or initiators like wk , slardar , alch . Mana drain also destroys illusions so he ' s good against some illusion heroes but thats much harder . the reason I think his winrate is low in pubs is because he can very rarely do anything alone , he ' s all about locking people down in order to let his team mates do work . That kinda coordination is hard in pubs . <| sep |> Well calling for violence is different than doing a bad thing . I forget where I saw it , but one protester said people will have to die for this situation to be fixed . I ' m not sure if she meant being martyrs or calling for the murder of politicians . Either way , being put in the way of danger is serious no matter how you look at it , which means special precautions need to be taken to prevent violence , not supporting statements that call for it .
