How this matchup plays

Running at a Witch Doctor as Leshrac can feel surprisingly difficult. Leshrac’s entire game plan involves being a durable, mobile front-liner who deals sustained damage with Pulse Nova and Diabolic Edict. However, Witch Doctor has the perfect tools to stop this. A well-aimed Paralyzing Cask can repeatedly stun Leshrac, breaking his momentum and holding him still. This brief lockdown is often all the time needed for Maledict to be applied, followed by a Death Ward. Because Leshrac has to be in the middle of everything to be effective, he makes an easy target for these spells which can punish his aggression hard.

This dynamic means Leshrac has to be careful about how he commits to fights. He wants to run at the enemy team, but if Witch Doctor is positioned well, that aggression can be turned around instantly. Leshrac either needs a Black King Bar to guarantee he can't be stunned, or he has to rely on his teammates to initiate on the Witch Doctor first. If Leshrac can get the jump and burst the support down, he'll dominate the fight. But if the Witch Doctor gets his spells off first, he can effectively neutralize Leshrac's impact.
