Lion Synergies (7.41)

Best heroes to pair with Lion in Dota 2 7.41, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.

Lion's Hex + Spike chain removes a hero from the fight entirely — he wants a carry or nuker who cashes in the lock. He pairs best with snowball cores and AoE follow-up: Spectre (54.3%) and Wraith King (53.8%) delete whoever he disables, while Meepo (53.2%) and Phoenix (53.1%) provide the AoE that compounds his single-target lock. Dawnbreaker (53.0%) holds the front line. Give Lion a kill-hungry core and his combo converts every fight into a pickoff.
