Lion Synergies (7.41e)
Best heroes to pair with Lion in Dota 2 7.41e, 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 and Wraith King delete whoever he disables, while Meepo and Phoenix provide the AoE that compounds his single-target lock. Dawnbreaker holds the front line. Give Lion a kill-hungry core and his combo converts every fight into a pickoff.
