How to beat Lash

A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.

• 01Stay under overhead cover; Lash needs a clear line to grapple.
• 02Break line of sight during the Death Slam channel to avoid being connected.
• 03Stun him mid-air; he has few escapes once committed.

1. 01Venator out-farms Lash by ~29.7 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Lash looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Lash has sustain (Flog). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
