  Leomord always feels like a Honda Civic for me, like even when he's not the flashiest or most meta jungler, he's still, somehow, almost always a very reliable and consistent pick

  What I really like about Leomord as the jungler is that you can use first skill + retri. As soon as you tap the retri button, the first skill immediately casts again, doing retri and skill damage at the same time, making you have more leeway to just retri the neutral objectives.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69watr2TMoc&amp;t=623">10:23</a> play lukas. Yeah lukas got nerf as a jungler but I really don&apos;t feel that nerf. It&apos;s just that you get your ultimate less frequently in early game. That&apos;s not really a problem since you are just farming most of the time in early game.

  As a Leo main, I can&apos;t possibly stress enough as to how awkward leomord feels rn. I main paq, nolan and martis (yes, for cc immunity) and It is difficult to keep up with Assassin junglers at this moment when it comes to jungle clear. I still however use him as a rather &quot;safe pick&quot; cause his objective secure is arguably the best (s1+retri) but also his tankiness is insanely good (i think the hybrid def increase was reduced by just 10 points, don&apos;t quote me on that), the only real nerf he received was his reduced damage on creeps which basically created this speed difference. An advice i can give you when it comes to this itemization that helps to somewhat reduce this issue is to rush fury hammer immediately then go into boots then war-axe. You don&apos;t need to upgrade the fury hammer to hunter strike. It jus gives you enough pen to clear jungler faster which is what he basically needs rn. His usual build is (Tough boots&gt;Fury Hammer&gt;War Axe&gt;Bruteforce&gt;Endless battle&gt;Queen&apos;s wings; and replace the fury hammer with either Malefic Roar if the enemies are tanky or just go for a defence item depending on who you&apos;re struggling to deal with.

  Reason why I like Leomord is because of his sustain and he can carry games too. You&apos;ll think you&apos;re dead already, but all of a sudden, you got your HP back

  I always played Leomord in the EXP Lane since his release.<br><br>Some of his previous patch notes were meant for Lane Clearing by adding more base damage to Skill 1.<br><br>Then they gave him a jungling speed buff in exchange of removing his Shield.<br><br>I prefer playing Leomord in the EXP Lane. He falls off hard in Jungle, mostly in late game. In the EXP Lane, battlespells is a huge game changer for him such as Vengeance, which made him withstand late game clashes more effectively than Jungle.<br><br>Leomord is still a Fighter but his Mobility in Rotation is what makes him weak. His base movement speed of 240 and high cooldown speed for a basic dash (12-10 seconds) is what pulling him out of the Meta.<br><br>Compared to other fighters, their dash is 10 seconds and some has extra benefits like Freya Crowd Control and Shield, Thamuz Skill 1 reset, hell even Guin who has a long CD on her dash can just skip the timer by just hitting Skill 1.<br><br>Some would say that Leomord deserves that 240 base movement speed because he has a Horse but his ULT is the only thing that makes him Reliable and mostly used in Clashes and without it, he&apos;s useless.<br><br>I wish that they buff Leomord base movement speed or bring back the lower CD on his dash to give him better Rotation but nerf the base movement speed bonus on the Horse to balance it out.<br><br>I miss the Shield and his unique Finisher Passive but the new passive works well to have more build options.
