Hero's Background Story:
Torment around me. Torment in me. Torment be with me. And let us conquer our foes. They do not understand our pain. Do you? No. Not a soul can. And for that, We shall make them feel the torment... The torment that inhabits my soul.
Guide Introduction:
Welcome to my Lesh's guide. Lesh is one of my fav hero for his AOE play style and for its ease to push so i decided to write a guide to him. I noticed that there are not very many guides to lesh. This guide is also not meant for competitive use as I do not play competitive dota. There are some few notes i want to share with people that will read my guide:
• Feel free to comment about anything, item build, skill build, etc.
• Most likely lesh fanboy

Hp/Mana: 454/338
Hp/Mana regen: 0.73.25 Base regen + 0.48 Str regen/1.05.01 Base regen + 1.04 Int regen

Missile Speed: 900
Sight Range: 1800 / 900
Base Attack Time: 1.7 secs - 0.72 Attacks/sec - 1.38 Attack Cd
Note: As you guys can see, Leshrac got a very shitty base damage which will make some bad time with lasthitting against average player, you have Lighting Storm to solve that problem. Your armor isnt that good nor bad, you have 600 range you shouldn't be diving in your enemies at early levels anyway. For a hero that should be always near the enemies and begin focused you have a pretty low base strength and str gain. Your somewhat good agility solves some of the problems of your low hp at least against physical/mixed damage. Your int can sustain your skills with no problem with the exception of your ult at early levels.

Leshrac is a Aoe Monster, all of his skills are focused to deal Aoe damage, His first skill is Aoe stun with a fairly damage, his second deals more damage if the target is isolated, his third is good pushing tool and his ultimate is why you are so powerful in team fights, his most painful skills are the only ones that needs lesh to be near to target to take full effect, thus making him vunerable to die.

Justification: Seriously, never get this build, you just skip one of the most powerful skills at pushing and killing isolated heroes.

Skills Usage
Item Build:
569/599 Total cost.
Justification: Chicken if doesn't have one, if already there one chicken upgrade it, if already, buy wards if necessary, GG branches for cheap stats and for later finish Magic Wand, tangoes for cheap regen, salve after escaping a failed gank and a clarity to spam. If you bought wards, let the chicken deliver the clarity to you.
or
795/810/825 Total cost.
Justification: Chicken if doesn't have one, Wards if necessary, Circlets to later Bracer/Null, Gauntlets if you think will get harrased/Mantle for better last hitting, Tango for cheap regen and a Clarity to spam.
Personal Build
853 Total cost.
Justification: You shouldn't be using Soul Ring at lvl 1 since 150 hp is 1/3 of your max hp, the 3hp/sec will help somewhat against the harassing, on top you got +50% mana regen, and a branch to ensure good game.
or
449/589 Total cost.
Justification: 3x Branchs to later Magic wand, 1 or 2 tangos(your choice), a clarity to keep lane control, and never forget the courier or if couriers are too mainstream and you like to finish that wand faster, get a stick.

- Any derpshit from Ancient Weaponary/Enchanted Artifacts, Skadi is the best orb a Int hero can ever consider to get, it will take more efforts to take you down, the slow is also hefty, keeps your enemies in place for Split Earth/Diabolic Edict/Pulse Nova. - Rejected/Optional - I've seen people making this for lesh, the 150 HP(you already doesn't have such high hp to use it) for 150 Mana isnt worth as it only able you to use 1 skill(Your lowest MC spell is 95). - Rejected/Optional
- Most of pub's choice, Lesh lacks burst damage, but all of lesh spells are spammable or have some duration, which makes this item unnecessary. - Rejected
- Your highest cooldown is 22, and your mana should be mainly to Pulse Nova. - Rejected
- This item is the least thing you should ever consider to make, it offers almost nothing valuable for its price, with its gold you could be almost with a Guinso/Heart/Shivas/Bloodstone which will be much more helpful. Never ever get this item, only if your team have +2 heavy magic dpsers. - Rejected/Situational
- The 25 MS comes handy, gives you plenty of mana regen, helps you to land Split Earth, also helps you dodge some nasty spells. - Optional/Situational
- Makes you invunerable to physical harm, disables of one of the other team carries, and also make him vunerable to spells, gives some armor, some stats, also ables you to dodge some spells, recommended when there isn't a ghostbuster on the other team/Same for Ghost Scepter except for the enemy carrier disable. - Situational
- This will help escaping, also Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova works while you are invisible, so you can surprise buttsecks - Situational.
- No one likes to have their team losing high amounts of health quickly, they will surely focus you if they are smart and you will die, make this and they will think better before taking you down. - Situational
- You need positioning for your close range skills, as your stun isn't long enough to reach your targets in time to make them crispy, Dagger have more range and a lower Cd, but can be disabled, in the other hand, Force have less range and higher Cd, cheap stats and cannot be disabled and its funny to mess around - Optional/Situational.
- An easy build-up item even if you are feeding like no tommorow, costs less than Guinso/more regen/more damage, its active can be very useful if you want to kill your targets faster and without the fear of retaliation of spells, using all skills on the target hero for the full duration without attacking will do +570/612 bonus damage(Non-agha/Agha against a target with 0 armor and 75% magic resistance) - Optional/Situational.Strategy:
Conclusion:
Here's a replay of mine with leshrac.
I went to mid against huskar, we kept killing each other for 2 times. I have focused in pushing like no tomorrow, eventually out-leveling everyone, instead of making a Bloodstone, i found that guinso with bkb could be more useful
