    doc joferlyn simp

      kill her repeatedly pre level 10 to make sure she reaches it as late as possible

      Goblin slayer

        Raindrops ruin her early on. And yeah, sniper can fuck her in the early laning phase

        one syllable anglo-saxon

          deward their hg obs, with obs lina will always hit q on u and can easily harass u from lowground just because of passive also no vision makes ppl play more carefully
          practice creeblock, u fail a creeblock lina gets creeps on her hg and presses rightclick on u and u cant do shit, while if she fails a creepblock she can't trade with u because she has no passive and mb no vision if she wasnt pulled a ward
          have vision of her at all times so u can dodge slave and lsa
          get a salve because u WILL lose tons of hp on most heroes and lina will try to outharass u the fuck out of the lane to delay ur timings and dominate the lane
          get raindrops as soon as they are available in the shop

          u cant defeat lina 1v1 with most mid heroes, usually u either try to get enough levels to trade farm(tinker, sf, storm) or wait for ur ult to threaten a kill(ember, qop/storm to some extent) after which she will have to play way more carefully
          ideally u want someone to camp ur lane at first levels and get on ur feet after which it will be WAY harder for lina to win the lane, but frequent smoke ganks help too ofc

          or u can pick sniper/aw and lina cant do shit

            Mid Gank

            Marcola

              pick tinker, go 2-2-0-0 biuld. spam laser to win trades, harass her even more than you, get ez kills. win lane. GG

                tinker loses mid to lina

                  Play TA. Hard counter to that bitch. You can win all trades while harassing her with E... Because of the refraction dmg you should be able to outlevel her and kill her as soon as you get traps. Snowball from there on out.

                  Also, she's super weak against mid gankers.

                    ^ I don't know about that to be honest. I don't think a max level psi blade would even reach Lina's attack range alone.

                    jinzo

                      as Mr.B said TA is the best choice, refraction blocks even her ult.

                      yung griphook

                        lina's weakness is that she lacks an escape, so just treat her like a storm spirit and prioritize ganking her early on, especially pre-6

                        Savvy Cat

                          700 range OOV? I don't get it.

                          Chao Vritra

                            have good supports

                            Bazenbelkioysa

                              It's ok to lose mid against lina. If you gank her NEVER dive cz she'll kill all of you if someone tp. Get raindrops and stack some camps

                              Funky Mr. B

                                It works well. Just pull creeps and shoot through them. I don't know the exact mechanics at like super high level of mid play but in my bracket there is much success. She will draw aggro from your creeps as they will run towards his ranged creep, and her not being a hero that goes for stout/pms, she will always be on a losing side of trades considering the refraction and nukes.

                                All depends on the players I guess but in my experience (which is not huge to be honest) Templar Assassin comes up on top in most cases.

                                Use chatwhell=mute

                                  Yea his right. U dont have to win mid vs lina. Its not game deciding

                                  Jacked

                                    Dodge her hadoken over and over

                                    Livin' Real Good

                                      I remember in 6.84 she was like unparalleled mid, and the only competition she had was a broken hero. (leshrac) She still wins most match ups, a good Lina player is a BITCH to fight.

                                      Rain drops is the only thing I can think of. lol
