Hero Discussion - Queen of Pain

Discussion

Akasha the Queen of Pain

Queen of Pain is a highly mobile hero who specialises in dealing magical area damage to the enemy team. She is typically played in the mid lane as a ganker, using her mobility and early kill potential to snowball to victory.

Like most casters Queen of Pain does fall off as the game progresses, however she does have some semi-carry potential thanks to her combination of mobility, decent attack animation, and good intelligence gain.
