Vainglory Topic: Is Lyra OP

I agree with Pro's explanation of Lyra's abilities. My objective is to prove Lyra can be defeated. 1. Crucible/Reflex Block: These two items are probably the 2 most needed items in a game with Lyra. For Lyra to effectively use her B, she needs to be in the range of heroes. It's common sense that she will use it right at the start of a team fight when the heroes are near, so it is easily predictable for the team support to use a crucible, or for laners and junglers to use their personal reflex blocks. After the B is blocked, heroes like Reim, Glaive, Krul, Skye, Blackfeather, and many more using their abilities(CP heroes) and basic attacks(WP heroes) can destroy Lyra.[1] 2. Silences/Stuns: This is also an effective way of defeating Lyra. Preventing her from even using her abilities is a perfect solution as she relies a lot upon her abilities as she is a CP hero. Stuns are also a solution as it stop Lyra's basic attacks and her abilities which leaves her completely vulnerable to enemy heroes.[1] 3. Atlas Pauldron: To even further disable Lyra, after countering her B, Roamers can get an Atlas to slow down Lyra's basic attacks as well, leaving her dependent on 1 ability: Her A. 4. Burst Damage: Tension Bow heroes can dish out large chunks of damage every couple of seconds. Along with this, Lance's A as WP and Saw's A as CP do horrendous amounts of damage. Heroes that can defeat her or help defeat her: 1. Adagio(WP): Adagio weapon power is extremely dangerous if you've ever seen him in a BR. He has the same range as Lyra (6.8)[2]and with his basic attacks can remain a safe distance away from Lyra's B, and attack faster than her with a Tornado Trigger which is a part of his build. Along with his A, which can heal other heroes, and his B which can buff himself or others, he has his Ult which can stun heroes. He is a truly dangerous hero in front of Lyra.[1] 2. Taka(WP): Taka's Ult is faster than Lyra's B as stated in my source. Along with a reflex block, WP Taka's basic attacks will melt Lyra. A standard build for WP Taka is Sorrowblade and then Bonesaw along with boots and armor.[3]The weapon power damage is 150 and 30 respectively. Along with 40% increase of attack speed and armor shredding, it doesn't take long for Lyra to be killed. 3. Catherine(Roam/CP): CP Catherine is an extremely dangerous hero. Her stuns (A) do an incredible amount of damage and at the same time stops the enemy hero from doing anything at all. Her B is extremely powerful as it "Activates a pulsating bubble that burns nearby enemies and deflects damage above 77 (+7 per level) to nearby enemies. Each deflection reduces the shield duration by 0.5 second, and if it's overdrived the damage reflected by this ability is increased by 25%. This ability can melt heroes that are dishing out enormous damage like Lyra."[4]Her Ult silences and damages all heroes. Playing her CP makes her extremely dangerous as all her abilities do immense amounts of damage. 4. Lance(WP) Lance's A stuns heroes as well as doing a ton of damage as WP. Along with this, if his B is overdrived and activated, it ignores all negative buffs and reduces the damage dealt to him. [5]Also, he is extremely tanky as he is designed as a Roam hero, making him hard to gank in lane and extremely tanky during team fights. 5. Celeste(CP) Celeste's high damage early game is key in keeping Lyra away from her farm which allows her to get built. Celeste's B also helps stun Lyra which is highly effective combined with her A. Her burst damage is extremely good as well, because using her A at in the same place twice does extra damage. Along with that her A provides vision in bushes and other areas, reducing the need for flares by the team support.[6] 6. Reim(CP) Reim is notorious for being one of the best junglers in the game especially against melee heroes. Reim's A does pre-damage and post-damage as well, making him a great fighter in the middle of a team fight. Along with his A, Reim has his B with roots the hero in place. His Ult does crystal damage and slows heroes as well. In addition to all of this, Reim's basic attacks give him fortified health making it extremely difficult to kill him [7]Using his A after reflex blocking the B from Lyra is super effective especially when Reim has a Broken Myth and Eve of Harvest. 7. Saw(CP) Saw CP is extremely dangerous, as all of his abilities do enormous amounts of damage. Saw's A, also known as "the shank" can deal anywhere from 200-1000 crystal damage. Saw's B slows enemies and damages them at the same time. Saw's Ult, although slow, can release extreme amounts of burst damage. 8. Vox Her silences are super effective 9. Kestrel CP Kestrel's A chunks heroes, and her B followed by A chunks as well as stuns if the hero is standing in the mist 10. Phinn Phinn's Ult can bring Lyra out of her B if necessary. His B gives fortified health to allied heroes around him, and his A can stun heroes for a short period of time. I have named 10/25 heroes that can somehow stop Lyra, along with several items that can help negate some of her abilities. I look forward to Pro's rebuttals of my arguments and closing statements as I will do for his. (Pro....may I ask what rank you are in the game just out of curiosity?)
