I noticed my Haunted Mines win rate was low. I realized I was doing something wrong - so I chose a hero I don't normally think to play. I had no knowledge it would work so well! Here is my Haunted Mines Leoric build:



The enemy team had a Diablo, Sonya, and Rehgar for the front line and Tychus and Valla for the backline. We had an Arthas and Leoric for the front line and a Malfurion, Falstad and Sylvanas for the backline.



I was solo lane versus Sonya.



I went with Hopelessness at 1, March of the Black King at 10 Crushing hope at 13, Unyielding Despair at 16, and Death March at 20



At 4 I get Royal Focus and 7 I get Lingering Apparition. Royal Focus was amazing for clearing the minions in the mines quickly and efficiently, as well as hammering the minions in the solo lane. Lingering Apparition allowed me to get right in people's faces and chase those who would of normally escaped.



I went with these level 4 and 7 talents because I figured that I wouldn't be able to use Wraith Walk to get away efficiently because of the Tychus. I imagined I would just be feeding him his minigun timer increase, and I would die more often than not because of it. So I decided to try aggressive E talents. This is how I discovered this build and how well it worked for the mines.



I went March of the Black King at 10 because of their heavy front line and short-ranged backline. Entomb is normally the better choice but I didn't see as much potential with it in this match-up. If you do, get entomb. When it came to "trapping/ganking" heroes, Royal Focus and Lingering Apparition seemed to do amazingly well. I was able to deal a lot of % hp damage to Diablo, Sonya and Rehgar and sometimes right on frozen Valla and Tychus. Using March of the Black King and becoming unstoppable was useful as well when Diablo used Apocalypse and they all bunched up on us.



Primarily what makes this a "Haunted Mines" Leoric, specifically, would be MOSTLY Royal Focus at level 4 for the mines. Lingering Apparition worked great in tandem with Royal Focus and allowed me to be super abusive.



When it comes to doing better on maps you have a bad win rate at - try picking heroes good for the objective :) Give this Leoric a whirl for the solo lane and let me know how it goes!
