Hi,

I just wanted to share this build I've been using with quite some success.

I'm currently at a 13 win streak with Leoric in HL. went from silver 2 to gold 4.

I'm not saying it's the best or epic or whatever, I'm just saying it seems to work for me.

1st pick: Hopelessness
This makes drain hope quite hard to get away from and at the same time it heals you longer.

2nd pick: Willing Vessel
Let's increase that healing a bit more. Now you can heal yourself quite good while bashing skulls and even when they get out of melee range you still damage them and heal a bit more.

3rd pick: Paralyzing Rage
Now we need to make them slower, so they'll stay in melee range and drain hope range longer. that's what we need.

4th pick: March of the Black King
because I like bashing skulls and am afraid to mess up the other ult. so we just keep on bashing right? yup!(you can also activate drain hope just before ulting to get some extra healing while popping skulls)

5th pick: Crushing Hope
ok, we all can relate when that enemy gets away with like 5 or 10% HP. and you are like *aaraarrghh!!!* well this talent together with the extra range and extra slow from previous talents will trigger its effect most of the time. when enemies die because of this you can hear them scream "OMG WTF was that?"

6th pick: Consume Vitality
as I said before, we like healing and we like bashing. So we pick this talent. you can hit as many enemy heroes as possible in a teamfight or just hit like 8 or 10 minions to get a nice heal.

7th pick: Death March
this will activate drain hope to everyone nearby. very lovely in close teamfights. Watch as the hopes and dreams of your enemies will vanish in thin air and get replaced by tears.

comment about Death March:
I'm not sure if this drain hope stacks with the already placed drain hope, but just to make sure I mostly activate drain hope before marching.
