If a Loki gets fed, then your team doesn't know how to counter him.

The most common mistake people tend to make is not grouping up when he is around. Especially in Arena is where I see players make this mistake most often, the players don't stick together and the Loki who is skulking about at the edge of the map comes out to pick off the fleeing low HP targets... and keeps doing this until he's going 10/0, and becomes an unstoppable menace.

There are several ways to deal with this. The obvious one is sticking together so that in the event he does try to kill someone, your team can quickly react by focusing him down (CC is amazing against him). Another solution is to "counter-jungle". In Arena, Loki usually farms the buff creeps instead of the waves of minions going across the middle of the map. It's strongly recommended that you gank him when he's doing this early on so he ends up feeding your team, because by the late game, he clears those camps very quickly.

Conquest Loki is much easier to deal with, primarily because you are facing him in a lane, which takes away his biggest advantage--the element of surprise. He can't harass you, and his stealth is very predictable most of the time if you see him vanish. The only thing he can really do in the lane is taunt minions. He won't burst you unless you're out of position or he has a good initiator with him, and that can be countered too.
Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

People are far too quick to throw the word OP around. *cough*ICEN*cough*. As previously stated MULTIPLE times, all it takes is hard-CC to counter him. His ult is only terrible if you are by yourself (Out of position, YOUR fault), low health (ANYONE is nasty at this point...lookin' at you Neith), or squishy. Loki is a very squishy, hit-and-run god. He cant fight straight up against any decent brawler, and if he is becoming a menace then buy a Hide and watch him burst himself down.
Rep me up if I helped!

Better question: Has anyone seen a Loki player who isn't a complete ******? Just had one in arena who was lowest assist on team, yet still every time he got one "omg ks report"... he also managed to beat even an Anubis for the top deaths on team, and with the distraction from his idiotic drama it's a miracle we won. By a whopping 4 tickets.

But it's not limited to arena, either. Conquest as well. There are only two kinds of kills. Kills that go to the *** god, and KS.

Why exactly did we need an invis hero in this game again? Nobody likes playing with him, and nobody likes playing against him. Loki pickers burn in hell. Thanks.
