Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, the carry player for Team Spirit, considers Lifestealer the strongest hero in the current meta. According to him, Lifestealer can outplay other carries during the match.

The world champion made this statement during an interview at DreamLeague Season 22.

"In my opinion, right now, all other carry heroes except Lifestealer are trash. We have super-meta heroes like Sven, Gyrocopter, Luna, Naga Siren, and so on. Viper and Razor are not often picked as offlaners in the current meta, so Lifestealer looks good, thanks to his characteristics. He can outfarm most other heroes in this position in the current patch. Of course, there are a few counters in the meta, but you can play"

According to Yatoro, Lifestealer is currently really strong, although he acknowledges that there are counters against him. Despite that, Lifestealer shows incredible results in matchmaking.

"I think on LifeStealer, you just have to run and hit enemies through right-click, chase them. And on LifeStealer with Radiance, you can just farm, knowing that time is on your side. Radiance is just a broken item that gives 25% evasion and at the same time burns enemies, so I believe it is much better than Desolator"

In addition, Yatoro mentioned that Lifestealer becomes even stronger when using Radiance, making farming much easier.

Recall that earlier Yatoro talked about how the defeat against Gaimin Gladiators at DreamLeague Season 22 affected Team Spirit.
