Strengths
As a fighter, Lola is favoured into assassin, artillery, thrower.

- With your scenic-route super that catches him in a pincer you focus Tick: Tick has the lowest HP in the game.

Draft advice
Lola is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.
Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.
When not to pick
Skip Lola when the map layout works against the fighter role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
