I haven't played against a lion player that hasn't used the chimera since the change. This week the chimera is the free hero and the entire top of the leaderboard speaks for itself.
Im currently rank 4 with 13-2 w/l and i used the chimera once.Dont get me wrong she is the strongest hero but you dont need to play her to win as lion.
The main issue with lions is the sparkling.For 32 ap you have 2 units that can easily grab orbs and control the map.With only 2 units you have both map control and orbs.The chimera is mostly overpowered because she gives exactly what a lion comp lack to be strong in every way : insane damages.
Playing the chimera with 2 sparklings mean you have orbs control (unless you are really unlucky),map control and the kill pressure on the enemy hero.That's the only 3 ways to get elexirs and to win fast and clean.
Ram mostly have map control due to the skells war and good damages.Playing the orbs game is hard without gargoyl and that's a 59 ap unit at best.
Wolfmen have few units,so they cant afford to spread,but they have the kill pressure on the enemy hero.They need to take some enemy units down and then they can have both orbs and map control (after turn 2 at best)
