Bakasura's best role

Personally, I prefer him in the solo lane. He's great as a jungler, but he's sort of... lacking there. Sure, he can gank well, but someone like fenrir, fancytoes or nemesis can pull it off much better. He stands as an assassin that is very hard to gank, like I have been ganked by 2 as i hit five and got a double kill. So really, I think he's a solo laner. Your thoughts?

I like him most as Jungler.

I personally enjoy playing him as a Jungler with the usual team I go in with (3-4 clan mates, with 1-2 randoms). I did get in a little solo short laning in my last two games when that recent patch was causing people to disconnect all the time. He definitely did well holding a lane, but I had a Jungle Item build and I think that hurt me quite a bit.

A few things
A) He's best at jungle. His solo role is definitely good because his true damage counters armor stacking (most solo people rush mystical mark), but that's countered by health, and bruisers have exceptional base damage to be able to still perform well.
B) He may not have the best ganks, but he has pure damage, and with hastened fatalis, will still get a kill. Additionally, he's one of a select few counter junglers, including arachne, thor, and nemesis. He kills his opposing jungler and takes farm easily.
