You have that backwards, ProtonZero. In dota, lifesteal auras only work for melee, wheras items that give the wearer lifesteal work for everyone. It's because lifesteal "auras" are based on the skill "Vampiric Aura" from Warcraft 3, which only affects melee units, while lifesteal items are based on the item "Mask of Death", which works for both melee and ranged heroes.
