Lorien is just a weak faction really, especially against Death March AI games, their early to mid game heroes are just weak and worthless with worthless powers, Ents die very easily and probably deals the least siege damage in the game, their talan's also go down very easily, they don't have any resource production boosts except the 10 point power spell, their marchwardens are very expensive and takes a lot of time to upgrade their unit towers. I know the ''it can be deadly in good hands,'' ''You just don't know how to play them'' stuff but in compare to other good factions i think they need some buffs. Especially to Ents, Ents are pretty weak.
All great things to consider! I'm still learning Lothlorien myself, so I've not really played it too much, unfortunately. But aren't there a few eco upgrades for the trees? I seem to recall there's also a couple structure armor buffs, too? So far from what I've been able to gather (which isn't too much!) they seem to work best as a turtling faction, especially considering their structure armor buffs and eco buffs--one of the few factions specifically designed by the devs for this strategy, where you're actually encouraged to spam lots and lots of the base defenses...but at the cost of a lot of micro even for those defenses. That and spamming archers. But this is just what I can gather so far. Overall, it's not a go-to faction for me, as their gameplay style feels a little too unorthodox for how I prefer to play. Good observations, though!
