Old Dota lanes still viable?

[fagel]

Classic Lane Partners Listed as followed with Justifications:

Magma[sk] + pyromancer[lina]
-Burst Damage and relatively short cd + ganking potentials

[earthshaker] + valkyrie[potm]
-ES setup stun for potm/ Es blocks + "right click" auto attack -> Early Kills

pharoah[cw] solos or ...
-CW solos to gank lanes and become megabuff later

pharoah[cw] + [crystal maiden]
-Aggressive lanes + spams from CM aura
Legionnaire[axe] + [crystalmaiden]
-Aggressive Lane + early Axe kills and farms/ if all goes well, CM stack neutrals for axe etc.

devourer[pudge] + [cm/dazzle]
-Aggressive Lane with rot + slow + heal; Shallow Grave adding approx. 300~400 dmg from rot and autoattack

*Arachnia[viper] + [Abbadon] or ...
*[Abbadaon] + [Necrolyte]
-Early tower dive kills + early aggression and kills.

Puck + Magma[SK]
-Used in DotA Alot for Magma's Ult Setup: Magma stuns in and ults. Puck Illusories and silences.
-Puck as Good substitute for Tempest[Enigma]
-I heard that Magma+Tempest Combo is sickly retarded in HoN.
- Perhaps interchangeable for Tempest if Tempest banned in High-level-gaming.

BaneElemental[Succubus] + Potm[Valkyrie]
-Valkyrie roams and distances herself from Succubus. Succubus then initiates with nightmare->arrow
-this is one of the popular that is used in DotA alot currently
-can be used to firstblood in rune checks, ganking etc.

[OLD META]:
*SK LINA
*though still used sometimes in RD picks

[ALL AROUND META]:
CW SOLO OR CW-CM
AXE-CM
ES-POTM
*Axe-Abba-CM
*I remember this trilane used to take out DTS by Ks.int within 20-30 minutes of the game.

[NEW META]:
VIPER ABBA- ABBA NECROLYTE
SUCCUBUS-VALKYRIE

*Abbadon was used in lane alot recently in DotA, but not sure if they use him like this.

I am not sure if these dota lanes are viable in HoN because most of the games
I played were in pubs. so ...

Arachna =/= Viper

They have like, 2 vaguely similar spells and that's it.

yea, but the whole point of necrolyte / viper laning with abba is extreme aggressive play early on the game. e.g. tower diving and being able to get kills or stop them from farming etc.

I am not sure about the highlevel playing in HoN yet but certainly am interested.

[fagel]

is Viper/Necrolyte one of first pick materials??/

[Puchi]

Most of the old lane teams are still very strong there is no puck, so magmus + Puck is not happening But there is maliken and magmus + maliken has worked exremly well for me and my friends, Its not uncommon to get a lvl 1/2 FB with those 2

yea I have not played HoN more than I played dotA. I thought Maliken was a copy of Puck when I saw him in a game. But yea.

I was wondering if:
[not sure if this is a viable strat in HoN, but certainly was in DotA for a while]:
Jereziah+Deflier: Repel + Exorcism.

*maybe probably will be in existence until people recognize to get diffusual blades
with AGI heroes like soul-stealer or notably or notoriously: Valkyrie (who gets diffusual in DotA most of the time)

so far, like I said earlier, I havent seen any competent players yet. even those with 1900+
