Your team-wide strat ideas!

[K0diak]

Share your creative ideas on how to build and play a lineup! All ideas and any discussion are welcome :)


Here's 2 of mine:

(:nymp::arma:)-:deme:-:temp:-:warb:
This is a kongor-rush pusher team. The idea is that Armadon gets snot for the -armor on kong, and that Tempest transmutes a Hellhound. Tempest goes on to solo mid, and Dsham goes solo top.

Proceed to abuse War Cry on tempest elementals, and the dual heal-nukes. Towers start falling like trees, puzzleboxes are built aplenty. GG ;)

(:corr::witc::myrm:)-*situational*-*situational*
Corrupted trilane. Max out conduit and rush a hotbl. Witch and myrm can immobilize the enemy long enough for charges to build on conduit, and all do decent AoE magic damage. 200+ attack damage on level 7, GG ;)

[Farosarg]

Oh you will find out when you are playing against the team that I'm picking for. :P

[joris267]

:jera::devo: long lane, hook > decay > heal > protective charm > double slow => kill. if no1 in lane or you fear being ganked, dev. walks into stacked camps, decays, heal => camp cleared.
:slit: short lane solo, just has to hold his own, needs to get lvls most of al.
:flin: carry of the line up, needs to lvl flare and stun
:plag: support/roamer, he assists the lanes that need it and stacks camps.

now, in a teamfight, if you want to initiate, hook => easy kill and its 4 vs 5
if they initiate, slither uses ulti, flint his flair and gets to a save shooting distance. then devourer and jeriziah, walk in their aoe slow combined with slithers poison and plagues poison effectively stop them from moving (also nice for plagues ulti) when someone is close to dying, heal them or use ulti/charm.

special note on items:
if possible, get :DaemonicBreastplate/:AbyssalSkull:/:BarbedArmor:/:Mock: on :devo:&:jera: this will give them more disruption in the teamfight.

:slit:&:flin: both can use one of the following :ChargedHammer::NullfireBlade::GeometersBane: hammer, for more crowd dammage, blade for even more slow, bane for illusions, since the enemy wont reach you, they dramattically increase your dammage.

:nigh: :engi: :hamm:
:wret:
:hell:

I've been experementing with this one. I'm thinking swap :hamm: out for :glac: so you have a dedicated ward ***** and that way you dont have two carries fighting for last hits. But this lineup is extreemly squishy which is a bit of a concern

[Pat_H]

BUGZ BROZ:pest::nymp::moon::trem::arac:

VAMP TRAMPZ:chro::bloo::corr::damp: (A FOUR MAN TEAM FOR WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE 4 PEOPLE)

2 REEL REAL WORLD CRETURES(Z) :bubb::chip::poll::pand::pred:

[kemp47]

(:valk::succ::hamm:) pretty much I want to rip out my hair trilane follow it up with pretty much anything super cheap like :souls::bubb: solos

oh and this one is just for fun
:bloo::nymp::ramp::bomb::thun: pretty much involves having tons of vision on heroes you shouldn't have vision on and finding them and killing them anywhere on the map

[Decency]

Two simple concepts, both of which have worked before at pretty high levels:

:hell:+:myrm:
:pupp:
:blac:+:tort:


:arac:
:warb:/:wild:/:temp:
:moon:
:andr:+:engi:/:flin:

[Epidemilk]

I'd love to try a team that's really heavy on blink and pseudo-blink

Maybe something like this :mali::bubb::doct::wret::mage:

Or lose some of those for ehh :phar::gaun::myrm::damp::valk::chro:, whoever can keep with the idea of all creeping up together unseen and gang****ing somebody, I guess a stealther wouldn't be totally out of place there

Could also see throwing in one or two who don't actually have their own, but get PK as core :legi::pest::behe::magm::devo::dead::hamm::pyro:

as for you

For maximum ridiculousness don't forget to get Kraken a Charged Hammer after/instead of his Daemonic :P

[DorkBasher]

so i just played a game and as soon as i got in everyone was excited to do a push strat, so we did.

:tort: solo bot, this was me. I rushed sheep stick.
:doct: solo mid, we wanted a gank style hero here.
:temp: jungle, he went nomes and pk
:jera::poll: top lane, polly went orchid and jera went mana ring

basically temp jungled till lvl 3 or so and then went mid and pushed it over. then temp and doctor went around gank pushing the all the other towers.

we had mega creeps in all lanes by 30min and they managed to push zero towers.

great success i think.

[Thobias]

One of my favorite teams is:
:accu::soulr: : Tough lane to kill. Send these guys to the long lane and make sure they carry tp's for helping top if needed. Otherwise just sit in lane and not die.
:pupp: : Mid and farm farm farm. No real need to gank, just need him to get big.
:deme::zeph: : Short lane. Very deadly against the right heroes with gust + heal. Also very hard to initiate against, especially once zeph hits 6. With a triple stacked pull zeph can get HotBL and chase boots very quickly and start pushing towers.


Team fights are pretty simple. It's tough to initiate against a zephyr with 3 healers. There's not much cc aside from puppet so I suggest using zephyr to bait. As long as he soaks up some nukes puppet can put out a lot of damage. This team goes for counter-initiation rather than ganking.

[ChikenMcTest]

:defi: - Mid
:balp::engi: - Long Lane
:jera::poll: - Short Lane

Balp and Jera both get mana rings, then the whole team can just wreck towers and never return to base.

[Axas]

Team Distract 'em
:nymp: :ophe: :moon: :fayd: :andr:

[K0diak]

:defi: - Mid
:balp::engi: - Long Lane
:jera::poll: - Short Lane

Balp and Jera both get mana rings, then the whole team can just wreck towers and never return to base.

I would swap that engineer for a Demented Shaman. Healing wave on balphagores minions is funny. And Demented+Jera on the same team is just amazingly good in midgame :)

[K355U]

:deme::jera: for bot hellbourne/top legion, Slow, healheal = raped (Against melee carry)
:tund:/:pebb:/:krak:/:thun:/:bomb:/ w/e good disabler/ganker/nuker
:accu::soulr: for the lulz or :slit::pred: :P

[Galstaff]

:fors::balp::temp::warb::ophe: So i heard you liek minions? (inb4 :behe: )

[K0diak]

:vind::mage:

:fayd::witc:


What's this "mana" you're speaking of?

[_Ricochet_]

:scou: As the ward ***** and long lane
:scou: in long lane with :scou:
:scou: mid
:scou: bot with :scou:

while all of you build codex.

[Boatmurdered]

:warb::thun::phar::bomb::vind::ophe::sand::nymp::g lac:

and of course Aluna. Pick whichever 5 you want, and call it Team Global.

[WhaleTits]

so i was wondering. does tempests' meteor work through chrono's ult? If so, then that's an instant -30% hp to all heroes Chronos ults if they coordinate it right. Using chronos purely to initiate, how bout getting him a restoration stone to double the length of his ult, so the meteor does a full 8 seconds (42% hp). Then Tempest pks in and ults for even more stun. Then proceed to win.
