Triple ranged tri in comp play?

[[D0G]chaR`]

Why is it that this is never seen in comp play?
Something like a VJ-witch-FA seems incredibly powerful, esp to counter a trilane that has a melee carry in it.
In any dota replay ive watched ive never seen this happen either & i really cant see why not.

I guess it's because with melee heros it is much easier to last hit, and also because str heros scale extremely well especially if they get a good amount of farm.

But again I'm just guessing, so I don't really know.

[joe_mama]

well honestly i think its mainly because fa cant out carry TDL/sw/chronos

well, thatd be true if we never saw a ranged carry trilane, which we do. Yet these always have a melee semi support (behe/magm) or atleast a semi ranged (myrm/andro) in them. Ive literally never come across a tri w 3 full ranged heroes.

I was just looking at a few DotA replays and iv noticed that raged tri lanes are really common. I think its because there are only two ranged carries in HoN that work well in a "all ranged" tri lane, Sniper and FA.

If there were more ranges carries, Drow Windrunner Medusa, we'd most likely see a "all ranged" tri lane.

Windrunner aint a Trilane Carry. Windrunner always takes the Solo Lane.

I suppose thats one explination yeah. It's kinda suprising to not see them in those tris either though :|.
Like even when EG trilaned w puppet, they added moraxus rather than another ranged.

OT: a hero like windrunner would be amazing for hon to imo

Tri-lanes are designed to get farm to heroes that would not normally be able to farm. However its not that ranged carrys have never been done in tri-lanes, its less common.

- typical trilane supports.

Now what about possible ranged carrys for trilane?
?
?
doable
?lol
:fors:very possible
meh


Options just dont seen as good as lets say,

thats not what i was talking about.
We see plenty of fa-flint-puppet trilanes, yet they always add add a melee to those rather than having 3 ranged.

I'm pretty sure a tri-lane of Glac/Voodo/FA/Witch has been done more then once.

[Killuahxh]

because magmus/behemoth have stronger aoe stuns that help in the tri lane... Voodoo Jester/Glacius/Andromeda stuns dont compare and Witch Slayers stun isnt even as strong as magmus lava surge or a behemoth block.

[[LsE]Hsssh]

I think OK ran such tri lanes all the time with Mag1x on FA/Flint.

[[oi]potoBest]

I've seen windrunner in a trilane, though she usually gets a solo

same thing with medusa

we have tryed trilane with arachna and soul reaper. Reaper game was totally fail, coz friend bought frostfield plate, should have gone for hp items imo. Arachna games was great succes.

That would be true if behe/magmus were exclusively used for trilanes w a ranged carry, which isnt the case.
Even so, doesnt explain why we even see moraxus in a tri rather than smth ranged.


And if anybody says that you've seen it done, can you link a replayid or vod please?

Yeh but we're talking about competitive play. Ive trilaned versus an arachna tri to before, yet thats kinda irrelevant.

[man_guy]

There's only one explanation for it. They needed a tank that couldn't fit in the other solo lanes.

[[MFeS]TDA101]

Arachna is significantly worse than Drow and Arachna is level dependant while Drow is farm dependant. Arachna isn't even worth a tri-lane. We tried it once in a BD and failed.

Some team ran a tri lane, sadly they lost Q_Q

I enjoy seeing those types of tri lanes, always interesting to see how the game plays out.

Dual ranged alone makes it pretty easy to throw in a melee and melees like Sven and ES are insanely strong in trilanes.
