Need opinions about concrete line up, which we think to experiment. Notice that we are not good at all and play mainly for fun, not any leagues etc.
So we are thinking of following line up:
Rhasta, Eartshaker, Beastmaster, Twin Head Dragon and Morphling, with latter being the damade dealer.
All in all these are the heroes everyone (we) likes to play with. We couldn't agree on laning though, now SS is middle alone, THD&Morph, Earth&Beast, with Beast jungling.
any suggestions about replacing one/two heroes?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like hell for the earthshaker if he gets range.

the team looks hard to play early game pressure. Range harrass, 3 lane pushes, etc.

It will work in pubs probably :o

Replace morphling with someone with more range as your DPSer

THD/Morphling seems like an iffy combination and Earthshaker/Beastmaster seems like overkill.

Earthshaker/Morphling and THD/Beastmaster might be a better combination.

SS isnt exactly a good solo hero.

You can however solo morphling passively with tower hugging,
put THD/BM top and Rhasta/ES bottom. THD/BM is awesome at creep clearing with icepath as disable, and once it reach lvl 6, its one hell of a lane. Rhasta/ES are good double disabler combo, if ES can block a path, one enemy guy die for sure. Pretty solid, just need Morph to play right getting wave & stats with chicken buying tango, bracer/band to keep up the survival.

However, if you prefer having THD to solo, then you can have Morph/ES and Rhasta/BM (so one pre-lvl6 disable per lane) i dont think keeping rhasta/es paired while having morph with bm is a good idea, cuz morph and bm both have no real disable early on, and is rather weak to harass.

i still think morph solo is better, thd is much stronger in a 2v2 lane.

Rhasta+ES top sentinel, THD mid solo, Beast bottom/ mid jungle, morph bottom solo, easy. Rhasta and ES work great together with 3 disables between the two of them, they should be top so that ES has access to the shop for energy booster and arcane ring. THD is a good solo hero for obvious reasons, hopefully you're against SF or Viper on the scourge side solo vs solo, you can really slow down these potential powerhouses as THD. THD should go for euls, has quick access to the shop for an early void stone for more nuking potential. Beast is a jungle hero, he should go help top or middle upon reaching level 6. Morph is strong enough to handle a solo lane with wave form and morph, and has great late game potential.

Unless something has changed since .48, beast should never ever lane, always jungle and come out to help at 6.

I'd sub out rhasta personally, he's plainly not that great of a hero imo, dunno what to put in though sorry.

Thanks all for the tips and advices.
We played two games with this line up (one loss and one win), but at our level heroes are not that important I think

.
Some conclusions: Rhasta can't play solo middle. I was Rhasta and both times was outleveled and outfarmed (even I didn't die early) by Nevermore and Viper. ES and beast are good combo, even against range. Morphling isn't bad damage dealer, as we thought.
I think we shall try what Drowsy suggests.
