Lanaya with enough points in refraction, he combos and you don't take damage, and without sandstorm he's squishy. Though it's not exactly outlaning, more breaking even. | ||

The aoe on the caustic is so large, and if you get careless and the sk gets like 2-3 creep hits up and you get stunned and they explode you can basically just insta-die. I played against once with huskar, and while i didn't die in lane, i felt like i was getting outfarmed simply because i had to be so careful when the creeps weren't under my tower. Is there a way to play to beat this? Maybe a hero suggestion? 1st of all: call for gank/dual lane if needed. getting 3rd skill simply means that most likely there is 0 point into sand storm. an extra hero to do some rune camp is the best thing to deny his regen 2nd: try to harass him using orb walk/spells (u was huskar) and keep him off the creeps from very level 1. 3rd: aggro the creeps so ally creep and enemy creep will split into 2 layers, gathers at 2 range creeps. this way caustic will have less effect. 4th: give up rune control and pull creep wave near your own tower by over denying | ||

Even Lanaya won't do great because he could just get a level of sandstorm to burn refraction in lane if he is smart. Just get a ranged hero or exceptionally tanky hero that can bottle crow and trade harass like DK or anchor smash Tide. You are also probably going to need someone to help you with rune control. Although unconventional you could mess with SK by putting a Dark Seer against him as DS should have the advantage in harass and rune control, you just have to watch out for his level 6 combo. | ||

Personally i think having enable them in 'Latest' version of -cm instead of 'tournament' is a better way to solve this but i guess Valve is treating current running tourneys as testing ground for TI2. | ||
