Especially since they fixed it so you can't trap the bear at level 1 anymore. In your example (just curious btw, what were the other heroes?) drow/puck have no way of stopping you (especially if drow doesn't go level 1 frost arrows) and you can probably get a double creep wave pull at level 1 against them. Do this and you'll force them to use their regen early (bad for them) or miss xp (also bad for them). You'll also probably be level 2-2.5 depending on how well you did with this which is exactly the lead you need to be able to be fine in lane. Just worry about getting xp after that, then when they are severely underleveled get friends and kill. Also as an aside, puck/drow both need items to have any kind of impact in mid game so you have to realize that by laning together they are killing their own midgame. EDIT: Oh and also remember xp range is about the same as the bear's leash range, so just cs at max range and use only the bear to make it so the enemy has to move forward to harass you. I probably should have said this in my original post but I was solo in the safe lane, the Drow and Puck where offlaning. The biggest problem wasn't getting exp (I made sure not to push the lane) or even getting some last hits. The problem was that they kept harassing my bear and I couldn't really pull it back or do some harass of my own because of the Frost Arrow slow. This meant I either had to resummon my bear or send it back to the fountain the heal up, the latter hurting my ability to last hit. Maybe I'm complaining over nothing, but vs most lanes I can use my bear to harass and my hero to lasthit. Drow's slow just seemed really good at 7 seconds duration. For what it's worth, the other heroes where a Crystal Maiden, Invoker and Phantom Lancer on the opposing team. Our team was Ursa, Riki, Viper, Broodmother and me on the Lone Druid. We eventually won because for some reason we kept winning teamfights, probably because me and my bear kept getting focus fired (mostly by Drow, who destroyed me) while Riki and Ursa bursted everything down. | ||

CK wisp is a common due lane as they can kill pretty much any solo in the game depending on the stun duration from CK. It is common to counter that with a dual mid of your own, as in 2v2 ck wisp isn't as strong. | ||

Letting storm get that much farm so early seems not worth laning like that T_T | ||

Not normal but it's "meta" on dota aswell. Dual stun mid isn't unheard of. You typically run it when you intend to kill, otherwise I find it's a waste. | ||

A long time ago. First they had it that bottle crow got you 2/3 charges on bottle, then they removed it completely. | ||

Haven't watched or played Hon in over a year so not sure what's going on there but I was wondering why 2-2-1 is never used in Dota. Clarification: By 2-2-1 i mean the dual safe lane, dual mid, solo offlane Right now most common laning is dual mid jungle solo short and long lanes. Support in mid typically roams with bottle for runes and to help other lanes as necessary | ||

i enabled open mic in dota, assigned a hotkey and did the same in the steam settings (same hotkey). mic-check of steam is fine, but dota still ignores my mic. if i disable open mic, dota shows me the crossed out mic symbol ingame, when i enable open mic dota doesnt even show that im speaking and just ignores me. i can make some screenshots in case my descriptions arent easy to follow. so do you guys have any other ideas how to fix this? | ||
