No Yes but only if you queue with them (join their party) while online then switch to offline status | ||

I'm trying to improve my party ranked mmr with a friend. We're only playing together and are currently around 3000. Basically we have a super nasty combo of Riki (him) + Crystal Maiden (me) and we're able to win 60 to 70% of our games when we play it. But while I like support, I don't want to play only that and also enjoy carry a lot. So we switch every other game. The thing is, we have a terrible record when I'm on carry and he's on support. My problem is that the type of carries I like the most are farming carries (AM, Morphling, Luna) and I've come to realize that it's just not working well in pubs at our level. My last hitting is decent but not good enough for the early game and then, the mid game often degenerates rapidly and it becomes very hard to find proper farm. On the other hand, I don't want to play pure snowball type of heroes like Riki because I still like my farm. What I'm looking for is recommendation for 3 - 4 heroes that are somewhere in between and good support that goes well with them for my friend. For reference, Luna is currently the hero with which I have the better results but would like to change a bit. tl; dr: recommend me decent pub games not-too-hard-carries-but-hard-enough for dual lane setup with a friend  Thanks! | ||

What support to pair him with is debatable, depending on your playstyle and positioning. Ur unlikely to get kills in lane without some sort of disable/slow, but you are also fairly squishy so you often need some defensive backup too. Obviously you two understand that getting a ton of kills in lane is a great way to snowball a game, so if you feel comfortable with a killing lane something like Shadow Shaman or even lion (really disable-heavy) lets gyro abuse rocket barrage for early kills. Midgame, your ult is on a really short cooldown and its a ton of damage so don't be afraid to use it whenever possible and fight a lot (although if you really hate fighting gyro rices really fast if ur efficient). | ||

I think you problem is the dual lane setup in pubs and how you play it. Assuming you are a duo against a duo, if you pick a greedy carry(not useful early on like AM) and a relatively greedy support(like melee supports or semi carries), you'll insta-lose the lane and the game. CM is a support with super early presence and riki is a snowball mid game monster, it is not surprising for you to win most games. The play style you ask is not what you want initially, you want to win games as a duo lane crusher but also like to farm most of the time. If you like to farm, either you need a very strong support to ward off the opponents(hard to do in 2v2) or ask your friend to go mid and create space for you(gank other lane or push like mad). Then you may have space to farm or got tower gold to itemize yourself. | ||

You can pick almost any carry as long as you build for the mid-game. Such as Juggernaut w/ Phase+Drums or Yasha into Aghanims or Weaver with or without midas into Urn, Treads, and Drums. PA with Phase, PMS, Aquila casual Bracer into Bkb/Basher etc. Other indie choices include Slardar, who is proficient in fighting throughout the game, or Chaos Knight+Tiny if you build racecar. | ||

Of course, disregard if you have space bar mapped to something else important. | ||

Soulrip is on a 6sec cooldown 125 mana and decay on 4 sec for 130. well his mana costs wouldn't be such a big problem if the hero could farm better for example decay doing more damage to creeps or something. He just feels so underwhelming to a lot of other heros. well icefrog also thought undying has mana issues because: Undying * Intelligence growth increased from 2.0 to 2.5 | ||

Also since when did people take such a loving to this thread? This thread is sacred, we don't need 4-5 posts for such a basic question. Yango halp. | ||
