neat mechanic for sure, but LD gets radiance in that same time.
the damage off bfury dagger is usually over-estimated, it's not very viable without items like divine rapier.

alright game has started
newbie is running:
phx, invoker, enchuantress, ld, beastmaster
outer t1's are slated to fall before 16m before the real pushing strength comes in form of levels and radiance.

col is running:
wisp, pa, earth spirit, axe, bat
this is a global strat with a twist of a tough core lineup and stalling tactics available. pa's progress is the crutch of this strategy. will we see armlet PA? lol.

invoker has chosen QW to counteract any pushing by col as well a good thing to have for wisp.
his comeback potential from a bad laning start is quite low

on the other side, pa is having a good start with early boots with help from wisp, leaving ES to fend off the pressure from chaun's enchantress. as a result of all this, LD is getting an ideal start, slated for a 17 min radiance.

col just heavily rebuffing a fight at top lane! 5-man galore

newbie is losing mutliple heroes top, consisting of the early game push duo of BM and enchantress. col simply brings numbers and ulties to the table in lasso and axe (with an early vanguard).

axe will be having a blink dagger before 15m, especially with his ancient farming.

meanwhile, LD has taken a free tower bottom and is farming jungle quite madly. at around 600gpm currently, with axe following quite closely. that is a fat axe with all kills factored in.

We see some glimpse of alliance playstyle with the heavy neutral ricing from col.

So does the fact that Lone Druid is just farming away mean this game is a lot more even than it seems?

I think newbee should group, try to disable daggers with radiance and take some objectives.

after many cooldowns, newbie has taken a t2 top. ld is hitting tower while the rest of the team (invoker, phx) are trying to get spells off and get away with more than they should be.

PA for col has been doing quite well. phase wand drums with 1500, roaming with 3 others as newbee loses one side of towers and hao on LD farms the other side that has alraedy been stripped of its towers on col's side.

all this split farming eventually catches up with newbie as col is able to move in and hold LD and friends in place, buying them much needed time and money (now 2600 for PA). LD with his death is now sitting on par with axe
