Offlaner
Position 3
You survive the short lane, hit a level timing, and become the reason teamfights have a front line. Feeding their carry two kills is the fail state.
Lane: Soak XP, do not feedFight: Initiation or aura — you start or you tank
Kit: Sticks and regen in lane · A timing item (Blink, Aura, or BKB depending on hero) · TP for the other T1
Strengths
- • Tidehunter, Underlord, Centaur teach the role without needing 300 CS
- • A live offlaner with Blink wins fights the carry cannot start
- • Cuts and pressure win maps without a highlight reel
Weaknesses
- • Ego kills in lane throw the game faster than a poor carry
- • Farming jungle for 15 minutes as a teamfight hero is a missing player
Starter tips
- 1
If the lane is impossible, soak from fog and take a camp. 0–0–6 is better than 0–4–2.
- 2
Buy a cheap regen. Fancy cores wait until you have levels.
- 3
Your Blink or aura timing is the fight. Do not show in river 30 seconds before it.
- 4
Tidehunter is the classroom. Learn Ravage range before you pick a greedy 3.
