Strong Lineup? Dota 1 in General Discussion
WENGKS

    We've been playing a lot of betting games to make ourselves better.
    And we've come across a team who picked a lineup that consisted of :
    DK ,Treant ,LoA, Dazzle, Spectre.
    They first banned Od and Naix

    Treant LoA Dazzle just Perma heals DK While Spectre freefarmed they seemed so unstoppable. We just can't kill any of them. There's just no damage.
    After we lost we copied this lineup and snowballed 2x by far.

    So how do you counter this lineup?

    Totentanz to The King: M ...

      You might not have damage, but they don't either. You could win by ratdota, a stronger late game with 3 cores or just a very good teamfight lineup like Enigma ET etc.

      Zatara

        That is a 4 melee team also and I think they could be countered pretty easy.

        SF mid, DP off lane, Trilane bottom with Alchemist, ES, and CM

        ^^ that lineup would beat that team

        Quick maffs

          rat dota is always the answer

          Zatara

            Spec and DK could not out carry SF Alch and DP so late game you win. Plus that tri lane would be a bitch to go up against. If ES landed some good ults and SF and DP come in and ult, that's a guaranteed wipe.

            Plus the lineup that ya'll got beat with has 2 disables. DK stun and tree ult. That's it. Not enough disable to be good against a lot of lineups actually.

              Weaknesses , in no particular order

              1. No off-lane presence
              2. No rune control
              3. No Map control/ganking potential (next to zero burst dmg)
              4. Weak at making lane rotations, counter ganks and punishing tower dives.
              5. Overall weak lane control, hard to zone out heroes. Except for a spec,treant, dazzle tri lane which jsut means it is very easy to force certain core heroes in that lineup to be underlvld and scale off much faster in their usefulness.

              General Counter Strats
              1. Rat
              2. Pick-off oriented
              3. Push oriented
              4. Combination of the above 3.
              5. Roaming/smoke ganks
