Pushing Draft

What's the best pushing draft nowadays?

This is my pushing draft that I have been playing in captains mode, Im looking for a fifth hero to pick. Let me know what you guys think about it.

Jungler: Lycan
Mid: Windranger
Support: Shadow Shaman
Offlane: Bristleback

Its basically a good jungler for pushing, a mid who can push, initiate and carry, a solo offlane hero who can absorb damage in teamfights as well as the best support for pushing in the game. So we have lots of stun, disable, hex, pushing, initiating, a carry and a good tank. What should the fifth hero be? Preferable someone who can safelane with shadow shaman.

Drafts should be changed to the situation, and most drafts with at least a few strong pushers will destroy towers pretty fast. And junglers usually aren't strong, as they weaken your lanes, so you could do something else with them instead. Also, in your draft there's only 1 support. I'd say something like this instead if you don't want to adapt your draft to the situation:

Safelane: Clinkz
Support: Shadow Shaman
2nd Support: Windranger
Mid: Puck
Solo Offlane: Nature's Prophet

Tanks are not required for a good draft, and it's more important to have initiation and stuns. Puck can clear creepwaves pretty fast, gank and initiate. Clinkz together with SS and WR in the safelane will be able to burst down enemies with Strafe and Shackles. Nature's Prophet is a great pusher and with his global teleport he will be taking towers nonstop. Also, Windranger and NP are versatile heroes that work in most situations.

If you don't want to change anything with the current heroes you've picked, i'd say Terrorblade. He destroys towers very fast, and SS works well with most heroes in lane. Or you can try Naga Siren. She is very scary once she's farmed, and she can push multiple lanes at once while also farming in the jungle.

Venge Slardar supports + SF mid + any good safelaner & offlaner

It's funny no one mentioned DP mid she is really strong right now (very underrated though)

I just tried TB in a few games, hes not a bad pick. His illusions allows him to push towers pretty fast with metamorphosis.




I have actually been using DP in many games, she's a great pushing mid. She can clear waves quickly and push towers with exorcism. I just think that windranger does the same thing basically, but she is a better initiator for teamfights and she can easily push towers and get away from them, where as DP can be cought off guard.

What about dragon knight? A reasonably good pusher who also brings an extra stun to the table.

Toss SS out, put in Enigma or Prophet, and some self sufficient carry like Clinx
