I just recently qued as 5 in dota 2, I banned out the obvious heroes NP, Wolfman, can't hold all these spells guy, etc. our team was wind runner, enigma, disruptor, naga siren and lion( this last pick don't really matter) anyway. Naga ultimate setup for enigma black hole (obviously with his E ontop of it perfectly) plus disruptor kinetic field right after hole with his ultimate. Seems broken. Let me just say that naga ultimate is really imba. So easy to land and follow up. Most people use it as an escape. Used offensively wow alot can screw you in this game. It damn naga ultimate. Thoughts?

Really good lineup, I like it.

After Naga Siren uses she's ultimate, it's really easy for anyone to land on their spells.

Yeah, that's true, also sad, a lot of people use that ultimate just to run away instead of using it to initiate a teamfight.

Also, what if you could replace that Lion with a Earthshaker or Shadow Shaman? Would also work well.

For on-paper purposes ...

Crixalis for Lion?


Although it'll be fun to watch if the Naga Siren messes up, guess we'll all watch it DotaCinemas Fails of the week compilation ^^
storm, earth and fire ... heed my call

Episode 12. Naga completely screws over an enigma ult.

As for the lineup, I think that if you throw in a dark seer in place of wr and add in an sf it would be godly.

having good team fight does not win games. Naga is your only cary and is best when used with another semi cary. The other team takes natures and tinker to stall for anti mage to get his six items you lose. Team fight is good but not every thing. Good heros are not heros that fill there role well but are heros that can play many roles.

Example: shadow shaman can push creeps and off lane with his q, team fight and push towers with r, support and gank with e and w.

Basically you team has no late game and ok pushing. No smart team would team fight vs that.
My lone druid starting items are 12 Iron wood branches, 6 for the hero and 6 for the bear. Even if the bear does not get stats more twigs are OP on any hero.

You force teamfights then. Initiate on them. If they turtle forever though, that would be a problem. Worst comes to worst, take every single chance you get to kill someone overextending. Turtling takes a toll on the farming ability of the carry since they would have to be very secretive and safe while your team can roam and have amazing map control.

Have been part of similar line-ups before, and Dark Seer can make it even more lethal. The team fight is pretty ridiculous with a bit of co-ordination. It's not unbeatable...if Naga gets banned then it's straight out of the window.

If you do end up having to fight against it, it's somewhat lacking in damage late game, and/or against BKB or you can get stuck in and tear them a new one early game. When it comes to the actual fights, good silence powers + focus naga can stop that combo from taking off.
