Just got out of a CM match where I got to do the picks for the team. It was my first time being captain so it felt good finally having control for once. We had this russian on our team and who was typing in those weird looking letters and I'm pretty sure the game would've been over before it even began if he had gotten captain. It was a pub so we kinda had some flaming going on during the chat but we got it together and pulled it off.

Except for one thing that was bugging me. Me, Sven and Jakiro trilaned bot against the enemy Lone Druid who was soloing. However to stay safe he constantly kept sending that stupid bear in our jungle to pull our wave and it was driving me insane. No amount of auto attacks and stuns were able to take it down and we even tried pulling our camp but he was using the bear to interrupt that as well. In the end we won the lane, I came out the jungle as soon as I hit level 6 and we said screw it, we have 3 stuns, let's just start raping this kid, and so we did, resulting in our Sven being pretty fed early game. But still I'd like to know any tactics people use to counter that Lone Druid tactic with the bear constantly pulling.

if you are up against lone druid, get a counter to him, cause he is always going to pull if he is good. 1 hero that can tank the creep wave, for example, dark seer and axe or centaur. they can just tank the wave while the other 2 follow the creep wave and attack their tower, or the neutrals he pulled into.

Ward the camp, that way he is forced to buy sentrys to pull. Once you realize he has counter warded then counterward. You should also pull your lane as well. He wont be able to go in on a trilane. If you see him going solo, have an agressive trilane. Sven stun, jak stun, and you should be able to kill him early in his ranged form. If he pulls then push the tower with heros like chen, enigma...

a simple tactic that works in pubs from time to time:
pick rubick and lift the bear on a cliff :D

He can just return or re summon him back.

At level 1 rofl?You can't,and you will not likely gain any XP with the bear on a cliff,meaming that you can't return him at lvl 3.
