But they're not released. If they were he can deal with 1 push while the rest of teh team splits up.


Wow you're right! He's the perfect counter to pushing lineups, especially rat dota.

But Phantom Lancer is quite good at rat dota, if not the best

He's too easy to destroy early on if you know what you're doing. Take away his Lane early on and give him no space to Farm and he's completely harmless. If you can Deathball with Heroes like Pugna, Death Prophet, Tidehunter, Timbersaw, etc. then a PL is just wasted space.

A Tinker on the other hand can at least defend against your Pushes and buy some time.

Techies don't work because Necronomicon makes techies completely useless : infinite invis detection for minesweeping.
Strategy guide : Anti-pubstomper guide.
Hero guides : Spectre , Windranger and Clinkz

True, however they can still be of use dealing with early pushes and possible ganking of midlaner going for runes if they forget to place sentry wards.
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.

Kamikaze Earthshaker, Tanky Bristleback or Dragon Knight with BM, Tinker def and push, Meepo and finally Rikimaru (nah just kidding): Anti-Mage hit, hit, ult = rampage.
