Countering Heavy Crowd-Control Lineup

Now i've been thinking... If the enemy has crazy disables, silences, mana burns, how the hell do i counter this?

I saw a game last night were picks are Invoker, Skywrath Mage, Doom, Tidehunter, and Weaver

Now, how the **** do i counter this? Any hero would just get CC'd to dead. What heroes could prove threatening to these lineups?

You farm, get BKBs and watch as they cry in their beds.

The answer is simpler than i thought.

In low mmr pubs you rarely see a BKB picked up since it "obviously delays the important dmg items". If you get a BKB on your carry every game you basically get 3k mmr for free.

If you get BKB early, you eventually just bring it's duration down to 5 seconds and get rekt when it ends. Actually, most of the time the later you get your BKB the better for you unless you are some Sven or Troll Warlord who get BKB and finish the game.

Especially in the low tier games where players throw everything at the first target seen and you can catch the moment when their scary CC's are on cooldowns(what a pity).

Um Silencer?

The likes of Juggernaut, Naga Siren, Lifestealer, Slark, Abaddon or Omniknight etc, then lay down some heavy BKB action and you're good. Also consider good counter-initiators like Sand King or Earthshaker who can stay out of the action then rock up at the appropriate moment.

thanks for the tip sando!

I like ideas like this, because the map is just so dull. Besides new interactable environments, showcase view is the only way to make the map better.

I think that was the wrong thread Babblu... And double post too! Shame

Anyway, different ways to counter control/disabling line-ups:

• Bait out the big spells then fight when they're down.
• Use a tanky mofo to initiate and soak up their spells, like Abaddon or Wraith king.
• Get BKB/Linkens/Silence and focus the problematic heroes.
• Avoid team fights - rat doto ftw.
• Out-control/disable them - pick up Rubick, Void, Tide, Silencer, etc.
