Hi guys smuggler here!

This guide is an in depth look at “How to Solo Offlane” by the one and only me.

why would you know how to offlane?

Good question! Because I am a solo offlaner. “you name it I can offlane it!” is my motto.
Im 3552 MMR solo offlaner and I play solo offlane for my team. ive had a coaching sessions with purge, WAYTO and KIRKZ (6k solo offlaner). i love the solo offlane because it is the only lane where you not only have to focus on surviving but you have to do so against 3 other players (most of the time). You have to get into the mindset of “COME AT MEEE BROOOO” and among other things you must be aware at all times. It is probably the hardest position to do since one mistake and you’re dead. No back up, no safety, no easy lane, ez mmr, gg wp. By dying in the offlane you are doing what you absolutely do NOT want to do: Feed the enemy carry/supports. If you die in the offlane more then once you have lost that lane. You have such a small advantage over them that any kind of loss means your not going to do very well. But I digress I shall now go over what to expect in this guide.

1. How to Offlane Basics

- Heroes
- Goals
- Mindset
- Positioning


2. Advanced Positioning

- Where to go
- What to do
- Why/when


3. Advanced tactics for 3 heroes

- Centuar Warrunner
- Tidehunter
- Puck

(the reason for these three different heroes is because they all have such different offlane playstyles)

in this guide there will be small videos and images off pathing and what to do where, i also shall be doing a running Q and A section.


So ^ this is basically what im going to do.

what are peoples suggestions to add?
any thoughts on it?
queries?

I don't know if you're going to add this into the advanced positioning section, but maybe talk about the offlane pull. It's a nifty trick that can seriously mess with their pulls.

Looking forward for your guide :D

You probably need to add how to dual offlane, and how to zone enemies' safe laners out from farm.
My face -> ( / *3*)/

this will mostly be focusing on the Solo offlane, dual laning is pretty normal for most people and unless its draft specific like lich bristle then i think most would know what to do.

if your talking about the creep pull? the it only works on radiant offlane and i shall be adding it to that area, if your talking about the lane creep cut or the enemy pull "pull" then yes i shall be adding them also :)

Sounds very good. I know some people who might be interested in reading it.
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.
