      Offlane is the new safelane, how do people not do well offlane anymore in 2k17?

        how to not die??

        first you need vision on the side nc to prevent any potential gank/harassment, if the duo support is actively harassing you, ignore them and get iron talon asap after first few farm. they will eventually lose patience and move to your midlane or safelane to gank, then u can move back to lane, otherwise, move there only to flash farm with skills or when creeps move to your twr (if their carry is shit and keep pushing)

        if you play sandking, make it duo offlane, ask someone to pick silencer / undying. sk + either of them can steamroll the offlane easily.

        very rarely people play slardar offlane now, he is now best played as pos 4 roamer, and can easily get dagger near 13 min mark with iron talon.

        otherwise, heroes below

              I thought slardar is just a bad offlaner in a 1v3, but what do i know?

              Erdal Kömürcü

                stay in trees , block camps , pull if you can , aggro when someone +6k saying these ''wow such a great info thanks mate'' but when we say ''i knew these nub..''

                lpfeeder420

                  just go jungle !! better than offlane la

                  this is the most retarded shit u can do i hate players who do this, and its usually just low skill players or players who are forced into offlaning and have no clue about laning on it because then their supports pull 1-2 times and then start roaming and u lose mid and safe lane and their carrys free farming while u got 1-2 levels in woods and boots congrats

                    nobody prevents u from coming out of the jungle the moments supports show their muzzle elsewhere

                      cooky what role do u play most now?

                      🍩🍪Cookie🍪🍩

                        offlane, since i finished learning that now, now im starting roaming support.

                        since if you ask me, the hardest 2 roles are offlane and roaming support.

                        anyone can pick/play them, but not many people can be successful with them

                                                You been watching pro players? I believe switching from jungling to lane is the right thing to do. Enigma and Dark Seer is super strong against trilanes, because they can jungle well and so avoid those ganks. Universe plays them a lot.

                                                Regarding Trilane vs slardar it's different with the heroes u are against tbh. Tell me a matchup and I can say what I would do.

                                                I'm a smurf spamming sniper tryna wreck kids as a sniper who plays support or jungle or mid or safelane carry or offlane or position 4 roaming. I feel this CV makes my input valid or not?

                                                (Against some trilane there is nothing u can do at all and just have to jungle or get what u can from the lane for when it ever pushes.) Dying once or twice for important levels and justified farm AND keeping the all three heroes busy with you for a long period of time is always good because yo are creating space for your team and not allowing those two annoying supports to gank ur midlaner.

                                                      you can do it if you have to u just spam talon and crush and then go to shrine or whatever. it basically reduces ur map presence to nil though especially if you actually use crush (unless u buy some clarities)

TBH I was out of the lane from level 4-5 so it put pressure on their safe which they decided to leave alone for some stupid reason.

                                                                                            ....was a good game.

                                                                                              or is there any other trick?

                                                                                              since if they can 100-0 me, then they can probably do the same in lane while i attempt to steal exp behind trees

                                                                                              This comment was edited
