I can definitely see mag. Can push, farm, teamfight, scale. All you have to do is manage mana. You will rarely get solo picks on enemy pos 1 but they're going to get freefarm anyway. Cool.
Weaver also seems like a nice greedy pick. Axe can jungle fast if he gets shut out.
no void doesnt require any allies who are good smh, it just requires your team not to entirely depend on your chrono to win, so if you get a pickoff or 2 using the chrono you can easily win the fight afterwards.
and i think that slark kinda stuggles against offlaners if he doesnt have a skilled and a well picked support with him
ah wait pos 3. sry .
If slark is particularly the one you want to counter, a bloodseeker offlane is a niche pick. But in general, slardar and centaur is hot at the moment.
i suppose tidehunter does fairly well vs slark, you cant zone him with only one support, especially something like omni, and slark cant really solo kill easily because he resist too much r-click damage
oh-oh-oh, LONE DRUID. I remember waga was playing it and completely rekd the enemy safelane slark. lik if his support leaves lane, ld completely dominates it.
If you're going duals, anything with axe/undying and the safelane shouldn't get more than 30cs in 10 mins. Just look for the best guy in their team and try to shut him down
Weaver is very good. You can get many easy kills in lane because 3k supports are beyond braindead
Have to agree about Omni offlane :) You just can't lose your lane, if you aren't getting zoned out too much. As soon as you reach lvl 5 - that's a double kill(Triple if they trilane). People just don't get how strong omni is, at this bracket. Check this post https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/3xqald/portents_7k_offlane_omniknight_guide/?st=izx79lpw&sh=1069008b .
Sk, nyx, slardar.. Actually all offlaner hero are good. Its depend situation and how good you use the potential the hero you play.
Slardar
Underlord
Centaur
Abbadon
Necrophos
I've also had success with Undying and Dark Seer.
Also:
TB offlane is complete garbage
Don't agree on Omni offlane either. He gets zoned pretty easily and has no real way of coming back. Definitely not pos 3 material.
wtf omni is only played in pos 3 in pro games last i checked xD
and why nobody back me up on lone druid is it really bad? not against trilane sure but 1v2 against some carries surely an auto-win hero (he can pull the creeps with his bear, its like free farm)
oh yeah, i think you cant chase omni nor stun him, and he has a heal.
Axe. Even if u get shut down hard, he can do wonders with just a blink and a good call. Slardar is better as a pos 4 I reckon
is omni even useful as a support, though? slow ultimate, all splls scale very well with levels (and are almost useless without any...), can't win the lane by himself...
sk cent and underlord r all good
actually if ur a rly damn good playmaker, people in 3k are not braindead enough to follow up on a good play

Faceless void requires a single ally who is good, especially with a melee team. Lc and necro can't contest farm unless the enemy support is awful. KOTL cant carry. Lone druids efficiency window is 40 minutes before the average 3k match finishes, so you can expect stuff like force/blink vanguard axe even if you win your lane 1v2.
I know i'm overthinking it, but i've never played an actually good match of dota so I don't know what's what. As far as I know, slark is going to get 50 minutes of freefarm no matter what happens, and there's not a single offlaner I can pick to counter it. The general rule of thumb in 3k is the greedier team will probably win, but that isn't showing in my pos 3 performances.
