Start with tangos and either PMS or Stout + wand depending on who you think the safelane support will be.
Skill wolves and summon them at 20 seconds or so and move them into the spawn boxes for the small camp and hard camp but out of the way enough that they wont get killed if the support or carry notice them. With a 55 second life, they will block both camps until the 2 minute mark.
At this point if you have PMS and tangos you just hit the enemy carry and bully them away. The support will have no way to pull to get levels and will likely be in lane with the carry sapping their XP so you will outlevel both of them. Skill howl next and if you get in melee range, you can bodyblock, howl and get 2 shots on the enemy carry.
When you get enough CS, get your ROH and work towards HOTD. People say the item sucks but if you lane well you can have it in 6 mins. that's enough time to get a tomato bear and start taking objectives, a centaur or troll to gank with your 6, alpha wolf to speed your farm or a satyr to sustain your lane and even nuke down supports low on health.
It is all about abusing your power spikes. The traditional role of the offlaner is checked by Lycan. He farms easier than a cetnaur or a clock, has initiation, can sustain team and is an objective gobbler. Build necros next and basically just look for kills and objectives every time your ult is up.
I am sure this is 2.5k crap theorycrafting but i've gained a lot of mmr with the wolf. yes, I prefer the objectives build which I think is more viable on your 3 position since you should technically have a mid and a safelaner. I've also found that people in my bracket are astoundingly bad at taking objectives and Lycan does it better than almost any other hero in the game. You win by hitting buildings, not by getting a good KDA.
im sure it doesn't work at 3k, 4k or 5k but it works for me where I am now and dont see any reason why it cant work for others as well.
Mid I just go Lina sf
Safelane I go jugg or Sven
Offlane axe
Support I go ogre
Roam I go kunkka or Riki
Tho u can see in my profile that I barely play support
SWM Lich CM Disruptor AA
If somehow forced to playing core, Necro or Medusa last pick
I'm shit as core though
Windranger mid.
Or offlane if team is decent but mostly mid if I want to win.
TA, mid but it's conditional on certain factors. The first factor is whether RNGesus favored me and my invo ban went through. If it didn't and my team has first pick, the game is lost because invo will be first picked and go 1-5 or something in 10 minutes. If the other team has first pick though and they pick invo, we're golden because that's my favorite hero to lane against (all of my main heroes counter him pretty well and most 2k invokers are ass).
last pick mid countering enemy mid
which is basically viper
necro if viper is banned
razor if enemy picks viper first
i've done the whole offlane thing. it's not as good as crushing mid 1v1.
Underlord offlane, .. went from 4k to 4.6 in a month with him, amazing hero with great team fight presence and ability to defend pushes or split push when needed

What hero can you pick in a certain role and be comfortably certain that you are about to gain MMR?
For me it's solo offlane Centaur Warrunner
