meta offlane? in General Discussion

    I have the feeling that the offlane is way harder now (like it was pre 7.00)

    basically unless you pick a strong hero that is either extremely elusive (puck) or that can also jungle (tide,enchant, beastmaster,enigma,LC etc.) you will get nothing out of the lane.
    picks like timber, wr, cw wont workout anymore

    OR

    you swap lanes and have an aggro trilane in this case you could pick stuff like timber or abbadon pos 3 in the safelane.

    maybe if you have 3 strong lanes you dont get a roamer but go dual offlane instead, but if your mid and safelane have a bad matchup you're in a very bad spot.

    is this accurate?

    (yes i know you can stomp in the offlane with windranger or BB in 3k, im interested in high mmr meta)

      In 6k there's still plenty of heroes that can work. You usually get countered some way or another since you have to pick early anyways.

      I'd say just focus on playing well and you'll do fine.

        if i look at your picks you play sk, dark seer which are very elusive. or omni/underlord which are strong laners that crush their lane.

          u go to ur lane and die 5 times in a row and still somehow stay relevant because early deaths = literally nothing now

            Brew is pretty broken.

            I've been playing a lot of him recently in ranked and I have found a lot of success with him. Also he's pretty fun.
