    Now no one can call 1st!
    Seems to me that push-heavy lineups aren't much of an issue at all if your core knows how to farm? Once he gets a core item or two, plus a BKB, it is easy to turn the fight. But then again, the first step to winning a game is your draft.

            So It Goes

              Good read and summarizes what I'm usually yelling at my team when they try to take a fight after losing 3 in a row to a push team.

                This is why Invoker is one of the best cores in this meta. Teamfight nukes, decent cooldowns, nice push potential and he benefits a lot from XP advantage.

                      This is how I summarize the matter:

                      If you are being pushed, you have the choice of ignoring the push (i.e., split pushing, farming, roshing) or stopping the push. If you succeed in stopping the push, you have the options of 1) counter-pushing, 2) roshing, 3) pushing out lanes for map control and then smoke ganking.

                        Finally someone couldn't call 1st. Thank you Wazsnu.

                        Great article. I like split pushing better.

                              ez way to deal with pushers: earthshaker pick or mijolner. smarter way: pick spectre and play conservatively until minute 40

                                            I believe the pushing strategy to be extremely effective to raise mmr. In a typical game, the enemy will have 3 to 4 cores who want to farm and get their items before they start anything. Pushing early on (preferably without allied carry so he can farm and get exp, must be careful not to be ganked while other allies are pushing) will force enemies to defend. If they don't defend, they lose that much map control and farm potential. Pushing them further in and with offensive warding, they will then realize picking 4 farm dependent heroes was a mistake. Not sure if they ever learn though.

                                                        @Quinkerros, well his avatar is an example, but other good examples are phoenix, bounty hunter, dark seer, ancient apparition, lich, and invoker

                                                        Every hero benefits with gold but those heroes really like a lot of levels
