General DiscussionDiscussion: Dual lane combos

Bane and Razor dual lane combo is mediocre at best..

Too easy to juggle nightmare set-up
No slows or actual stuns...
Poor cast range for static link and nightmare not to mention the limited number of set-ups that can be done due to high mp cost of bane's spells

its really not that new of a combo, but its not even that good. If you want good bane combos (excluding the obvious bane + mirana), try

[*]nightmare + kunkka torrent
[*]nightmare + magnus skewer into tower
[*]nightmare + clockwerk cogs and battery assault
[*]nightmare + earthshaker block
[*]nightmare + alchemist stun
[*]nightmare + centaur and slardar stun
[*]nightmare + earthspirit kick into tower
[*]nightmare + drow knockback into tower
[*]nightmare + ursa Q and then explode them
[*]nightmare + gyro rocket
[*]nightmare + windrunner shackle
[*]nightmare + lina stun
[*]nightmare + jakiro icepath
[*]nightmare + meepo poofs
[*]nightmare + disruptor E
[*]nightmare + kotl blast
[*]nightmare + leshrac stun
[*]nightmare + aa ulti

@ Yan

Well I'm talking LVL 1 first blood here I guess I should edit it. I mean he was nightmaring the enemy near the bottom side shop, razor was just sitting there while he was nightmared absorbing his dmg, then as he was retreating bane/razor would tear down the timbersaw.

I don't get the "Too easy to juggle nightmare set up.
Nightmare is an actual "stun".....
Cast range for static link didn't matter due to grabbing the enemy hero with nightmare.

Soul ring was acquired by bane shortly after drawing first blood by Razor to allow for more setups in lane without going back to base.

So anyhow yan or anyone else..... Any other dual lane combos that are good like this?

@ Wink.

Thanks. I like those bane combo tries that looks like a good combo list to me!

I agree, you can still run from razor. That's going to get you a quick first blood since 56 extra dmg makes the kill take 2-3 hits, but once they can absorb that they'll survive, depending on if they have any disables or not.

Cool combo I ran into was tiny + earthshaker. Toss es at em he hits enchant totem to proc his stun, tiny avalanches once that wears off. If target still isn't dead es can lay down a fissure as they run away. It's very tough to survive this, even with disables, we destroyed a windranger + lion combo and they aren't short on disable. Only down side is you're both pretty squishy early, low base armor, and very mana reliant but a quick first blood means mana boots inc.

@ Wookie

Hmm now I just need someone that knows how to play tiny. It's been awhile since I've had a tiny in my matchup.

tiny + cent : toss and stomp
tusk + cent : snowball and stomp

can get quite op starting from lv2 or lv3.

wink thanks for the list. very useful and inspiring. i would like to add

nightmare+aa cold feet
nightmare+ tiny toss to tower
nightmare+ chen's cent stomp
nightmare+ earth spirit push
nightmare+ force staff
nightmare+ ember 1st 3rd skill combo.
nightmare+ lc 1st skill and duel.
nightmare+ meepo wave
nightmare+ omni 1st skill and 3rd skill slow
nightmare + riki smoke
nightmare + sk ult
nightmare + pudge hook or ult
nightmare + pugna's combo
nightmare + razor's link
nightmare + ss ult+ lash
nightmare + tusk combo
nightmare + undying tomb
nightmare + wr positioning and stun
nightmare + wd ult
nightmare + timber ult and combo
nighmare + invok icewall emp

in general. nightmare is like a mini naga ult. help your teammate re-position for kill.

Yes centuar would be a good replacement for es. More dmg, 1 less stun, but you can pull it off at lvl 1.

CM + tiny is pretty wicked too, if your dual stuns and CM slow aren't enough to kill em toss her at them for one more nuke.

tossing cm would be so fun to watch lol.

^^^ But AA's Cold Feet deals damage, doesn't it wake up the hero far too early (instantly) to proc the stun? You'd need an extra stun or slow.

^ i guess you are right. I haven't really played aa XD

most OP combo has to be AA and Earthshaker, good for lane, great for teamfights

Omniknight and KotL

Last hit that creep again. Last hit that creep again!, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, Last hit that creep one more Goddamn time!

LoL Lordy.... 2 funny!

Tired of tri laning. It must be a trash 2 to 3k tier strategy since everyone wants to do it instead of a normal 2/1/2 where i'm at.

Thanks for the list guys! I totally agree with the centaur since im 65% win/loss with him..... I need moar centaur games I miss him. I only pick him if I get someone that gets a guarantee stun so I can chain stun with him. I've been stuck in solo queue mm having people want me to put him solo offlane.... WRONG choice.... he has no escape and if facing a tri lane exp. absorb and gold is impossible to grab.

Very inspiring! Thanks guys! (Liking the Ancient apparition combos ive seen on here. Hard to proc cold feet without a guaranteed stun hero laning with him.)
