How to play against rats? in General Discussion

    Just got shit on by a tinker prophet combo. The push was too much to deal with. Tried counter pushing with Lycan, but I'm not a very good lycan to begin with.

    What sort of approach should you take when picking/ playing against rats?

    Rocket

      fight fire with fire and play BoTs meepo

      plz do

        pitching some ideas:
        deathball mid fast. boots of travel. Shadow Blade and wait til they show on lane. Treant. Kotl. Spirit breaker. Naga.

        In normal skill games I advise shadow blade mostely and picking bara - dont forget to buy dust if np has sb.

          U gotta gank them, or have a support/3 who can tp and stop their push

                      Place tinker/np wards and have at least 2 supports who can disable gank with a core. Make sure they always carry tps
