Dual lane meta in General Discussion

    Everbody is super set on this dual lane meta. However I feel like anytime my team does dual lanes we lose. Do you feel that dual lanes are 100% imperative?

      If the offlane allows the teams safelane 100% free farm; and mid doesn't at least draw game.
      The opposing team, has the opportunity to win, given they execute their lineup.

      Without considering the team lineup, can't specify win conditions, and back this up - that is just how I feel about 3-1-1 v 2-1-2 or 2-1-1-1

      I still win ~50% of my games, where lanes lose...
      Play to your draft, if you believe your draft can win, giving their draft a lane, do it.

      Peekaboo

        pub meta anything can work, however you're going to have a much easier time/more successful time if you play lane dominating dual lanes.

        Sustain lanes = lanes that are hard to kill, (necro, Warlock, witchdoctor etc)
        Kill lanes = Lanes that threaten kills (Lesh, Skywrath, Sandking)
        Harass lanes = Lanes that burn you out of regen with chip damage (Axe, Beastmaster, ench, windrunner)

        These are the cycle of lanes in the meta. Kill lanes > Sustain lanes >harass lanes > Kill lanes.

        if they have heavy healing, focus on heros that kill from full to nothing. If they have heavy harass, focus on heros that can sustain themselves etc.

        Back to the question, Yeah Dual lanes are the strongest form of lanes atm, not 100% imperative but it will give you the best advantage/chance at winning.

          if you trilane or roam instead of dual laning you just loose safelane AND offlane.

          unless someone picks a jungler or unreasonable heros

          PRAISE THE SUN!

            2ks had it right all along

            Dual laning am and jug

            PA and terror blade offlane

            зачем я начал поиск

              I still roam and solo offlane in 90% of the games.
              Dual offlane makes me want to puke and there's nothing I can really do about that.
