General DiscussionBest lane bully?

Shaman or ww. I mean, look at that ridiculous 80 attack damage

Jug+shaman : 0-10 minute6 offlaner

Bane is also rlly good

Dazzle only really works well against melee heroes, skywrath is really annoying if you don't have a way to cancel clarities. Jakiro and Lich are really good too, but I'm a bit biased towards them.

not a full support, but a pos. 3/4 batrider hands down.

lich is great too for teaching a newcomer. just have him spamming sac mostly

If you’re an offlaner with no escape definitely ogre

Roaming qop

depends on enemy pick..
shadow shaman - due high base dmg
(support) weaver with Geminate Attack and Shukuchi is verry anoying
ogre, wd, riki

really depends
some heroes dont care about magic harassment, some can completely ignore physical harassment of any kind, some can deal with melee but get kited by ranged supports

i personally hate strong slows as offlaner
when i play pos5 and feel like i have to fuck with the offlaner, no matter what, i pick skywrath. annoying consistant dmg, both physical and magic, plus amazing base momevement speed
i'd commit an ult in most cases to cancel a clarity on him

Meepo

easy safe lane carry with SOLO EXP, SECURE FARMED WITHOUT SUPPORT:

HUSKAR

One of the better lane bullies is undying paired with another aggressive partner like spirit breaker or shadow demon with orb of venom. If u don't get OOV, get phase boots quickly before 15 mins

there we go again

Bane is such an asshole

atropos

Ogre, Shaman and Dazzle. Ogre spams right clicks, shaman does the same, and with the new poison touch Dazzle is probably one of the best zoning supports in lane right now.

Bane hardly does anything

the herald/crusader knowledge bombs in this thread is insane!!

Aside from brain sap, Let's sleep you and do nothing; let's cast enfeeble on you to annoy you but do nothing else. I enjoy playing against bane supports as they often overestimate the power of brain sap.

Clinkz is probably the best lane harrass. 70 damage orb attacks from 670 range away.

HAHAHAH can someone Ban HanSolo from ever posting on these forums ?
Bane, Shadow Shaman, and Shadow demon are my top picks
Special mention to Lich, Dazzle and of course Disruptor

there is very few heroes that can man up early against bane and ogre

a sky spamming q is also pretty annoying
or a 84398574392769 hp 34975893457 armor bara

with 3050% chance to bash*

Just pick treant against bane and enjoy your easy life

ye good luck harassing a 310 base ms 4 base armor hero as 270 movespeed hero
works as long as bane doesnt purchase detection

Best lane bully is Undying, all he needs is a perseverance and an aghs, no boots required

The most trending # For 2018 on DotaBuff Forums xD

Ive been bullying anyone in my lane for weeks now.

on tb?
you never lane vs nukers?

If we look at current pro meta, it seems that bane and shaman are the main candidates
Shaman has insane right click, and he busts a decent 2.67 armor, making him very good at trading hits, also he has nice nuke and a shackle that punishes you hard for positioning

Bane is even more tanky with 660 hp and 4.83 armor. And has brain sup to make trading impossible, he is a nightmare against solo heroes

they pick bane for setting up ganks and taking one enemy out of a fight, shaman is for chain disable aswell paired with pushing and teamfight. the lane presence is just a bonus probably.
if you look again you will see that nightstalker is the worst nightmare in the right hands, thats why hes banned every game

Can't argue with you etd, you seem to understand less conventional ways of playing well.

Lich, or Omni/ogre

I like Witch Doctor as a support. You got a good stun... Insane damage with Maledict and the aura to heal your rookie friend through the mistakes he/she will make... And at lvl 6 you can basically solo kill anyone. It is just really good at the moment as a laning phase baby sitter and doesn't lose relevance when going further into the game... But if you are looking for some real hate inducing laning heroes, well, Huskar is on top of that list. It is a total nightmare versus any melee hero...

Cores for the new player should probably include Wraith King with the aura vampirism and a reliable stun and the inbuilt crit is always nice too... And that resurrection can really erase mistakes made by new players...

^ on the topic, watch them Perma abuse Q to Stun and end up with no mana for resurrection xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

then u can hear Harolds abusing chat sayin Game bugged Ulti doesn't work GG volvo

How is bane not good at harassing
His base dmg is rlly high
He is fast
Brain sap
Hello?
Wtf offlaner trades against that?

yea bane is a big lane bully nowadays, he and shaman, shaman risen to the top in 7.06 because of his right click changes, the hero himself is the same, bu now he is also an early right click machine, and he is surprisingly tanky at level 1 compare to the impressiong

but bane is always the ultimate lane bully

also i see more ogre magi comes back into the meta

ns is not really a bully, he is also not really a laner, he is very good at ganknig and surprizing but not at bullying

Thing with ogre is that since he is melee he draws and fucks up creep agro too

u get nothing u lose

Support antimage
Ez blink
Ez wards

Thanks everyone, I had forgotten about skywraith.

Bane also a great option to babysit a newbee, the sleep save and fiends grip to setup some easy kills.

Sky is most annoying hero as support
