Laning with templar assassin
Is it any possible, in your opinion? I really like it, like my fav hero, but when i pick it and go mid i always (or often) have teams who can't carry their lane, even if i try to gank lanes (that doesn't happen often, with success) ...

So what about if i pick her and go in safelane?

If mana isn't an issue.

I would get soul ring instead... but really, just play with a friend who uses crystal maiden/kotl.
Urn doesn't really give that much mana. If you can play conservatively (only using the abilities when trying to kill the enemy heroes instead of using them for lane sustain, harass, etc.) it woudn't be that bad, but templar assassin loses her dominance in lane without constantly using refraction.

Couldn't agree more.. i think the problem is that i don't usually play mid, i'd rather go lanes..

I was wondering.. for mana problems, what about going with eul scepter, instead of yasha? For movement speed and escape ?

Im not a very good TA player at ALL but surely ganks would be successful if you used traps? im not sure if its common practise to get ulti at lvl6 in favour of other abilities, but a solid slow and refraction dmg means it should be easy enough to gank. And as acsvf said a soul ring would be a solid idea as they cant use it to kill you due to refraction shielding

With the double runes you can go bottle.give your bottle to the support at the two minute mark to fill it and give it back to you so you will not lose any time from lane.

I think so, but i really need to learn to spam those ♥♥♥♥♥♥ traps a llot, instead of doing it from time to time.. the thing is that happens so often to have carries who are unable to carry lanes, or jungling, or things like that, that i can barely reach lvl 6 in mid, most of the time even before, i need to go to help the lanes blocked under the tower and in terrible feefeeding sessionn

Templar should be mid.
She can lane, though. Just like every other mid hero.
Don't ask me how to do it. I barely play Templar.

No probs. ta can also offlane if you are very good on her i remember funn1k doing it at a point. but you know. it was funn1k so don't try it unless 100% sure you can do it. Also if you can coordinate your team you can go aggresive trilane and go solo safelane with her because she really needs the xp.

Lol, don't worry mate, at this point i'm not sure even what the offlane thing is all about. I'm not even thinking about this.. I just want to be more effective, and i'm so tired to lose games cause of my team.. i hope that doing the job, that others can't, things will improve (i'm around 50% winrate with ta)

Don't ask me how to do it. I barely play Templar.

Why should her? Ok, she's squishy, like pa or pl.. but she provides damage, has escape mechanics, and she's great at farming.. everything is needed to lane properly

The main reason is because she needs the levels and because she is a lane dominator with refraction and psi-blades(or whatever they are called don't remember). Also the melt strike means that the enemy supports have to invest for sentries in midlane and get dust if they want to gank her which even then is not easy.

she gets hard countered really hard so only play her vs hero you can fight cant escape and blink 80% will be useless she needs to be picked smartly

Templar Assassin is 1. A lane dominance hero 2. A very level reliant hero 3. A snowball hero.

So let's start with 1. This means that she is really good at fighting 1v1. Her refraction and meld just make her great at harassing and beating others, and refraction again makes her great at last hitting and denying. As stated before he also benefits from runes.

2. She needs levels and bad. She needs a level advantage over her enemies. In the safe lane even if your support stays out of lane for most of the game they will always take some xp. No bueno, you want all of that juicy experino.

3. A snowball hero is
A) A hero that needs kills: therefore you put them mid where they have easier access to the other lanes for EZ katka kills
B) A hero that is NOT guaranteed to win you the game.

If you put a Medusa in your safelane and TA in your mid you have two chances to win the game:
1. Your TA snowballs and you win
2. You get to the 55 minute mark and Medusa wins you the game.

TA isn't that good of a carry, she just snowballs. Therefore her best position is mid. Can you put her safe lane? There are worse things.

But she benefits and excells in the mid lane.

Good luck, and have fun.
