Best Lane Combos
Personally I've tried a few and these 2 partnerships are hellish to play against ->

1. Keeper of the light + Zeus - KOTL should nab 3 claritys, donkey, tango + rest iron branches and spam your horses galore, give mana to Zeus post level 5 and buy arcane boots early to keep boosting mana (replace them after laning phase). No one has stopped us with this combo.

2. Viper + Venomancer - Nab a Orb of vemon for both of them early on and watch you poison the enemy out of the lane entirely. Once you nab them with slows and they have pushed too aggressively, it's game over.

You can replace Zeus or Viper with Axe and let him spam Battle Hunger and drive the enemy insane. What other laning combos have you seen that work really well?

Wisp and Chaos Knight or Wisp and Ursa. That's an OP combo, especially as the game goes on.

Me and my friend do Kunkka (Sea Captain) and Keeper of the light ( Gandalf ) and it works well with torrent and the illuminate.

Huskar + Abaddon
(Reason : Huskar 3rd skill makes him nearly invulnerable to magical damage at low hp. This increases the effectiveness of abaddon's sheild and heal)

Huskar build : 2 ,3, 4 (1 level in 1st skill)
Abaddon build : 1, 2, 4

Huskar starting item : Boots , tangoes
Abaddon starting item : Obs ward, tangoes, soul ring recipe

1. Before creep spawn, ward the safelane rune and ward front of enemy tier 1 tower.
( Reason : Prevent TP ganks and gank from mid solo)

2. Block creep when they spawn.
( Reason : Do not let creep equilibrium get close to enemy tier 1)

3. Huskar harass enemy like a BAUSS and Abaddon farm while maintaing creep equilibrium. Abaddon also pull tango for Huskar. Apply sheild when necessary.
( Reason : Abaddon get an early soul ring +TP scroll)

4. Abaddon let Huskar farm. Abaddon go pull jungle or TP to save teammate in other lanes.
( Reason : Prevent other lanes from getting owned. Your Huskar should be safe because of the early wards. Try to get kills with Huskar whenever Huskar ulti is online.Abaddon always use sheild and heal on allies with main priority on Huskar)

Huskar mid/late game item : Power thread, armlet, heart, AC, mkb, Agh sceptre
Abaddon mid/ late game item : Tranquil boots, soul ring, mekasm, rod of atos/force staff

WIN GAMES. SRSLY RAPE every single game i played using this combo with my friend.

best combo that i've tried with my friends (from level 2) is invoker+juggernaut,, a bit like cm+jugg but cold snap instead.

Venomancer and Bristleback. Venomancer slows them down with his 1st ability, Bristleback uses nasal goo and they just cant escape. If they are with a lot of health use Venomancer´s ulti. Bristleback´s spikes helps a lot too.

Meepo + Wraith King at level 4.

Dazzle + Naga + Pa: Dazzle harrasses oponents early and naga handles pulls while pa farms the lane, when the enemy comes to close naga moves around behind and uses net then spawns illus, then dazzles heals he and pa comes in the pick up the kills.

Undying + Veno + Viper: Let undiny stack decay a couple of times then initiate with a gale + tombstone, most enemies will not survive.

If you make that a trilane with shadow demon it can be outright horrible for who you are up against.

No, it doesn't when he is in blade furry, funny thing is I just tested it out yesterday, so Bane and Juggernaut combo is best because of nightmares long duration.

You never buy a soul ring recipe, it is a good thought, but when you are supporting and letting Huskar last hit, you won't get it very soon and honestly, your money can be spent on better supporting stuff, or survivability, or something more useful.

If more people could explain how/why a particular combo is so OP it would be helpful for us noobs.

For example, I've seen this one- tiny throws in Centaur for the stun, then centaur stuns again. If you are up against squishies it's practically a guaranteed double-kill.

But I don't understand how most of the combos involving Io/Wisp would work.
