I ' d like to insert my floppy into her disk drive <| sep |> Assuming you mean they are pushing down your lanes as a 5 you need good depush heroes , so that ' s usually heroes with good waveclear . So heroes like Tinker , Winter Wyvern etc . just heroes with good aoe nukes that can clear waves and kill heroes . So basically you beat the lineup by just being better at defending towers than they are at pushing down the towers . You could also try a lineup that pushes down towers faster than they do , so you just go for a base race and try to win it . I ' m not sure that is a good idea though . You can also try to beat them by split pushing the other lanes . This doesn ' t really work for super early push lineups but for ones that hit around 20 minutes its a decent idea . So think heroes like MorphlingAM that can just rat down a lane meaning you get even trades and so they can ' t really deathball . If you go for this lineup though you need to make sure your other 4 heroes are strong at this time of the game , because if they do decide to super commit to the push you will be forced into a fight and if you lose that fight you will lose the game . Alternatively you could go for a lineup that aims to super win the lanes so they can never get the momentum together for a push so you just snowball to a factory . For this kind of gameplan go for just super strong laning heroes like Sand King , Undying etc . Downside of this is if you lose the lanes you will lose the game , and you don ' t scale very well either . If you mean the enemy team is just ganking you constantly early i . e . playing aggressively on your side of the map with invis heroes and maybe some global heroes , then you need to split up the map . So you need to get some wards down and work out the areas that are safe to farm in and not safe to farm in . Send heroes you don ' t want to die into the safe areas and heroes that can dieare survivable into the less safe areas . You need good warding to pull this off however . You can also try to just 5 man around if the enemy team keeps ganking you , this is the pub strat . Basically you just 5 man around and hope to grab a kill here or there which will let you bounce back their lead due to comeback mechanics and then go on to victory . Sorry if I haven ' t really answered your question .
