Pick good counter pushing heroes . Lists of hard supports that can for it at level 7 are your KOTLs and Winter Wyverns . Up the position 4 and more , you have Rubick , Shaker , Crystal Maiden . Old school , max axes Beastmaster , Windranger powershot . From there , you have to keep their death all from getting a PipeMek or Blink initiators that can kill your team while try to slow down the push . Lastly , when it comes to your other 2 cores , your position 4 , and even your hard support , even Naga cannot take all three lanes of farm , your jungle , and ancients . There was a really good article about InvokerSven strat on NP . Invoker gets Midas and pushes out lanes . Sven clears ancients and jungle . Basically , there ' s two things to take from this , when you have too much farm being taken by one person , start to make up for it with midases on another core , or make sure you can farm ancients with another heroes . You can also make up for it by getting kills with the heroes not farming jungle or lane , but those are heroes that require minimal farm . Heroes supports that can stay alive with just levels can also buy greedier items , like Midas , or fast travels . But if you do that , and the enemy has good burst , lockdown , or catch , you ' ll just feed and not progress on your other 4 heroes . Your other option is to build tanky , or play slippery heroes that are hard to gank , to make kills less likely to happen . To counter the push , cancel blinks , get superior vision , summons to block hook shots , anything to delay a rough deathball .
