The Dragon and the Drow (D n' D) Draft

You need to pick Chen as your second support; DK + Chen is the most effective deathball combo in this meta, and Drow Ranger just takes that up a level.

Tide as an offlaner is kinda meh atm because the hero is kind of meh. Like... you don't need the big team-fight ability, because you are so much stronger at that period of time than practically any other line-up, unless they have depush, and lots of it (Like KotL levels).

Like Mid DK doesn't need to achive much, he just needs to spam Breathe Fire, get CS, and then push post 6. Especially since Chen can get a Wildwing or Harpy to assist him mid (Which wins so many match-ups, it's one of the reasons Chen is great) whilst he stacks to keep up his farm.

If you can get away with it, Puck is the perfect offlaner for this strat, if not, you pick like Phoenix because you want a ranged offlane to benefit from the damage aura, and thus trade well with supports and get more CS than he should. Essentially your offlaner needs to make chaos happen in the fights, and have area control or area denial. Like Drow Ranger just wants room to right click, and DK is your frontliner, so a bit more space/chaos suddenly makes your team fight really silly.

Like this draft should be taking racks by 25 minutes, not dragging things out late. Drow is terrible late game in proportion to the mid game.

Dk plus chen is indeed very strong, butwhat are the chances of a good chen player?

Low. But we are talking idealistically.

You could also learn the Chen - Like a well played Chen is terrifying, and can probably win a loooot of games regardless of your level.

Currently in training, but i doubt i can do much with a mac

Aside Visage, everyone on this draft sucks to magical damage( yeah the current meta, what a coincidence), you will need a bkb rush dk, a mana boots meka pipe chen, and puck seems good as silence helps a lot

Or just a straight up silencer?

dunno if that was necessarily the issue here. To me it just seems like textbook outdraft from the radiant. They can stop 5 man pushes easily with heavy teamfighting and waveclear, while Clock and to some extend Sandking can easily gank splitpushers (which i guess was the idea behind the NP pick)
