Get an aoe monster( Jakiro, Sand King, etc.) to go into an abandoned lane and soak up xp. When they're Level 6, jump in and murderize the enemy team.

Well, they did have a Necro 8{3

Given the picks and their rather obvious strategy, you have 3 options

a) Use Necrophos to carefully slow down Pushes while your Team tries to take Towers at the same time
b) Fight them right from the get-go with an Aggressive Tri-Lane
c) Focus on Farming, let them take your Tier 1 Towers and try to outFarm and recover



The solution?




Long story short, you could have won with those Picks, you just lacked in execution. Try running a few Aggressive Tri-Lanes and next time you come across a Lineup like that, you'll have a LOT of fun! >8{D

Can Xyrus ever draft without including an aggro tri? :3

honestly the easiest way to counter 5 man push is just to simply counter pick them next time it happens (if there is a next time). 5 man push, mass push, aura push, and just pushing lineups in general are extremely easy to counter pick from early on in the drafting phase. Heroes such as Zeus, Axe, Tinker, Keeper of the Light, Juggernaut, Brewmaster, Undying, and Pugna can all deal with push fairly well from early on in the game. As the game drags out and the enemy pushing begins to intensify, heroes with cleave type attacks such as Kunkka, Sven, and Gyrocopter (special mention to Magnus) can counter push just as effectively.
