Practicing off lane

So, how the hell do I practice this?
In Pubs, I'm vs 2 guys and stomping them both while playing aggressively (which is a big no no there) but I can't find a legitimate way to get decent practice in vs a trilane.

Any suggestions on what I should be doing?
I've been doing some stuff in private lobby, using treants to stack ancients, pull creep waves and block spawns. Anything else I should be doing or just simply keep on pub stomping?

If you join a Team, you can always try Team Matches, you're more likely to find people running Tri-lanes there.

If you don't want to join a Team, you only need to make a Party of 5. Due to the new matchmaking settings in today's update:-



...if you've been Pubstomping 1 vs 2, you'll probably be in a high skill bracket, meaning if you;re in a party of 5, you should find high level teams of 5 in matches. Hopefully, this will be enough for you to run up against Tri-lanes in Captain's Mode.

1. There are no brackets or skill-tiers. You are rated on a cotinuous scale, so you can think of it as a percentile rank from 1-100.

2. The tiers you know from the Replay-Filters are not used in MM.

3. Battle Points and Battle Level are not used in matchmaking.

4. Performance Bars are not used in matchmaking.

5. We don't enforce a 50-50 win rate.
(And you are certainly not getting matched with bad players on purpose when you have a win-streak. There's no conspiracy just because your winstreak ended)

Even with good matchmaking there are plenty of things that can go wrong:
* Being conterpicked or having a bad team comp (overdependence on farm, no heroes that can stop a push, lack of DPS, bad teamfight, etc.)
* Allowing teammates to lose a lane early
* Luck
* Natural variations in individual performance
* People trying a new hero or strategy

Honestly, the Compendium matches usually involve a tri lane with solo off lane. Haven't checked if they changed for the week, but Alchemist on Radiant is suppose to be solo easy lane but most tend to run him tri lane instead (no one likes to do what the match says!). With Clockwerk and Dark Seer as Dire picks, you might be able to convince your team to solo bot.

Try looking for inhouses or anything with CM mode. Thats where you can find good offlane practice. Might be hard with the meta favoring trilane v trilane.

The compendium this week has a dire aggressive tri with Sven as carry. Radiant is suppose to be duel bot, solo top, and jungle but most seem to be running defensive tri with Clockwerk Darkseer and Keeper of the Light
