you should still be able to get some levels and be around the same as the opponents. Always make sure youre in xp range.
just be patient, go for last hits where you can but don't be greedy. Its essential that you have a tp scroll with you. Inevitably space will open up on a lane, usually mid, which gives you a chance to farm a wave or two.
you can go to the easy camp in the jungle just to get some pennies. Could also stack/pull so that you can keep that farm up. Change your item build as well (viper its different). If youre not getting enough farm for a battlefury for am, don't bother.
if theyre not making space for you (your supports) then you really cant do much.
Yeah, I tried just absorbing xp but the Bane could zone me easily since once I was in nightmare range it was another death. I did try farming the easy camp but the Nature's Prophet would come in and take what he could either through his ultimate or just contesting with last hits.
And if I showed up in another lane I would just get the Nightstalker diving me under the tower.
Guess it was a perfect storm for instant failure. We basically lost it at the laning phase because my team didn't want to... well... work as a team.
Our comp was Skeleton King, Leshrac, Vengeful Spirit, Nature's Prophet and Viper. I picked the Viper to go mid because I naturally didn't think we had someone for that. Of course once everyone locks in the Lesh demands mid. Had we put Lesh, Venge and Skeleton King in a tri-lane, Nature's Prophet in the solo and Viper mid I think we really stood a chance. But any other lane configuration was doomed to lose.
