what would be a good setup for 3v3?
usually we do electrician, pyromancer, and another caster

depends what your playing against ofcourse there is no standard 3vs3 setup, u might aswell pick the heroes u can play best, but keep in mind that if they get tempest u'll need a way to counter it soo it wont help picking 3 heroes who cant stun if they have heros like that.

well. i play electrician and i like the hero. my other 2 friends cant decide which they want. so which would be 2 heroes with stuns that they should try?

Electrician, Succubus, and Magebane/Scout/Nighthound/Chronos is an awesome combination. This way you can disable their whole team mid/late game, and if you have Magebane with a Geometers Bane they'll all three be out of mana by the time the disables wear off.
EZPK.

take elec = support tank, can be played as carry but he'll need MANY kills and mock to have a chance to finish ppl off late game
swiftblade is a nice carry hero with his OP whirlewind ,crit and counter attack vs heroes and nice ulti
zephyr has gust(stun effect) 8 cyclones dealing dmg in aoe (INSANE creeper, actually the one who can compeat with blood hunter) and his shield is just crazy evasion against melee and reflect against ranged, his ulti is also super and he is one of my fav heroes.

engineer is great in many ways with his keg that can be used to push ppl towards u or save ppl, his turret making his dmg insane, tinker boost turret or help push down lanes and a great ulti.

there is really MANY great heroes u just have to think what ur enemy picks and counter them or if u play 1-2-2-1-2-1 rotation to pick just think.

edit: dident read ur topic fully done befor i wrote this, chronos is OP he needs 3 items and he pwn all but in the end boring, scout is scout pathetic and weak if u cant play him, magebane is great hero but isnt useful against every hero, and soccu is a great hero imo enfeeble (reduce dmg), sleep is imba too can even deny allies or fool them to be sleeped, and lifesteal + ulti, especially ulti with puzzle box is nice xD

hmm
im thinking elec, succubus, and then swiftblade
ive seen the power of whirlwind, my friends who are very new to the game will enjoy having a skill where you just kinda walk into them and kill them. with 2 people holding them down it would be even more easy

thanks for the help guys

elec+sb is a nice setup on a lane and one of the most hated onces since its basicly guarantee'd maaaaaany kills on that lane, and soccu well she is just great with enfeeble is highly underestimated skill, take for example lets say a good farmed hammerstorm, he pops ulti and use enfeeble on him and his dmg will drop 200~? and without ulti it could be 80? maby 100 dmg loss. I've played dota since day 1 soo I use all the old words like enfeeble dunno the name on hon but its the skill that reduce dmg^^ and its IMBA.

i play by simple rules with my friends, 1) we never give up even in the darkest hour we can still win, i play hon ALOT and i have played the most insane matches and we still won, 2 last great matches i've had was

1) we had 5 intls just support heroes, and we were against great team, zephyr,warbeast,hammerstorm,tempest and i cant remember the last hero and at start we were like "omg hahahha fail" but we never gave up we had stated items we were gonna make astrolobe etc and we made a bunch of euls and stuff and we made it, by pushing fast we knew we wouldent win late game but the game went to 50min ~~, lucky i played with 3 friends that game soo we were 4 +random and the random guy was good and listened to what we said.

2) was ok team i had horrible start as carry and in the end i was critting 1k with satanic lifesteal not even theyre over farmed madman killed me and he had better items, think we lost 1-2 lanes befor we had our comeback verrrryy late and team was well cordinated.

lol 5 int heros. nice.
and yeah. it seems that anything with electrician would be a hated team in a lane. just use that chain thing and they are screwed
any slows or anything you get you can just ult out of it and get insane speed boosts.
usually when we do good i play elec as a carry because once we get those first few kills its pretty much over anyway

3v3

i think it depends who urr playing against

tree can play a mean fucking carry/tank/support


if its random pub game u can try tempest, soulsteal, tree
tempest ult -> soulsteal nukes -> tree ult ->soulsteal ult
even though they have to be pretty noob to get caught in it and im pretty sure theyll die before trees ult

u can literally view the whole map with tree if the game goes on long enough

in 3v3 all u need is op carries for wtfbbbqwin
