Drow-Based Teams with Ranged Carries

The idea of these teams is to take advantage of Drow Ranger's precision aura to boost damage to your main right-click carries, and even some supports to make them more dangerous.

In most cases, you need to pick Drow last so that she's not counterpicked (she's easily ganked early game), and so that the team's synergy may not be readily apparent until last pick.  This also gives the ability for the captain to pick a different carry if another would be more suitable vs. the opponent's lineup.  Some suggestions for alternate carries are given in some team ideas, below.

Team Ideas (dual lanes):

#1:

Mid: Drow (or Beastmaster/Clinkz/Zeus)

Offlane: Batrider (Warlock/Treant/Phoenix/Puck/Silencer) + Bristleback/ElderTitan/Axe (ooh, annoying!)

Safelane:  Luna + Venge/Lion/Nyx

Bans: OD, Viper, then Invoker/Pudge/NP/Io/Bane, then counterban

Pick Order:  Batrider, Venge, Luna, Bristleback, Drow

#2:

Mid: Shadowfiend

Offlane:  Luna + Dazzle

Safe:  Drow + Tidehunter (Clockwerk?)

Bans:  Batrider, OD, NP, then Bounty/DK/Slark

Picks:  Tidehunter, Luna+Dazzle, Shadowfiend, Drow

Problem:  Low Stuns

#3:

Mid: Viper/Huskar
