Different Line up Ideas...
Na / Am or Silencer / Kolt / Loin / Med
Could work out nicely,
Med solo
Kotl / Lion
Na / Am or silencer
Mass mana drain/ mana Deplation, na /med carry,

Re: Different Line up Ideas...
A few problems that I can see of...
It lacks any real tanks since Medusa needs a huge amount of farm to be able to tank or do any damage - if you took AM and Medusa (since you probably arent gunna get NA - most of the time instabanned), you end up with 2 ineffective lategame carries (I say ineffective because if you gave the same amount of farm to another hero, they'd carry 50 times as hard).
Another thing is, if you laned kotl with lion, you'd pretty much be wasting his chakra magic (which is the main reason you pick him now since his mana leak has been nerfed from a stun to a slow, not to mention if you laned kotl with lion, they'd just sit still since theres nothing scary to be running from hehe), and lion doesnt need that much of a mana overkill to be able to harrass well in a lane. kotl is generally used so that your carry can freefarm aka pl or something else with a spam skill, by harrassing the enemy enough for them to have to constantly stay back. In saying that I would love to try a kotl + spec lane with spec spamming dagger (gives vision now so she can dagger into forest to see any incoming ganks as well as farming + harrassing with it every 14 seconds)
Also AM tends to really need a strong baby sitter to be able to farm even remotely well (and farm is what he needs or else hes just a walking blink). Basically you'll get owned early and in all teamfights.
However I think something like this could be real fun in a pub or against a team where we know we would win (but I dislike doing random shit like that because its almost like mocking them... well not even almost, it IS mocking them =/ But yeah keep the ideas coming! We need more activity on the forums

Re: Different Line up Ideas...
I think its a nice possibility for a lineup, you'll want to tweak it a bit cause you have no real need for 5 heroes with mana burn. Possibly like Medusa solo, KotL/ES and then Tide/Silencer or something would give you really nice lanes while still having a good amount of mana burn which comes in really nicely in stand offs around towers or something where both teams are looking for a good in.
Side note: I've become a bit of a fan of silencer recently with the new necrobook build that Loda made popular. However he needs to be played to a very high skill level to be successful I think and also fitting him into a lane isn't the easiest thing in the world.

Agree. AM has always been a situational pick. Ulti buff was nice I guess so that makes him a bit more viable, however new Qb and possibly even poor mans shield could make him quite a good solo.

Hmm I dunno then, maybe it was just EG.Demon's items, he had like treads, vanguard, radi magic stick and was still doing jack shit in teamfights, basically would run in get pwnt and have to blink out =/ now if you put that farm on something like DK, replace vanguard with hood you'd have something very scary to contend with (scarier than AM anyway)
