You will have 2 heroes on your lane that will support you and give a space to get creep kills to build items as fast as possible. The next role is the Position 3 also known as the Offlane where this hero will be a tanker or an initiator when a clash will take place. Sometimes, only the position 3 hero will go on the lane at the top (Radiant) or bottom (Dire).

The position 4 and 5 are the heroes that will support the 3 core heroes. They have the responsibility to purchase wards to increase the map awareness of the hero and to roam around the map for ganking.
