Druid/Warlock

VS.

Mage/Rogue

Difficulty:4/10 and 6/10 if they're Undead

In most cases especially now that Mirror Images don't Sheep they will try to kill the Warlock. Put a teleport close to your Druid,ask for full prehots and go to the mage,replace teleport as you move in some maps.Druid is max range of course.
If they open on Warlock: Faerie fire the first second the rogue appears,fake cast a nourish and ask Dispel on the Silence,then heal and heal and have some HoTs on yourself, in case they switch.The warlock should decide if he should trinket the Kidney shot depending how low he is.After Howl of Terror, Death Coil, and refear and DoT him up. When Fear ends he will not have trinket and he will use Clos(undeads usually trinket second fear or dc lol). At that point teleport back try to heal up to full and then go to fear mage.

At the second opening faerie fire again,then instant Cyclone if has used trinket,remove crippling and chain a Fear/Root(Mage cant silence both).
You won gz

I forgot to mention that you silence the Mage every cd. I usually don't silence the first frostbolt to avoid fake cast or at least if you have good latency use it in the end of the cast.

If they sap the warlock and go for the druid: With the buffs the druid got and the barkskin glyph i don't think its possible for him to die,just dispel sheeps on yourself trinket blind
and spam fears until rogue dies.
I haven't met a team that goes for pet but i guess its not worth it using clos just to kill pet.

as true for most teams with rogues, get in combat asap (lock using helfire and hotting right away) so no one gets sapped. Sitting sapped against this team for 8-10 seconds could be an instant loss

Mage/rogue is a 95% for my lock/druid team. It's ALWAYS (except those 5%) the same old story. It is very simple, their main strength relies on first sheeping a target (always me), so that he wastes his trinket, blind him, and go rape mode on the healer. Thing to do is, GET TO THE MAGE ASAP, get into combat. Druid pops out in tree form, heals me to get into combat aswel. Then he fully HoTs himself, because we know theyre gonna go on him. I get sheeped, as always. Sheep MUST be dispelled. CS the frostbolts if u can. At some point he will blind u, TRINKET it. DoT the rogue at any time ur free, make him use his cloak. After he used his cloak its a done fight. Dot the rogue and CC the mage. So in short, dispell the sheeps, counterspell/fear the mage, DoT the rogue twice.

That combo is very very easy for RM, since a mage nor a rogue can't do much to a druid as it is. And especially not with a lock shooting you. Also, going for the lock is hell. We can't CC druid (only with blind and stun).

And sorry, i meant that combo is very very hard for RM*

If this comp is undead they faceroll you in a matter of seconds and collect points, not that much to do.
Lock getting stuck in polymorph sooner or later.
Good mages will stack Winter's Chill debuff on you or do a frost nova+polymorph making it almost impossible to dispell sheep.

I would say that a good rogue mage rapes warlock druid if played well.

Not to mention mage armor being ridicilous overpowered, mage surviving for ages.

mage rogue is free points ir u dont get completely fucked by rng. dont know how you guys find it hard. only way they can win is by going on druid when u just have to spam fear rogue and cs mage. keep coe on mage to minimize resistance on silence. full dot rogue and he will die after his clos (some games one of u might die but with rogue dead faster u can solo). at many occasions i 2vs1 them cause rogue just cant survive and mage/lock 1vs1 is easy. i 'd say 3/10 difficulty 4/10 if UD

It's definately possible to kill the druid with some decent CC on the warlock and some well timed burst, but i hate this combo, we just lose every time :( (MR pov)
