At lane a build like basic bow bow basic probably is supperior to basic basic basic basic for example because you should push the opponent back with it because you kill creeps way faster however many players seams to think bow useless ego weapon and bow users = egoplayers.
never gonna happen. You start bow you take damage your enemy doesnt. Even if you push him back a bit you will be forced to return to your cp to heal hence your enemy will recover. by the time you heal and return you might push your enemy a bit but you will be forced to return again. Even if by the end of the first 5 min you are slightly ahead in creeps it will change then. Your bow bow start can only work partially good(only for first 5 min) and that depends on your and your enemy start tanks. All creep waves have gaps between them so its not like your create a big creep wave to do anything significant. Bow bow light tank can never push basic basic light tank. Whenever i faced bow starters at lane i never was on the defensive for the record

If you play with double bow + something in mid and force a 2v2 on, say, top you either win just be farming better in mid or you get the top turret very early.
Unfortunately what happens when you actually try to do something like this is: You get flamed for creep weapons and for coming to top. Sad :/
Prog your intentions might be pure but lets face the facts here. an example you start double bow and a teamate starts demo basic. Wouldnt you be pissed if the exact opposite was happening? all you gain with double bow is to get the biggest number of creeps thus making your other 2 teamates fall behind in gold/exp. Dont make an ego start sound anything more than its actually is. your double bow start gives nothing to team it only gives you something. Its the same as the scout+4 bombarding+iron hull starts. You chose a tank to creep only and dont contribute anything to team play even if you try to present it as a good thing in the end its for your own personal benefit your team doesnt gain anything from it. Even if push your enemies you still harm your other teamates
