![[Merlini Plays] Dota 2 - Mirana](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mDdM3PaRTpE/mqdefault.jpg "[Merlini Plays] Dota 2 - Mirana
Merlini Plays a roaming Mirana in a solo queue ranked game. Mid lane is secured for Radiants Legion Commander with the help of some arrows, but Dire has a Slark who cleans up in some early team fights and a Natures Prophet who has relatively uncontested farm for the better half of the game. This replay commentary showcases Slark & NPs strength and how to deal with them in pubs, and also how to transition from a roamer into a semi-useful semi-carry.
