Batrider + Meepo

Why this works

Dragging a target with Flaming Lasso into a waiting group of Meepo clones is often a death sentence. Meepo provides an incredible amount of burst with Poof and can chain-root the victim with Earthbind long after the Lasso ends. The problem is that beyond this single-target pickoff, the heroes don't offer each other much. Both Batrider and Meepo are greedy, tempo-setting cores who want to snowball through the mid-game. They can end up competing for farm and the ideal ganking space on the map. Since a core Meepo is already excellent at finding his own initiations with Blink Dagger, the specific setup from Batrider isn't always what he needs most.
