Illusion and Minion Teams

The following illustrates the idea of punishing an enemy team who typically runs a lineup with little AOE.  Chances are that you won't aim for this type of draft, since you can be hard-countered if the enemy picks up some strong anti-push or AOE, but you can drift this direction if you notice little AOE on the enemy team.
