Position 3 / Pos 3 / Offlaner:

Position 3, or the offlaner, is the hero typically played in the off lane and assigned the third-farm priority on a Dota 2 team. This role is usually expected to survive the early lane, make space for higher-priority cores, and become a durable initiator, frontliner, or teamfight presence as the match develops.

In drafting and team communication, “pos 3” refers to the offlane core slot rather than a specific hero. The exact hero pool can change, but the role generally focuses on disruption, map pressure, and creating favorable fights for the team.
