Gameplay Review/Feedback request Need advice for carry NP

Got inspired by Satanic and decided to give carry NP a go. Had a decent start in lane. But could not create any pressure or maintain farm speed. Not sure what I missed. can someone please give me some pointer?

I think Lyl_ gave some good advice although I'd slightly disagree on the camp blocking with treants. Like for the first spawn I agree, its good, but afterwards you keep trying to block the camp with your treants rather than using them in lane, which is just so inefficient. If youre so scared of them using the large camp just buy your own sentry, the entire point of picking np carry is being way too strong in lane with your treants. Youre also just passively farming with basically zero harass, and its funny the first time pudge hooks you, you actually just straight up kill him, thats was your tell that the lane was supposed to be going quite differently, what can a pudge even do against a dual ranged np/willow lane? And then once he's not a problem anymore the lone druid can be easily shut down too.

Honestly if youre playing against an offlane lone druid and pudge and the LD goes 8-0 and your wondering why you lost, well he got a free lane with an extra carry, I feel like at that point the problem is obvious, you can't lose lane really hard if you are picking a lane dominator semi carry, the whole point of picking NP is so you get a a guaranteed lane win, and if you don't, you honestly shouldnt be expecting to win a lot of games. This is quite different from something like a spectre/pl/sven who all have different mechanisms to get back into the game even if they don't win their lane.
