You need to be more specific. What race vs what race, etc?
From another thread it seemed like you were elf, so if you're comfortable with AoW creeping (look it up in replays/guides) you could build an AoW on the ramp to the gold mine and use it to tank and creep, allowing for an expo later. If not a good idea is to creep the troll berserker guy for an item with your DH then heal at the edge of the fountain
