How to play when you have a lane partner that picks Bara/Pudge/Windranger/Natures Prophet/Veno

Im a Guardian III ranked player, and play position 5, 4 and 3. I usually like to play heroes that can initiate or support from the backlines. The issue happens when I am offlane and the pos 4 picks Bara/Pudge/Windranger/Nature Prophet. Basically, heroes that either push the waves heavily, or hide in shadows to use abilities to specifically find kills. In such scenarios, I alone in lane and both the opponent pos 1 and pos 5 keep harassing me till im low and either cant lane or have to expend heavily on consumables. In the case of bara/pudge/np, they often leave the lane completely to find kills elsewhere and im stranded till the tower goes down, unable to last hit or gain much exp(most of the time, im playing against drow, jugg venge heroes that can hit me from afar and keep me low)... And i feed like 3 kills on average. I play sand king, tidehunter and bristleback offlane the best(as best as a guardian player can)... What should i do differently and how can i lane with such heroes? Or what heroes should i pick as pos 3 to lane better with such heroes?

PS: Not all Bara/Pudge/Windranger/Nature prophet/Veno players are like that, but i hope you get the idea what im talking about. Basically pos 4s that hide and i take all harass or that push the lane soo much that i cant get last hits reliably and continuously starting fights.
