I always enjoyed being a support/roamer myself. Making sure that the teams 1. carry had an easy time on lane farming up like a madman, as well as helping out both the other side lane and the mid lane for that nice level 6 ultimate kill with the mid hero. Puppys roaming Earthshaker with a shit ton of clarities for that early gank with fissure would always make for some fun early games ^^ | ||

You grab the one level of gale at level 1 for ganks, and can just roam and gank with it very easily. When mid game comes, when ever you feel that a tower will be pushed just set up the defences with your wards and it will give the opponents a very hard time. If you get to the point you farm an sceptre you end up having a very game changing ultimate, when in combo with one such as tidehunter it can literally decimate an entire team. In pubs this hero can also be played as a very strong semi carry, as his base attack can become something that is very strong in combination with his passive poison. The best part about this hero though, is in dota1 he has the same model as everyones favourite hydralisk! Even the dota2 equivalent you can see the resemblance! Wards first should be the way to play Veno, solo as support. It allows him to jungle/ancient later on, and contribute to (counter)pushes. Playing Veno as DPS early on is the wrong way imo. My build is usually Gale Sting Ward Ward Ward Ulti Ward. | ||

Good luck to all for the key, @Bumblebee, who's your favorite support? I think SK is definitely one of the best with his stun/initiator, hide in sandstorm, and his ulti. | ||

 nice write up and interesting read, it's good to see another person's insight on support, people really need to realize that it's not as easy as some say it is. | ||

However, I played LoL for a while and enjoyed support and in ranked games you had people who would work on picking a good team comp. As i don't know what DotA 2's system is like my question is "Do they have something similar where you can communicate with your team?" I ask because I would enjoy picking support from day 1 even in unranked games to get the most time learning how to play one effectively. I'm drawn to the support role for liking to help but also because of some of the heroes that are pegged as support. AA, Lich, CM all have neat skill sets that appeal to me. Also if I win your beta key I will be sure to practice up on my support skills and be the best supporter I can! | ||

Shame on me  On topic though, there's one thing I don't get - Why would enchantress be considered "hard" to play? Her heal gives her a way to make up for any heavy harassment, and none of her skills are all that pivotal on exact positioning (like Black Hole) or intricate timing/judgement (Holy Persuasion / Ice Blast). A player simply needs to know how to draw the line between lane harassment and risky overextension to stay safe, and get one or two proper wards to make sure jungling isn't dangerous. Or am I missing something entirely here o_O | ||

Lich is also great fun. | ||

That's, of course, my own opinion. I'm not even sure what you're basing the difficulty of each hero on, but generally speaking, it's completely subjective and player-dependent. You could perhaps suggest some easy-to-use heroes for new players to try out (vengeful spirit and lion come to mind), but going so far as to categorize the "difficulty" of every support hero could end up pretty misleading. | ||

But I think many new people would do bad things to themselves and tame too many creeps and ruin their farm/experience a lot in the jungle. And what the guy above me said too. :-) | ||
