It is quite satisfying to bounce your ulti off the entire team and genocide them as a support hero. i've gotten a quad kill with VS' wave before. :D granted i was following up an ES ult, it was still awesome. | ||

What I find really awesome as lich is the positional effect your ult has in team fights. Any good team will instantly spread as soon as they see the plague ult causing a unique opportunity to pick off heroes and zone out carries with stuns. Either that or your ult will do terrible terrible damage  | ||

I just really like the idea of a zippy hero without a escape mechanism that can be mended as the game develops into any role with the right items. Have you played Razer yet? Does it feel the same as it was in Dota? Judging by recent videos, the attack animation looks a hell lot easier to work with 8D | ||

Sand King is not the typical support just to point out an example. But this blog is good for players who wanna get into Dota 2 but as you get further you see that it is not the simple in terms of hero roles. This is totally wrong. The higher you get, the less ways there are to play a hero, since people are playing closer and closer to optimal levels. Heroes have roles because that's what they're best at. You can't carry in a competitive game with Sand King, but at lower levels you could. Playing Sand King as anything besides ganking/support would be an automatic loss at higher levels of play. | ||

In soul I am an support too and from an interview with NaVi they said the gameleader is best as a support, and I like to think of myself as a leader and always liking to help other people out and do the "boring" job which I found fun to do. Enigma is definitealy my favorite hero and I am quite good with him but I don't think he is that hard to play, maybe just me who have got a good feeling for it or something. Thanks for the guide though I appreciate all ur blogs and Flamewheels Anti-mage blog was pretty sick too and kick ass long. | ||

Ofcourse you play the heroes roles in high levels but! as you mention yourself Sand King can be played as ganker/support and for me that is two different things and that is what i don't like with blogs like this. The heroes are sat into categories but some can be played many various ways than others. | ||

I also love supporting in this game, it's much more fun than simply healbotting all day. It's a ridiculously complex task, but this guides (and others like it) really help new players IMO. Yeah I know how you feel. Used to play hon and feel in love with supporting (cuz my fps/ping was so bad, I couldn't carry for shit because of the lag, so I played support. Ended up getting pretty good at it, and so I now play support when I pub with my friends on Garena Dota. Fav hero is thrall, because he has a pretty high skill cap and has cool as shit spells. He's also pretty item independent, yet can still maximise effectiveness by So yeah, thats why I like support. Also Phoniex is fun as hell. | ||

I was thinking of writing a blog about what I believe to be the most important rule of thumb. "Know your role", and support is definitely one of the most important roles, and not as some might think it, the easiest. | ||

Playing Support is definitely a whole new game. You have to work with little money and sacrifice your own character progression in the game to help the team. A good Support definitely makes or breaks a team (pretty much like any other role, really) by having good presence of mind of knowing when to ward, when to lane, when to TP, and when to roam. | ||
