Hello Liquiddota,

I am thinking of a weekly Blog that contains information about support game play in pubs, competitive dota and also drafting related stuff.

Some Ideas:
- Flavor of the Month Heroes
- Draft Analysis in competitive games
- Solo Supporting in Pubs
- Support Hero Guides for Pubs
- General Support Ideas
- Meta game shifts that are support related
... and much more

If you have other ideas what should be covered, let me know via the comments. I will read everything to make sure the weekly contains stuff that can help people.

Looking forward to it! The topic I most want to see covered is detection vs. invis/shadow blade heroes, and the gold tradeoff between buying detection and having the items to survive an initiation from stealth.

Oh boy - I got some super good example in mind for that from some of my teams official games

Yes please! I would also like to learn more about itemisation in particular situations (any common or uncommon situation you can think of).

Sounds like something I would be very interested in following. I would love to hear your thoughts about allocating farming space for supports, when and for how long it is appropriate and the best ways to go about it without sacrificing map control or putting cores at unnecessary risk of being caught out / falling behind.

I really loved your first series on being a support and I would love more. I think it would be helpful for some low-mid tier players to really bore down on specific actions supports do, like ganking mid or stacking while still being a threat to lane. A lot of that stuff seems really simple, but really getting indepth on how to get the most out of the jungle in the first 10 minutes of the game would be awesome.

Also how to farm with supports without taking over a lane. That is one of the hardest parts when it comes to learning a new support is figuring out how to get farm without stealing it directly from my core. That might be to hear specific. But if you’re doing it weekly, it could be cool.

Your points are all really solid. When I started to play with my current team, it was a long road for me to get efficient on the map. Where, when and what to farm at given game states. I will pick that up for sure.

Awesome. I'd love an article about how move as a pure 5 when the 4 position is a jungler. (if that's too newby a topic I understand though :D)

I'd like seeing highlights of replay analysis. Like following the support's PoV and analysing his positioning, decision making, builds vs matchups, strategy vs lineups, etc!

Though it might be more appropriate in video format of five to ten minutes.

I might cover it in both forms, as a video and in text.

Looks like some excellent content lined up.

I'll be sure to kick my support playing friends towards it so they can finally start stacking ancients for me.

I'm looking forward to whatever you write, as long as it's not accompanied by unnecessary numerical divisioning.

I'd actually love to see some math when necessary like when you wanna show how 2 builds differ in damage output. The thing that comes to my head immediately is when I try to do shorthand math on how to build my venge (3-2-0-1 vs 1-2-2-1) based on how my lane matchups and my lane partner and how the lane is "behaving".
