Yup i understand that. I can play anything but it is actually shocking to know how most people dont have a clue how to play support at all. Good support is rarer than mid/carry player -_- I wanted to go with whatever carry hero i randomed and kill shit but then i knew i am risking that the team lost the game before i can do anything for the team. I feel disgusted at times to treat my team with luxury support services (not too rare to have 3 branches at 10mins in some tough games when sentry/ward needed) but then team failed or the mofo free farm carry failed hardcore and blame the rest of team. You are not a cunt, we are all human! | ||

It's funny you say that, because recently I decided I was going to try to get better at the game by practicing the same hero in many games. But for that I would need to choose a hero that fits in basically every situation. And I went with Windrunner. By practicing and getting better with a hero, I thought I would win more games. Sadly though, I've found that it just seems to make it more likely that I'm the best player on a team full of mediocre allies or one absurdly bad ally when we lose. I'm starting to branch out more though. I've got Windrunner, Death Prophet, Bounty Hunter, Tidehunter, and Faceless Void and Luna in the unlikely scenario that no one else on my team chooses a carry. And I'm working on Dark Seer and Beastmaster. | ||

WR can be played as a support but if I pick her it's almost always to solo suicide. It really comes down to me being better at Veno than WR probably. | ||

If I have Stout+Vit+Cloak in inventory, and I select to buy Hood at the side shop, it builds Vanguard and drops the 2 RoRs. I understand I had to drop the Stout or Vit to make it build properly in DotA 1, but I would expect them to have fixed this in DotA 2. If I select a specific item in the side shop that I have components for, it shouldn't apply the normal slot-order auto-build priority--it should just build the item I want to build. At the very least if it's going to be like that, Vanguard should be disassemble-able. | ||

Every semi-carry ganker/pusher like NS or DP Lesh just gona rush it and break it into blood stone later on. May be change the RoH cost into poorman shield + RoRegen then make it breakable, make it more fair. its not really cost effective. on DP and lesh it is ass. also im not sure why NS would break it into bloodstone... | ||

If you meld as TA and attack a hero such as Riki/sand king as they go invisible (passive/sandstorm). So they disjoint the hit after you have attacked, you are still melded but you can run around in invisible forever, even use bottle/runes/potions and stuff its pretty sick. When you attack it stops though, but my god i was having some fun  | ||
