Supporting in pubs is really really hard, but I find it very rewarding when it actually comes together. The problem is just that there is simply nothing you can do when your carrys dont carry. At the moment I am quite fond of playing Shadow Shamen (Tower gold into mek :-)), but there is a pattern that after the Tier 1 towers are pushed down I get killed a lot in teamfights as people are running away after getting hit once and I stand there like an idiot shackling while everyone else runs away. | ||

Whenever I play with him, I just pick the other support and make sure that my other friend who only plays carry is getting his space to farm. At least I am pretty sure that my friend who only plays carry is actually making good use of the space I am creating for him. Thankfully the friend who plays support that I mentioned earlier responds to pings when I tell him we should try to smoke and go mid or when I think the offlaner is playing too aggressively and is actually killable. Supporting in solo MM is a whole different monster really and is an experience I rarely enjoy. Unless I'm Rubick and there's lots of good spells to steal. i feel as if supports dont pull enough in MM games. often you have a lane that is just lost from the get go and the carry cant last hit regardless if there is a support or not. thats true for most meele hard carries when they are up against a dual lane (guess one of the reasons why hardcarries suck so much in terms of winrate in pubs). i see the classical "i stand behind my carry and cast a spell once in a while"- support way to often in games where you get harrassed to death every time you go for a lasthit and if the support tries to fight them he just dies. i think there are only two instances where supports can fuck things up with pulls: - push the lane through single pulls or unsuccessful pull throughs - pull when your lane is actually stronger than the opponents lane. in all other cases the carry cant farm anyway except under the tower. | ||

Its just a depressing experience when you're sitting there watching your carry have a completely empty lane thanks to you forcing their offlane all the way back and he's STILL unable to get a last hit and is just autoattacking. :-\ I like supporting but my winrate is more or less consistently better on carries or supports with semi-carry potential. | ||

Pro scene influence over pubs is too strong, unfortunately. My advice - just pick CM and break faces, rather than support. You will be surprised how good "supports" are at killing shit when they are not wasting their time "babbysitting" AM to farm for 20 minutes so he could farm for another 20 minutes, but faster. | ||

In the final part of the tutorial, you have to play 10 games with a limited hero pool. If you already had an account before the tutorial system was introduced, you get to skip all that. Ah, okay. I guess I must have set up my account beforehand, although I only started playing earlier this year. | ||

You can't just pick Chen, go mid and play Dota, unless you want to play 4v5 coz someone will report you and leave to train for TI5 qualifiers.

I play pseudo hard support in pubs at a low level. It's okay. I just buy wards when I have money and it's off cooldown, and good positioning and disables can win teamfights. Although when we lose everyone blames me for being so squishy. I just avoid feeding and get farm when I can. | ||
