Look, they are taking their supports for granted. I am showing them a world without wards and how limited their farming options can be. Then they will appericate the wards when I buy them after my mek is finished.

Forget mek, buy midas, it will pay for many meks and wards to come

New meta, supports forgo wards till Midas. It's investing in the future and beyond. New Omi knight strat. Midas into mek into aghs to refresher. At that point he is to big to fail.

I call it the Bank of America build. It's so much fail it goes full circle and become successful again.

well you cant really buy that many wards since the buytime nerf so midas is the way, just bully the other supportive hero to get the wards for the first 15mins.

i am not being mean or something, is how icefrog wants us to play the game like that lol

obviously get that damn flying cour/ward when you got an early kill as a support, you dont want to piss off karma god in dota.
is 2017, stop being lame, fuck's sakes. 'Can't wait for the rise of the cakes and humanity's last stand tbqh.'

i havent bought wards at all recently because im trying to get better at actually supporting with spells and shit, i always used to think i was doing great because we had vision and shit but in reality i was just walking gold for the other team.

Or you could do both instead of using the extra gold from not buying wards as a crutch.

its not the gold, its the thinking about placing wards, it seriously affects me

Judging by his CS, kill count, and lack of Radiance, I'd guess he was in enough early fights for it to be worth it.

By that point, at TP slot would be good though.

It's just a bit odd not seeing a single TP in the whole game, even if it's an endgame screen

Since we're dick measuring, http://dotabuff.com/matches/688752214 this is my favorite recent game I've played. Position 5, ward bitch, single support (other 'support' was jungle doom) witchdoctor. Bought wards, smoke ganked mid and got most hero damage in the whole 55 minute game, more than a 6 slot rapier medusa. Supports (and witchdoctors especially) win games.

Huh. I don't get that so much. That's probably more what you need to focus on: balancing support priorities. The rest of what a support needs to do can be practiced effectively in the offlane (not feeding and casting stuff).

ive been playing more offlane (windrunner) and jungle supports (enigma, enchant) whenever i can (unless ive been trying to win at all costs), ive been avoiding playing lane supports

Isn't Enchantress one of the premier wardbitches? She can farm up ward gold in a flash, and is going to want to be running around the map anyway.
