This is SO HELPFUL. Thank you for posting this guide!

Just an fyi, basically all of the scourge/dire spots no longer work, while most of the radiant ones do.

Just to let y'all know, Korok is streaming right now. Haven't seen him stream much before, so could be worth checking out.

He streamed all the time when he played hon. One of the other players it was worth watching who streamed frequently. Others either just pubstomped 24/7 or played for money with bad players.

Been playing nothing but hard support in pubs. Really starting to get a feel for how to make plays happen and how to generally secure an early advantage for your team. It is really really fun. At first, I thought going support in a pub was the worst idea ever, as it just consisted of me buying wards and trying to keep my team from dying in horrendous situations. Now, I feel that when playing a support, you have to be both the most aggressive player on the map, and the most cautious of your limits. You need to set your team up for success, which isn't just buying courier/wards. Figuring out how to make kills happen with a 600hp crystal maiden is fucking awesome.

So, that aside, what support players does TL consider to be the absolute best of the best? Personally, I don't watch much chinese dota but from what I hear, they have it down to an art form. My personal favorites are NS and CWM for hard support, Puppey, Ivz, and Kebap for secondary support.

We need a name specific to Dota to call people like this guy Jeremy. I was thinking along the lines of Dota-Hole or something dumb, not sure yet.

Support is a fun role, the only problem occurs when that jugernaut you have been securing free farm too goes out of his way to buy a shadow blade first or something along those lines.

I'll rather have people like Jeremy then usual guys I get in every DotA 2 match I play who spam caps locked cyrillic insults entire game... without any reason with occasional badly written English curse (something about my mother most of the times) that goes on copypaste for few minutes.

Anyway, very often I feel the worst of mankind plays DotA...

Yea, I usually only play support these days and I've realized that if your team does not farm or take advantage of the early game advantage, its really easy to have everything go downhill from there.

Worse is that you sacrifice your farm only to find out that your team buys joke items instead of getting the proper items like say a BKB or something.

Satisfying? Yes but it can be equally frustrating.

I don't like playing support because most of the time, my teammate who first picked riki/spectre/void/am/morph/dk/weaver has 50cs at 20min.

Yea generally if I win the early game for my team, I don't care as much if my team loses when playing support. Wins/Losses in pub games are really a non-factor. It's all about personal performance.

Unrelated note, does anyone know how to watch replays that you have either downloaded or using the url thing? I haven't been able to get the url to work.

My favorite support is Lich You have a good nuke, don't need item to boost your mana pool and you're useful in teamfights (especially in pub where players are usually clumped). Fun to play too.
