It's fucking amazing - no more ultra fragile 30 mins afk farm, just popping into teamfights and killing shit. Can't remember who posted about it, but thank you sir for this awesome build. Btw you ideally have Radiance before 17min so it's not exactly 30min afk farm | ||

Solo Spectre vs Puck/Disruptor meant I had no farm whatsoever. >_> And it is ~30 minutes, because Radiance won't help you survive. | ||

There are something like ~8 creeps a minute for the first 10 minutes, a good carry typically doesn't need 80 ck at 10 minutes. (there's more than 80 creeps, it just starts at 4 per wave then goes to 5 per wave, especially counting siege units). A support needs money for a few basic items -early tp scrolls, wards, stick, boots (in basically that order of importance - a counter gank tp from a support is generally going to be worth more than a magic stick or boots, though wards may be of more importance). | ||

Learning how to last hit/deny properly is an essential skill even if you're want to play primarily support. It also helps with awareness and knowing when and where you can farm without getting ganked, assuming the opposing team does gank. For real though, please don't farm like a carry if you are not a carry. PLEASE. There are enough supports like this already, don't give people ideas. | ||

Support says they need 3 lasthits and they suck at lasthitting and take 10 creeps to get the 3 lasthits - Do mind. | ||

Also, I think everyone who wants to play on a team should play hard carry for at least a short duration of time at some point. Agreed about solo mid. I think playing hard carry is good for someone who is already comfortable with the game flow and teamfight mechanics and can judge what fights they can and can't win in the vast majority of situations. It's just for someone starting out, it's not a good place to start learning.

Realistically if you plug slots with items for laning/surviving ganks, 20-23 minute Radi is more feasible. And Spec gets Radi to farm, so realistically she still needs at least 1 fighting item (Heart, Manta, or Diffusal) before really being comfortable teamfighting after that (obviously Ultimate lets you contribute to fights as they happen) so its still 25-27 minutes before you really come into your prime. | ||

As much as this attitude sucks, I can understand where he is coming from. I usually only play pos 1/2 heroes, but will fill in with whatever is needed if I take to long with picking. The problem is that I've always played like that, I'm fucking awful at everything else and I don't like it either. At times it's actually worse for the team whenever I pick a support over a carry evem thought it would fit the lineup more. I'm just that bad at it. The entire qq-thread or matchmaking whine about onesided games could be related to stuff like me playing support roles. | ||

Support says they need 3 lasthits and they suck at lasthitting and take 10 creeps to get the 3 lasthits - Do mind. That's true. Most support heroes have bad animations but most support players have adapted to them if they're dedicated support. Also, if you're playing with someone who you've played with for a few hundred games in that role then they won't mind setting up last hits for you and will expect you to help set up last hits for them in general too(especially under the tower). Plus there are some CK that the carry just won't be able to get (two creeps about to die simultaneously, or melee carry and ranged support where creep would be denied by opponents). Carries raging about these CK being taken just get muted instantly by me. When I play in low level games with new friends and the pub carries miss every lasthit and I take them after they've missed and they rage, I just don't know what to say. There's no way to politely tell them they suck at last-hitting. It's really rare I play that scenario, but I know there are plenty of support players stuck with carries like that (probably the majority). Funniest thing I've ever seen to make up for bad lasthitting though - hatchet exort invoker. | ||

Even after Radiance you'll need at least a Diffu and the a Heart/Manta etc. | ||
