If you're in range of your blink dagger, give your hero a short distance move command, shift queue the blink and the follow-up RP and your hero will execute it as quickly as possible. Once you get your RP off, move around to the back side of the heroes and skewer them into the rest of your team if necessary. Thanks for the suggestion, I knew that the shift-queing worked in this game but I always hesitated to utilize it due to just fear of failure. I'll better try that alone in a practice game versus bots and use it the next time. | ||

shift q blink after epicenter makes sense but shift q blink and rp just really really doesnt make sense. what is the mindset when you are doing such a move? both spells are instant cast so i better q them up ahead of time to have more chance of missing???? | ||

If you want to avoid getting silenced/hexed by people with insane reaction times, then you take your own fingers out of the equation and queue. I don't do it, but it's an option. Just because you don't do it doesn't mean everyone does it the way that you do, or that your way is the best. You don't have to move your hero more than a step to queue this kind of series, which will be like an additional .25-.5 secs on your execution. | ||

Actually, you have more incentive to queue instant-cast spells. Spells with a backswing you don't want to shift-queue because you want to manually cancel out of the backswing. | ||

and by backswing do you mean animation cancel? | ||

Reverse polarity starts casting so fast, that it can interrupt the blinking cast. | ||

But also, I dont even know if Im even playing the support role as its suppose too. KotL f.ex, how would I play him? I get some support items, such as mekansm and some other things listed in the dota2wiki, but what does this help when I dont even know the basics about support. I've read some theroies about this, but sadly, Im a kind of guy that learns from examples. What if I last hit too much (or push with illuminate)? I then get excess gold after my basic items. Should I ask to buy the carry some upgrades, or parts of it? | ||

I started this game about 3 weeks ago, my first Dota game ever, yet, there are so many people worse then me that makes it hard to play support.

Search function is your buddy. :o http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=377503 Edit: I'm not sure if he ever got around to add some basic "How to zone bitches in lane"-part, but that's what I see weak supports fail at the most (besides proper pulls). tl;dr: If you're 2n1 go ahead and keep the 1 guy out of xp range, even if it means staying lvl 1 yourself. You can catch up after your farming carry got some levels and will be fine against the enemy solo. | ||

Btw, Powershot starts at 1/3rd of the full damage with no charge and reaches max damage after ~0.7 seconds. You don't have to charge it the whole 1 second. | ||

Its not possible that RP can interrupt blink unless you are pressing it wrongly I figured it out, and you can interrupt the blink (sort of). If you're not facing in the right direction, you will start turning before you blink. If you cast the blink, then spam r while you turn, you will not blink and just reverse polarity. | ||
