This game got me thinking: what line-up can possibly be the most nightmarish for supports?

Storm and Spectre are obvious cores, who else?

The invis supports are the most annoying. Bh, riki, tree, nyx. Not even hard, just irritating. Pudge is up there too

Safelane necro is not hard at all if played against vs weaver. He juz keep running backoff while being hit. Sometimes juz fight and 1-1 exchange is not bad. Gyro and drow juz happily hitting a running necro cos they know he wont bite back, and it down to 4 vs 5 when one of the hero is keep running in the team fight. And necro should buy forcestaff for him besides eul, man u gonna stand in a correct path to do something. What i saw in the game in: fuck, i m being hit, blademail and run... And died.


Lol, when 5 heroes focus you and you got 0 support yes. Thats why he bought eul/blademail to compensate for garbage supports. Forcestaff might be somewhat useful but thats another supoport/utility item. You kinda proving my point anyway, but you've entered an argument you cant win so just dance around the same thing I've been saying from start: they got outdrafted and his supports were garbage. That makes him ineffective carry? Cool, more power to you.

this game is so over, glad these are BO3. i think serenity is a generally better team than Optic, and I say this as a former optic fanboi.

Worse draft. Serenity also kept up in NW while losing all fights this game. Not easy.

Maybe my meepo suggestion would have gone better. Though not sure, wasn't mid that was the major problem.

In Bo1 anything can happen, and Fnatic had shitty draft and didn't play well, while at the same time let Necro through the draft that single handedly destroyed Ursa's lane and got too fat, they couldn't scratch him in team fights.
