Never seen it work out all that great though. edit, a more serious responce. Invis costs money for supports. So they are poor and can't afford save items. Allowing the invis heroes to keep feeding off them. Late games cores can't carry detection so if you pick off supports you can often just walk away. The other thing we see with treant and nyx is scouting . Free ward and setup that you need to spend 100 gold a minute as support to make less effective, not stop. | ||

You have the defensive side with sentries and positioning working against it. Then offensive side that splits map, gets money and moves around your moves. I think people have become better at dodging the 5 man balls that invis prompts and splitting up for money advantage. Position 6 supports aren't wanted any longer either. It was them that used to get all that detection. Now you want a saving or initiating item even on them so they skimp as much as they can. | ||

Feels horrible when you lose. Always feel like blaming my teammates, even though most of the time it was me they were feeding on.  | ||

Now you want a saving or initiating item even on them so they skimp as much as they can. if you don't have detection, then don't make moves that blatantly play into invis heroes' advantage. it's just sloppy moves like serenity trying to 3-man push a t1 against a nyx and having no cover, or mineski being set up for like a minute and not putting a sentry on the most likely clinkz path | ||

The problem comes in the mixed message they get. They need items and detection and the team never clears up that they should just ignore items and a pos 3 getting vlad or something is needed to compensate. | ||
