Portal key is nice because it makes him almost unkillable after he gets rank 4 phase. Phase lasts 3 sec = portal key cooldown after someone attacks you.

So you orb in, silence, ulti, phase, and blink to somewhere safe until your spells are off cooldown.

Necro/Puzzlebox also sounds really awesome on him though. You can spawn those minions right in their face! Also they cannot run away because of your ult. Almost like Pharaoh, just Puzzle fits even better on Puck! Nice tip =)

A support without farm is a complete liability. They need some cs to at least maintain wards boots bracers/power supply town portals and counter wards at times. They shouldn't be taking a majority of farm, but zero farm is out of the question because they will just die over and over again.

Also plague nuke first isn't bad, it really depends on your lane and what you are against, you can secure many fb's with nuke first and plague can push alot of lanes back with level 1 nuke. I really only encourage ritual first if you are being a defensive lane or plague is babysitting in the hard lane.

The big part people seem to not see about supports is that they have to actually be good at last hitting because they should concede free farm to a carry, but when they have the chance to farm they need to make sure they get all of the last hits so they have some farm too.

Yeah. That's logical. However, in most "pro" games I've seen (replays and HoN cast basically), PR always has like 40g/min. Isn't that basically just the base gold/minute?

That's not to say I disagree with your last paragraph. Most supports do need some farm.


i want a link to which replay you saw a "pro" game with a 40g/min plague.

I just looked through my local replays and couldn't find it. I'll start searching through HoNCast.

I'm glad my post elicited some non-spam posting. (Don't jinx it!)

Edit: I can't seem to watch the ondemand videos on HoNCast. I can remember one example which was a tourney game. It was team five with Testie as chronos mid and a PR as babysitter.
Edit2: Well, I just found this game and plague had 100g/min as the final. He had ~80 for early mid game and then ~130 for late game. This does not support my memory.
Edit3: I'll have to look into this more some other time. Have an exam tomorrow. I absolutely agree that supports need to be just as efficient at farming as other characters though.

It's just the stereotypical case of a low-hp hero who's skills need a bit of a "touch" to use at their highest effectiveness. Read a guide and play him more.

If anyone didn't see.

I'm also up for joining the team :<

I agree with what everyone is saying about supports, though Durak's 40gpm seems to low. They need gold to buy boots, stack bracers, buy wards too.

Dagger is really good on puck becase:
1) Your orb is really slow and easy to dodge, so blink does allow you to initiate better sometimes.
2) Combined with phase shift, once you got blink you are very hard to kill.
3) it allows you to escape after initiating into the fight with orb, as then you can phase shift+blink away rather than dying.
4) Having a blink dagger is always fun, and makes puck a lot more fun to play.

Few bracers on puck are really important too, because he has so low hp. Your next main item depends on what's gonna work best vs their lineup. Should be something like hex/shivas/necro though.

It has nothing to do with the orb. Puck with Blink Dagger makes you damn impossible to kill especially on certain locations of the map. It's both offensive and defensive, and Phase makes effectively makes the Blink Dagger pre-nerf.

And support is still really easy to play, still the easiest role to play, all you need is really just understanding once you're past the fundamental mechanics part. Hardest I would say are the semi-carries.

Also this: http://www.gosugamers.net/dota/replays/32456

You know you're in trouble when a Chen opts for a Dagon and VS is picking up Command Aura before 20 mins. It's funny too cause the only player that did remotely well is Ownz (if that's Juice then it makes sense), the difference between skill and experience right there

There's your no farm support for you, NA needs to stick with Tide over ES, because they clearly do not have the skill set to play the ES, the 0-X-Y, where X > 7, and Y > 10 with a level around 12.

I'm not surprised with DTS winning a lot lately.

DTS was like the pinnacle for teams under performing with the talent they have, so I'm glad to see they are winning some more.
