A lot of people co,plain its not worth playing support but after playing random my first 100-150 games I started play Kotl only Going wards and courier at start, mek, hex etc. I started winning more then I lost and reached high mm where kotl is even better. Even every other game where u dominate you can go carry kotl with dagon, etc .

So just find your goto support hero and do your best and you will start winning. It sucks though when your team picks no carry and you cant finish .

It's a bit more complex than that. It's not as simple as picking a support hero, and playing support will cause you to win games.

You winning games is mostly a factor of you playing better. Some people tend to find supports easier to play better, and by playing better, you enable your team to get more victories.


I think, probably the biggest increase to my skill came not when I decided to stick to my support role (kotl really is OP ), but when I started realizing all the different ways you can win a game, as a support. If you have a carry who can potentially out-carry their entire team, or at least stand toe-to-toe, buying wards/flying and grabbing a mek at some point is really good, because you enable your carries to farm, and your mid to gank. I call this type of support "enabling" support.

You can also shift to more of a "playmaker" role, if you don't trust your mid, or if they have a heavy carry line-up. This involved less buying wards, and more running around the map like a chicken with your head cut off, trying to force fights anyway possible where you will come out ahead.

I also like the "deal-with-me-or-die" support role which is just pushing all lanes, and the "carry from behind", where you slowly build up carry items, becoming more and more effective as the game progresses.

Having more ways to win a game underneath your belt is the most surefire way to win more (pub) games. This advice extends to carries and mid-laners, and all roles.


My QQ for the day: Nyx assasin. Why does this hero even exists? Its sole purpose is to troll supports. I haven't been in a game with Nyx that I honestly thought was a good game, because he ruins everything. I hope he gets nerfed again... 0 cd invis with a huge nuke/stun combo.

What hero would you suggest to develop my gameplay, im good at supporting, ok at initiators and bad at carrying?

Furion, his potential global presence will force you to improve your game sense

he is useful all game due to his pushing potential and can fill the late game carry role due to his ability to flash farm

he's also a glass cannon pretty much all game so your micro should improve

Three games tonight. Three losses.

First one as above.

Second one Kunkka decides to go top with Troll. Between them they feed Luna about ten kills in fifteen minutes. GG. On the upside I did ok microing with Visage, I guess all that practicing with Meepo vs bots is paying off with my multitasking.

Third one. QoP manages to feed the hell out of Pudge mid who then goes roaming. Huskar got hooked by Pudge when he had hardly any life and then bitched at me (on Lich) because I didn't frost armour him despite the fact he was going to die ANYWAY and doing so would probably have slowed me enough for their other team members to get me. Only person on the whole team with a positive K/D was Doom (who had been laning with me). Just no chance.


Seriously, why are people SO BAD? Feeders, feeders everywhere. I wouldn't mind if they were dying on supports to save carries but they're not, they're just dying over and over and over.

it is idiot day today in my bracket.

tide who builds treads into vlads.
venge who decides to play carry with 3 melee carries already in the line up and bitches at everyone else for wards
russian duo pair who whine incessantly over in game audio while being unusually awful (if you can't micro familiars, why not just don't pick visage rather than pick him and never take his ulti)

oh well
