Life as a support…. | ||

"I already bought AND upgraded courier..." - from supports 10 minutes into the game without a single ward being placed after contesting for last hits with a position 1. Look man...if you're going to support, can you please actually support? Support play does not start and finish with the damn courier. As a simple example: if there's a pudge on their team, the hard carry will want to know if he's coming when farming. They get very unhappy when a hook comes out of nowhere and go flying into a rotting hunk of flesh who then tears them apart. If you DON'T want to support then don't pick it. I'm cool with that! Really! I like playing support, I'll do it myself! But when we have no carry or mid I'm going to pick a carry or mid and expect you to actually do your job. | ||

But after the laning phase, when we are in the jungle, trying to make up levels and get some farm to get those items we need to stay alive and help out, it is so annoying when a carry or mid dives in and steals the farm and XP. How am I supposed to save your ass from VS with glimpse if I don’t have mek and I am made of candy glass? | ||

I will ask if I can take a few last hits just to get an early item, like soul ring on Bane, since it makes me so bad ass. But most of the time I got out of my way to find farm in other places in the first 10 minutes of the game. I buy sentry ward for my offlaner if necessary(if they need to block the pull camp).

How am I supposed to save your ass from VS with glimpse if I don’t have mek and I am made of candy glass? I bet people yell at you over that too. X-D It drives me nuts when people do that. Having played a lot of support for quite a long time you seem to end up getting four phrases thrown at you in my experience: "Buy wards!" "Why don't you have Mek/Pipe/Whatever?" "Omg why arent you helping fight?" "Noob, stop dying!" So many fail to realise they're basically all contradictory. A support almost by definition is likely to get blown up when fully committed to a fight, so the only real survival strategy is to stay back and if you're blowing all of your farm on wards and stuff then it becomes insanely hard to afford a mek. I usually make a point of harrassing the opposing laners myself a bit, giving my support a few hits for wards and stuff to make my own life easier. Its just annoying that when I play support I'm often sitting there with a set of tango, a clarity and maybe a couple of branches if I'm lucky 5-10 minutes in having had to pay for courier, up, wards and sentries because of a broodmother or gondar and then when I play carry I see them wandering around with most of a set of drums and no wards at the same time whilst the enemy Pudge is merrily fishing away with his hook. | ||

Team proceeds to pick (dont know exact order) PL, Medusa, Kunkka and WR. WR says "me and Kunkka safelane". It's clear the enemy team has a solo Bristleback as their offlaner, so I suggest to trilane. WR agrees and says "Ok, you harass the enemy I am in the jungle". So here I am - zoning the Bristleback. We're both at level 1. Then suddenly a stacked creepwave moves forward and gives the BB free XP under his tower. "You pulled without stacking?" "Yep, why not?"...... Overall the game was fun (even though we lost - largely due to my fault stealing Enigma's ult with no mana to cast it (fucking FadeBolt), and a second time when I was thinking "Enigma's ult should still be on CD" when it wasnt), but stuff like that always makes me sad  It's not like "stack before pull (or double pull)" is some super high support strat. | ||

But this really needs a fix.. I played like 600 games and I got only 1 rare drop. (SS announcer.) But a random guys abandons game and gets a mythical. This is bullshit. | ||

Well fuck you, he had 200 hp and I was only seconds away with lasso. If you rp him, then we can kill him twice easily - he already wasted his chronosphere and his buyback, so maybe just do it? What a draaaaaaaaag.... | ||

I went Vladmir's Offering and Mek on doom. I mean, there is a pretty good chance that one of the carries are going to do their job (carrying the game). Nobody knew how to farm properly, so even though it went late, we had no chance since I had spend all my money on supportive vestments, and 4 other carries that can't properly make use for it. | ||

Timber goes 2-13 and blames me for not being able to farm when the Spirit Breaker he fed is roaming the map killing everyone. And by blame me i mean spam the 2 broken english phrases all russians know. "X noob" "X bad" I miss when i was atleast capable of communicating with teammates in video games. | ||

 This has been about 40 minutes of absolutely wasted time, just because of a stupid non-punishable mechanic that allows you to leave if you dislike your hero or your team's heroes or your team's mentality or WHATEVER really. Wtf VOLVO FIX! | ||
