I myself just think that Arcs/Voidstone(-> Pointbooster) start feels better in the early game than most other builds. Once completed I like Euls/Drums better. Anyway... My point actually just was: Bloodstone on Death Prophet is no reason to QQ. 9 out of 10 times there will be various other reasons to qq in your game  . | ||

You're going to need a Ghost Scepter/Force Staff/ Scythe/Blink/whatever way more than what Bloodstone gives you. and no, the argument of "you revive faster" is not a good one. Your goal as a support is to not die, not feed faster. Sound logical, well i almost never build one anyway. Most of the time you simply wont have the farm. Last month merlini spoke about the soulbooster being undervalued for only 3300 gold and i agree with that because its a mini bloodstone for almost 2k gold less. Whats your opinion about that item after manaboot+forcestaff? | ||

It's a terrible feeling knowing that you're the main reason your team lost. On the bright side, it probably means I'm slowly moving up in MMR. | ||

I often think that intitators in pubs rely a lot on the team to actually follow up an initiation, i really dislike playing puck, enigma, batrider and heros like that in pubs because of that. | ||

Whats your opinion about that item after manaboot+forcestaff? I'm not quite the dota authority (Yango is), but as a support I'm usually too poor to spend 3300 gold on what is essentially 450 HP, and I don't have any spare item space between boots, TP, wards + 2 items + detection. Note that a simple Bracer gives you 114 HP if you're in dire need of HP. Basically, as a support it comes down to two things: are you winning? if so, it doesn't matter what you're gonna buy because you're already winning. Are you losing? ok, what item can you get that will prevent that/prevent dying. Most of the time, 450 HP isn't what's gonna save you from dying, Ghost/Force/Blink is. and for the question Hex is usually better for pretty much the same cost. | ||

Have to agree with this feeling. I'm pretty sure my Batrider is AWFUL but on the other hand I honestly feel my Puck is alright...but my winrate on Puck is diabolically bad. :-\ | ||

I mean, I don't mind playing support if everyone in the damn team wants to play carry, but it would be nice if someone else could take that if I for once first pick. Laning TB top with an exort invoker leads to feeding and and a terrible game. There's just nothing fun about being insta gibbed by an Ursa with TERRIBLE items, knowing that their whole team is at least as bad as I am, yet being completely rofl stomped. Oh well, was a lost game right at the picks, no use being annoyed. | ||

Oh well, was a lost game right at the picks, no use being annoyed. Story of my life. I am primarily a support player and play it in 90/100 of my games, no exaggeration. On some occasions I feel like carrying, and I say so on the player loading screen, on the hero select screen and place the icon of the carry I want to play on the safelane. But the I still get pudge/naix/LC/Void picks. Like what the fuck. I really hate it when this happens. | ||

Was trying to carry some really fucking shitty guys, one guy was jungling with Necro and ended up feeding 4-18. While I am almost winning the game for them by splitpushing my clockwerk player gets a really fucking brilliant idea, he literally said "we need to fight outside base" !??!?!?! If they just fucked deffed the base I could have split pushed 2 raxes, no one in the enemy team had tps. But no this jackass hooked right in to 5 ppl outside the base and the rest of my retards in the team thought his idea was so good so they followed him up, they got 2x ravaged and all of them wiped. Holy fucking shit how bad can player fucking be. | ||

Neither the nyx assassin or nightstalker want to got plant the wards, but insist that I do it. Inevitably the naix kills me twice, after which I refuse to plant the wards. This aparently deserves 20 minutes of flaming, even though we won the match. If you have invis \ insane movement speed, why donyou want to plant the wards????? | ||

COME ON, lol  If you're going to abandon at least disconnect so we get your gold, and don't come back to feed their team more, you're actually less of a liability after afking for ten minutes if you just disconnect. | ||

As soon as they get even a little bit ahead, they start to oneshot you, and you're WAY too slow to get away. Such a fun support to play with friends though. | ||
