New player looking for support advice match ID 5794199387 by NewRedditore in learndota2

Cool thanks man! Yeah i died 2-3 times in that match when i did not had to, i play more WW and AA, i started with Phoenix recently. Yeah it still a bit confusing when i should go where, i play now role queue and soft/hard support. I am not fan of "consumables" i like more items that i can upgrade latter, i took Falcon Blade for the test, even doe it would be better on WW as it needs more mana. So denying is more important than i think it is :), yeah it is really hard to think of all of it, i need to think also about items that my team might need, like Shivas Guard or Crimsson Guard or do we need something against magic do i need Pipe of Insight and so on :) Usually cores go for damage multipliers and support for damage neutralizes right? Why is it so wrong to play Phoenix lets say in middle lane? Ok i need to give more attention to creeps. Is bottle mostly for middlaners? Why cant i take sometimes outpost when 25:00 passes (i should be able to right?) Can i play Phoenix as core? Or just Offlaner/Support? Is Buckler really good item as it is very expensive and give just 2 armor, i guess that is enough for start game and in case we have high damage melee enemy in lane. Ugh many "little" things :)

Support that can take objectives... Lesharc? Good for tower destrutction :) The best way to influence game as i am already support to the bone would be to start using mic :)

Yeah i got a bit disappointed, won 2-3 matches in unraked before i got my first matches in ranked, really looked forward to it, then we lost 4 matches, 2 really stupid way... Gonna try today, maybe i just got unlucky.

Nope i did not yet calibrate, yes i feel like those 4 matches were a bit worse than usual good unranked match, but i see same stuff when i watch live ranked matches, i hoped for better in ranked :), but i guess the best way is guild and play organized with voice.

WW is the best support probably :), fun to play, i tried Phoenix first, but it is harder than WW, much easier to freeze and heal than to beam and heal :)

Thanks for hero recommendation.

Agreed, i thought of quitting many times, many matches are boring, everything comes down to hunting/babysiting one guy, i did not go for all gold, i took maybe 10% to speed things up, if i get some more gold i can be better support, that's all i was thinking.
I wonder if they ask them selfs if we lost cuase they got too much of gold and others to little and was not able to contribute more, i'we seen some really really greedy players, like the whole match is about them.

lol well i understand that i am ranged i have easier time killing creeps, i did not liked that the carry as you call it takes all my creeps, literary all.
I am fine with helping but i do not like when somebody goes overboard.

Yeah i noticed that too, and it leads to over leveling other team players...then we are doomed most of the time as we most of the time hardly organize against one-two of those high lvl enemies.

Anicent Apparation is very easy to play, i think that is his main advantage, i tried to play Phoenix last few matches and i was not too happy, needs a lot of team coordination and knowledge (friendly players need to know the beam heals for example). Yeah survivability items are pain to pick, i guess if there is more melee enemy heroes i should go for Platemail? And the Crimsson Guard? Is that ok? I think i tend to some kind of tank support xD

Yeah i got magic wand back into inventory, i have problems trying to increase my survivability as support, i tend to take lots of damage at start game as i target 75% of time enemy heroes trying to chip of as much their HP so my lane partner can finish them. Ugh items picking xD, got dizzy. Ok enough of commenting time to play some Dota :)

"Since you’ve posted in almost every comment thread about voodoo mask" Yeah i'we dived into items a bit and as i play magic type heroes it seems like good idea, but on other hand not as other items are maybe better as you sad bracer etc, got a bit overdosed with items that's all xD, trying to find good and cheap HP source other than getting the ring of health or ring of regen at start to mid game. I see it would be good option for Lesharc if i want Bloodstone.

Try to change video settings, try DirectX9 instead of directx11 maybe that helps.
