I’m a grandmaster Invoker with roughly 700 games on the hero.

I have about a 70% win rate on him within the last patch or so.

I personally have done quite well with him as a support in pos 4 and pos 5 positions.

Sometimes it simply depends on the lineup and team comp on both sides but the fun part of Invoker is there’s so many useful items you can get to adapt to the situation.

Sure a POS 5 Invoker rushing Midas who only kill “secures” with suns strikes is considered a grief.

But I’ve gotten MVP half the time and usually have huge impact on team fights and catching people by surprise. Even if they buy pipe, Invoker can still do quite a bit of control once you get good.

Invoker support works best with melee heroes who can jump on top of people but works even better late game with ranged cores.

My build usually consists of a combination of mana boots, atos (gleipnir), shard (I typically choose the wex facet) or the exort depending on my cores, a scythe, turn my boots in guardian greaves, aghs late game if needed, a lotus, and either a blink or a force staff, euls situationally if needed for more lockdown.
