Hard Support means Game Knowledge

This role should not be considered a beginner role by any means and I discourage new players to play this role. We can duscuss what roles new players should play in the comments if youd like but this post isnt about that.

As a hard support you have to understand so much about the flow of the game, examples are plenty but ill share a few:

° When to save crucual abilities that can turn teamfights ° When/How to buy sentires and wards ° Saving smokes for the right ganking opportunities ° Timekeep bounties and enemy TPs

This role is a hard role for a reason and has the biggest impact on the quality of game flow. All support heroes currently in dota have early game spikes, that is what determines wether or not youre team has/gets the time and space to do what the draft is meant to, pushing strat, late game strat, ect.

The sole reason for my post is to encourage people with game knowledge to play the role more, you can easily win the game in 20 mins if you play the role right, reguarless if youre mid feeds or youre carry has 20 LH in 8 mins. I hope one day Valve rewards Hard Support players in someway but for now, lets take advantage of the 19-year-ban by encouraging the new players coming in and not sticking them with the hardest role in the draft.
