support gets credit

why would you want to friend 4 other players who picked 4 carries in the same game?

True that: I always find Venomancer, Crystal Maiden and Witch Doctor players going for a Shadow Blade without buying one single set of wards; Aghanim's Scepter rush is also a pretty standard things for pub supports ( Lich on top of the list), too. Fortunately I usually fill the map with wards and buy survivability or team-oriented items, so that's not a problem when I'm supporting in the same team (I still get upset if it happens while I'm carrying, though).

Great to hear about this :)

I know that feel bro, i am only a support player(mostly any and every) most of the time i get friend requests every game :3, because people rarely see supports who know their work.The best thing to do is buy consumables when your partner is low and give it to him, you dont know how happy it will make them :P

Playing support with good carries is a lot of fun but really frustrating when they are inexperienced or just not good.

I am starting to really like playing CM as a bit of a roaming support hero that can help get early kills and ensure that the various lanes are won.

I have been in some games with 4 carries and sometimes it works if they are good enough at ganking early on.

I enjoy playing support.
Played a game last night where I played naga support.
I spent the entire game setting up ganks either on mid or their carry.
We dominated that game while I ended up with mek, drums and arcane boots. Supports shouldn't be bored

I very often play support because in my current skill bracket most other players pick carries and have no idea how to support well. That being said, one of my better personal experiences was from someone else supporting. There was a pretty green fellow who randomed Meepo in a pub. He had no idea how to play the hero and didn't know how to repick. He asked to switch before game to resounding silence from everyone else. I ended up laning with this guy. At first he was generally getting in the way and stealing farm from my carry, who I did actually know how to play. So far this sounds like a terrible story, but the thing is, when I somewhat gruffly told him to stop stealing and switch to supporting, he actually took the advice and did a good job considering he had never played Meepo before. He got off a lot of nets that made early killed happen and really helped to keep my hero alive. I thanked him very much after the game. The moral of the story is, it's always worth it to try talking to your team mates, unless you get killed while typing. :)

To counter balance that story I will relate a pet peeve I've encountered numerous times. Carries who last hit for ****. I'll be supporting, not taking a single last hit for myself, harassing the opposition out of XP range and generally blowing everything I have to give this guy free farm. When I finally check the carries XP somehow he has less than I do. It's maddening.
