I am not a great roamer, so I prefer babysitting a hard carry like Spectre. I really love harassing the sh*& out of enemies during early laning stage. I also find denying quite satisfying.
Or I could just get Lycan and rape everyone. Oh wait, Lycan is nerfed. I'd better get someone else. Terrorblade, say your prayers. Especially you supports, if you are on my side I will spare you.
My Elder Titan will make your Terrorblade as fragile as a Sniper.
Also back on topic. Prefer 2-4 roles. Yet usually end up being a hard 5 due to other people not caring to play support.
#5 for me all the way. There's nothing better than knowing you're achieving the most for your Team during the Early Game without the boredom of having to sit around hitting Creeps. <}3
Having said that, I do tend to play all Positions (except a Jungling 4...it never goes well ._. ).
You know, 5 hard support aint awful, I actually play a lot of that recently. But I really think my position is 3. I also play a lot of 2 cause I always loved mid heroes. But the more I progress, the more I love playing3, although it's rare on my **** trench that I can solo a lane. I really think the 3's are the heroes I love the most, but I might need a bit more micro skills if I want to go further in that position.
I usually prefer playing the #1 or #2 role. I've tried playing support, but I usually fail at it. I tend to be underleveled and a deadweight on the team during the mid game.
Contrary to what people say, I feel that playing support needs a lot more skill and experience compared to playing carry.
What-to-do-when-playing-carry:
1. Farm creeps, Farm jungle, Farm more creeps
2. Join teamfights mid game at your discretion
3. Late game, push their base.
What-to-do-when-playing-support:
1. Zone out the enemy.
2. Stack and pull camps to get xp/farm.
3. Ward/Deward camps and rotations.
4. Stack ancients if and when possible.
5. Make rotations during the early game to help win other lanes.
6. Position well during teamfights to ensure you don't feed, and get your skills off properly.
7. If your team is winning, you might afford one luxury item late game. If your team is losing, your are in the worst position, since you have no farm, your skills are no longer effective, enemy team has BKBs, you get rolled over.
8. Get satisfaction from the fact that even though your carry went 13-2 and your score was 3-5, it was your rotations, wards and lane support that won the game for your team.
