i have started just randoming every game recently not because i cbf but because i feel that i am at the stage that i can play every hero "bar invoker and meepo" and that i need to increase my skill level on ALL of them. thus my win rate may have dropped but jesus ive been having fun :)

So i had two great games last night.

these werent the "long close tense stressful" type of games.

nor were they the " outdrafted so hard they lost from minute 1" type of games.

these games were the "This is ****ing Awesome Fun" type.

game 1:
I randomed tree. bought boots. level'd leech. got first blood.

then i proceeded to roam "a bit" not heaps but enough.

there was fight after fight after fight and i swear no one was farming much it was constantly fighting. it was pretty fun :)

game 2:randomed ogre. bought boots. level'd stun.

got first blood. and second. and third.

i didnt stay in lane the whole game.

i roamed top we got kills, i roamed mid so many times that sniper was pure food. bottom lane undying nyx.... double kills for days.

this game was ****ing so much fun i never stopped ganking/roaming/forcing fights.

it fit my playstyle so ******** much.

but heres the thing...

who else is a tanky support capable of roaming from level 1?

tree and ogre are two but well... i cant think of any one else....


help?

Jakiro does good with a lvl 1 stun.

vengeful spirit roams amazingly well and has a monster strength gain.

Support Sing-sing style sven is good too.

Wraith King demands to know why you forgot him, peasant!

Aside from those 3, Sven, Earthshaker, Earth Spirit and Tusk.

Jakiro isn't particularly good at Roaming.

Sven is an amazing roamer.

Nuke stun and just walk up and start cleaving away.

A quite tanky hero, just build MoM on him and later Satanic and he doesn't die.


Tree having a ranged stun would be seriously broken. Just blend in with the trees, and then toss the stun, pop your nuke and right click away. He has scary right click too. No support should do that much damage.

You know, Volvo needs to make a Tree carry.

mirana is too squishy and does no damage after arrow. bane doesnt do anything but pauses them plus the range is small and he is waaaaay to squishy.

im looking for heroes that can level one a hero and tank maybe 3-5 hits. plus they need either a heavy slow or stun and work well as a roamer.

mirana requires kill potential in lane i.e. damage dealers.

bane is just .... ehhhhh


put them together and yea kinda works. but i want heroes that can do it by themsleves.

Spirit Breaker?

Or China Doom.

With a teammate you can lvl 1 somebody for really high gold boost, then just farm really hard.

Nothing but Treads on SB, Tranquils and Venom on Doom.

randoming isnt really that good for aour team. rather take a good counter. But nice games.

good counters are nice but when you get into higher skill tiers a good counter is only as good as the ability to utilise it.

so when looking at counters look at online times and usefulness.

for example :

anti mage vs medusa

great counter but hey what if i roam into his lane constantly and shut down his farm?

what if past 20 minutes i sentry his jungle up so he cant farm?

honestly i used to think countering heroes was huge when drafting but now id rather run an aggressive draft and destroy their ability to utilise their counters...
