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....
ok but venge is squishy as ****. level one her hp is 18 + 2.6 per level. and he stun is pretty short at level 1. so is ogres but she is too squishy.
ogre has a 23 starting with 3.2 per level which is like ... amazing.
but i mean he has 7 FREAKING ARMOUR ....LIKE WTF IS THAT ****
wraith king hmmmm i like this i shall try it. but his is only 22 with 2.9 per level. but his stun is 2 seconds which i like. ok i shall try wraith king.
sven just i dunno. ive tried it but ehhhhhh i dunnnooooo.
ES is my fav and i always roam with him.
Tusk is fun as ****. shall try.
Earth spririiitttt..... yeaaaaaa ok.
BUT
i mean
tree has 25 starting .... and 3.3 PER LEVEL like ... COME DA FUQ AT ME BRUH!
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.
randoming isnt really that good for aour team. rather take a good counter. But nice games.
I sadly cant roam, I just cant keep enuf pressure up and many times i am noticed :(

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...
