Dumb question S01EP07: Sven support. Is it viable? (SEASON FINALE,!)

I have seen the support role in Sven for a long time now. I made a question on Tusk support (which is very viable, but not recognized by the game itself). Just why do Sven deserve this role, and Tusk, Dark Seer, and Undying do not?

Season finale has come! 6.82 will bring season two.

P.S yes i know i said the season isnt over yet. But when i said 'not over yet' is BEFORE the finale. Now, the season is over!

Accidentally post twice. Post your replies here and please delete the other thread.

It's viable, but not worth it imo.

Storm Hammer is pretty good considering it's the longest duration AoE Stun available at lvl1 and it scales nicely in Terms of Damage, but that's about it. Sven's other skills revolve around him getting in close and pummeling his opponents to death. With no Farm, he'll have no Damage and with no Exp, he won't survive for very long in a Teamfight at close Range.

If you want AoE that gives you good control early on, try Earthshaker, he does everything a Support Sven does, only much much better.

Some other alternatives with good AoE control are Venomancer, Lion, Crystal Maiden, Nyx Assassin, etc.

Sven is not really a support in the sense of "trilane hard support who spends the whole game with zero farm".
He's a support in the sense of "early roaming hero", as an opposition to farmer.
Sven is perfectly playable as a roamer and he doesn't need the safe lane farming role.
He can semi-carry perfectly well with low farm, like Mask of Madness/ Armlet of Mordiggian, and then BKB.
You don't need to farm as Sven, you can roam and then transition into a low-cost carry build.
But indeed ultimately Sven is about right-clicking and he can't be a walking stun forever - however in the first 15 minutes of the game the walking stun role suits him pretty well. The movement speed/armor from Warcry should not be underestimated for chasing and aggressive tower diving either.

You can play him as a support is needed but he is outclassed by wraith king, so there is little reason to pick him.

Wow seriously SOMEONE PLEASE DELETE THE OTHER POST!!!!!!

^ Not to mention that WK can suicide blink in and let the other team kill him so his ult can slow them while your team owns them.

Without that Ult WK and Sven are pretty much the same.

I have a friend who says he plays sven support, he goes to lane and lets me get all the last hits and such, meanwhile he kills all enemy heroes and carries the game hard. The funny bit is if you tell him to actually play carry sven he fails dismally and feeds the entire game.
