What heroes do you main?

This is a common misconception. New players "do well" as carries. In reality, new players suck at countering carries and don't realize how to measure how good a support player is (it has nothing to do with K-D ratio).

You should practice support.

Ohdang, I see what you mean. I should probably stop playing them anyway, all of the newbie guides for DotA 2 said never to play as a carry as a noob, as it will be really hard to understand if you're new to the game.

Pretty much. Carrying is for people who are really good at the game. Support is easy-ish. You just make sure carries get kills.

Essentially, supports carry the carries. Early-mid game, the supports do all the work to make sure carries don't die. Mid-late game, carries do all the work. It is very team-oriented. Noobs, however, think that supports are useless and that all you need is brawn -- 5 man carry team. They don't understand the concept that the entire reasons carries get tanky is because of supports (who buy wards to prevent ganks/deaths, don't farm or take last hits which gives the carries a ton of gold, buys support items like Mek and Pipe to keep the carries alive which also saves the carries money to not have to buy these things so that they can instead buy tank items). Your K-D ratio is irrelevant as a support. Or I should say, your kills are irrelevant. Your deaths should be low (not because it matters for you as a support, but because dying gives the other carries gold), and your assists should [but don't have to be] high because that shows you helped carries get kills. But your kills themselves should be low unless you are solo/there was no option for a carry to take the last hit for the kill.

I play most heroes.
I usually end up playing carry like AM or PL.
My favorite hero was and will always be Troll Warlord <3 (My TFTotA <3)
I do like to play junglers though like Engima and Lycan occasionally.

I haven't played Troll Warlord yet. He looks interesting, though.
Jungling is fun. Lycan isn't. Not since the accident nerf.

EDIT: What is your Steam profile link?
