What heroes do you main?

[GAMEchief]

I play mostly support, though I was a 5-star performance Skeleton King for a while. Carrying isn't really my favorite thing to do. Too much pressure.

And as far as supports go, I can play probably most of them. Not Chen. The rest, maybe.

Dark Seer definitely one of my favorites. Not just in terms of fun to play, but actually being good at it.

Wisp is best pony.
Keeper is pretty fun too.

You have balls. Wisp is so hard mode.

Keeper is pretty fun too.

Keeper is super fun, but for some reason I can't play him well. I know how pros play him. I know all the things to do. But for some damn reason it never works. Feeder Keeper, every time.

Fuckin Crystal Maiden, man.

Nah, but I really don't main anyone yet. I started playing pretty recently, so I've just been trying to get a feel for them all, doing random character selection. I do surprisingly well with carries, for some reason. I also find I'm way better at DotA than LoL

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.

This.
So much this

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?

Tinker!
Because I'm too stingy for TP scrolls, escaping is fun,
and he has too many insults

Oh god. I hate midding against a good Tinker. Spamming his stupid laser making LHing impossible ;-;

[GAMEchief]

Nobody likes playing against a good Tinker. His push is insane.

Enigma.

Sick of unreliable fucks for teammates, With enigma + co-op aura buffs, These little slave bastards can deal more damage, Have lifeleech, And more, Then I just do a black hole which gets the enemy surrounded, Followed by chainstun + rape in the face.

I always push mid no matter what the situation, Usually I get into their base (assuming im not overganked) before my teammates even take one tower. And can take out rosh before level 15 without too many items.

[GAMEchief]

>before my teammates even take one tower

So do you lane him mid?

I always jungle Enigma.

[Aleena]

>before my teammates even take one tower

I always jungle Enigma.

Yep. HP regen ring or mana regen gear for my starter so that I can just stay there without having to return due to mana / life issues, Ill get the other equip with a corrier (Hopefully bought by a teammate) To stay there up until I can get something like Radiance or some other heavy hitting equip, It also helps a shitton to get lifeleech aura since your minions can just endlessly push and tank (Variables being ganks / towers)

But really if it comes down to it, I can have the minions push while I return to pickup items at the base...Lots of flexibility with this character, I will have to try a jungle run from the start next time now that you mentioned it, It sounds nice in theory since you can just make minions from the enemies and insta-get gold, But I dont like not pushing...Where as at the same time, My team would be getting more gold since one less would be on a lane....

Hm, Experiment time~! <3

[Snow-kun]

I play Carry with Invoker, Support with Crystal Maiden or Enigma and Gank with Furion (Prophet). But my main role is support.

[GAMEchief]

Maining support is good. I've determined that you can tell how good someone is by what they main.

No skill: carry
Mid skill: support
Top skill: either

[Snow-kun]

Playing Roaming Gank also takes some skill if your team plans to keep you neutral farming half of the game.
