I recently got back into Dota. Valve fucked so many of my supports. Especially io. He feels like trash to play now. Why did they fuck him so FUCKING hard into the ground? You can't even drain your hp/mp anymore with E and you can no longer strategically toggle it. Fuck valve so much. Also why the fuck did they change how spirits work? Did they realize having precision of 3 buttons for it was too fucking much for all the twitch baited low IQ retards flooding the game so they just threw it all in one and made it objectively worse in the name of simplicity?

No problem, hopefully you dont have to buy the god pack a second time!
Its actually a symptom of forced late game. While supports and tanks generally have a pretty high initial damage numbers on their abilities early on, they suck ass peelers and tanks and often they get killed the most by junglers. But because almost all Conquest games go to late game these days, you still need someone to stand in Tower/Phoenix fire to push forward. At the same time Warriors are better than Supports in the early to mid-game and can play super aggressive with junglers so they're slowly replacing supports as Dive comps become more popular, Warriors can tank those towers and phoenixes too.

>want to enjoy supporting in a multiplayer game
>devs gotta make me do a bunch of irrevelant combo shit and fight a quarter as effectively as the other people designed to actually fight
>can't just heal and actually take burdens off of them to improve their capabilities
fuck off

Release thresh was pick or ban because his E passive was attached to his Q so you could level it first for both poke AND low-cooldown engage, his W was a locket on a much lower cooldown that could be thrown, and his ult walls damaged everywhere, letting you flay them into massive burst. Literally the only thing he didn't have was healing, which was mitigated by his W and buying locket anyway. He was power creeped, that's why he outshined.

Only if thresh himself had shit positioning, because his flag fucks her engages unless she stuns him specifically with her ult. Meanwhile thresh could engage, disengage, help ganks, and shield everyone.

That´s what i was saying man, it´s a good design, way too fucking good

Remove supports all together
