You can't only have one support though. If your team has one support you can't expect him to be relocating people around for ganks, buying support items and buying wards/dust.

Nor did you ask, right? If you want to get better, the best way to do it is to talk to the more experienced players and build a plan as you go rather than blame them for not telling you to do something differently.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I don't know you, nor you me, but I'd be frustrated too if someone who'd been warding one game stopped doing it another.

Err, I'm not blaming anyone, myshra was blaming me, I went with what I thought, which was wrong, I just said no one told me any different. I was wisp, and the only support, I don't see when I'm a noob, how I can do it all. I can't gank, ward and support the whole team.

When people tell me my job is to ward, that's all I do, the entire game.
 
I think it's best things are left there. Enough has been said on the topic. Aedus can keep playing with us and Myshra can find some other people to whine at.
 
Toejam there was a bug in the game a while ago that allowed this but it was fixed, it only lasted a few days. You can still grief though (drop someone elses items in a circle of trees or something with extremely limited visibility) so watch out for that. If any team runs a solo support then that support will only be warding, there isn't enough gold on the map for both lest you snowball by killing or early tower gold.

You wanted to bring this to the forums so I can assume as much you must feel happy I replied, I will leave it at that. You can send me a friend invite if you really want as you made such a big deal of it, I'm sorry my deleting of people I will unlikely play with again has been converted into a "autistic bitch fit" in your eyes but it was simply housekeeping.
 
I can be pretty frustrating playing support. You scrape by on the bear minimum of items, have to be extra careful mid game when warding so you don't get ganked. Then late game you feel even more useless when the carrys are fully geared up.

Well, you can.

2 Wards is 150g every 6 minutes, not hard.

Support the lane your on, harassing, pulling and stacking, building appropriate items, responding to pushes and attempted ganks on other lanes.

If you see a decent gank opportunity then take it.

Ta da.
 
I've found that if you are going to play with people that are new to the game don't expect them to ward every 6 minutes, pull and stack, harass properly and so on. These things all take time to learn.

What difference does that make? Sure you're not going to be able to do it all perfectly all the time but I don't see how saying your new is an excuse for not buying wards at all as a support hero.

Not everyone can be as good as you, people make mistakes its what humans do. We all don't have the experience of going to TI3, how was that anyway? Have you spent your winnings yet?
 
The first rule about being a professional gamer, don't talk about being a professional gamer.

Another valuable lesson learned there lads, I've written it down in my diary.. everyone else do the same so we never forget.
 

Random fight from a captains mode game tonight, I spotted we were about to be team engaged so I moved down to try and get there.

I should have moved sooner and my orb in was at the wrong angle, could have avoided being on low HP by the end of it but I'm pretty good at timing my phase shifts.

Fun none the less :)

If anyone needs a 5th for some team games I am interested. I would state my skill level is high, got around 200 hours under my belt but played a lot of HoN in the past. Am happy playing most roles (solo mid/ganker/solo hard/support). Not interested in any of this drama though :)

The reason I ask on here is because my friends are all ****ing awful and I want to remain friends with them ¬_¬
