Aww, apparently you cannot use the force staff anymore to push people into the kinetic field :(

Shame that has been removed considering how many escapes there are late game. Force staff/blink dagger + blink abilities when the kinetic field is still powering up. Plus pretty sure magic immunity allows heroes to walk past it.

Yeah I played him for the first time the other day and had a great time. He's got some really useful skills and looks awesome. Will definitely be a hero I use again.

But he's no Dazzle.

Dazzle's the next big thing! I guarantee he'll be carrying games by The International 7, with his big Shadow Wave plays.

Yeah, I think magic immune heroes can walk through. I have the urge to get back in dota now. I played it to death during beta but went back to playing HoN. I think that could be tomorrow evening sorted
 
We had a game last night when they were so bad I didn't even need to use Shallow Grave once...


...ok I could have used it to save Anuraj at one point but it's just funny watching him die.
 
If his ult also deactivated items he would become a solid pick but BKB makes him kind of useless in team-fights. His also lacking in damage for a trilane support
 
Disruptors in the same field as Lich at the moment, he's great for the early game. Can harrass and participate in ganks whilst providing decent support--but if the game goes into the 30-40 minute mark then the people you need your spells to be useful on are going to have BKB anyway. So he really doesn't scale well.

I still really enjoy playing Disruptor, but unfortunately it's a bit of a catch 22... play somebody you enjoy and risk becoming irrelevent near the end of the game. Would rather pick somebody who synergises better with the team and doesn't risk falling off. Especially when 1 mistake can cost you the game... you need everybody to be pulling their weight at that point.

Bane. Always Bane, every day.

Crystal Maiden's pretty decent. Chen is always good. Mek and Hand of God on him can turn around a fight in a second. Warlock has one of the best counter-initiates in the game. Shadow Demon. Naga. List could go on!

EDIT: Hot diggity, I forgot about Jakiro! His Ice Path can wreck teams!

I think Naga and Bane are the best two supports atm tbh. All of Naga's spells are so useful even late late game.

Depends on the team make up really, for all round support yeah... they're pretty good. Bane's ulti going through BKB/magic immunity is undeniably awesome. And Naga's song can either protect your team, or help you initiate... though I also find it going wrong when people initiate, without the right set up. (I'm talking about a Dark Seer vaccuum into a Black Hole from Enigma, or something. Big TI2 plays!)

I think some other heroes who scale well are Visage and Dark Seer. Obviously Dark Seer... he's one of the strongest, tankiest supports you can get. You offlane him and you'll find yourself with Mekansm and Mana Boots before too long. Visage's high damage and slow just makes him an excellent hero to have in team fights, and his stun from the Familliars adds just that little something extra, in big fights!
 
Aint really been on much due to work, and re decorating my room!

Had a great game the other day with Purdy and Murray as a Jariko hero!

I have started to get better at this game, however, i find limiting your self against bots aint good, and cant really stand pub games due to people leaving!

I prefer to be support imo, so will need to practise placing wards and pull creep waves to the jungle when the lane is pushed! All in all, I know what im doing, i just need to put it into practise!

I'm loving playing Elder Titan as support atm too. He's pretty much item independent and as with Naga, all of this abilities are solid throughout the game.
 
May aswell jump in and say that with the right items clockwork and spirit breaker are my favorite by ar at the moment.
 
I have only just started playing this. Did the tutorials and watched/read a **** load of stuff before I jumped into my first pub game (which we won somehow lol).

I have stuck to viper atm, he is pretty easy to use and its helping me get to grips with everything.

Great game as well
