General DiscussionHow to farm as a support?

assist in kills get last hits when your laners aren't there, don't miss pull last hits if you don't give them to the safe laner, don't buy shit items
and bounty runes, thats about it

gank foes

ditch hoes

It's the easies of the 5 roles. Mostly because pubbers are shit and don't do their job

Also if you can, courier snipes are a great way to deny the other team access to the courier and get a good influx of gold. Also, I find going into the enemy jungle( if possible) and pulling their creeps while they are not in lane gets you farm and a much easier position to gank from.

Support want farm wtf? Gg end fast no def ty

>Stack and pull.
>Get Back!
>Push Now!

bounty runes :). if you play properly, you can get 2 every 2 mins

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

you get gold from killing heros ideally

you grab bounty runes in between rotations ( at xx:50 you walk to the enemy rune spot to grab that first for double the value)

when your carry farms some jungle camps or your mid leaves the lane you go there and farm the wave (even if its just 1 creep, the XP is more imortant)

< need XX XP for level 6
< need XX gold for blink dagger
very good communication possibilities

if you play heros like SB or SK with an escape and decent waveclear you can also do some splitpushing when you need lvls or a specific item

you just need to actively watch the map and think where to do what, eventually youll get a good feeling for it

when i play spirit breaker im often the highest lvl hero on my team because i think im very efficient at roaming

Thanks guys :)

from pulling and assist that enough

and bounty aswell

Be off the map as much as possible to threaten all lanes
zone either the enemy offlaner or the enemy position 5 between 0.30 and 1.45
steal enemy bounty rune
zone somebody or set up a gank
buy boots
pick own bounty on your way back to base
farm neutrals on you way back to base if you have mana and hp left
call your pos 5 to smoke, kill somebody with him, steal bounty
repeat

I spam bara right now, buying midas whenever i can afford it before 16min (urn and brown boots before)

Oh and if you are not Level 6 by 10min ask Somebody to let you take his lane for a minute, keeping up in levels is important. Ive seen level 4 earthshakers 20min into games

Most supports have some kind of spammable skill, that you should use to last hit creeps.

For example, lich has frost nova. Use it to last hit creeps in lane. If the carry cries about taking his farm, mute him. If he reports you, you report him back.

You should also get hand of midas.

You should steal the starting bounty rune from your mid.

Hope this helps. don't let your teammates hold you back.
