it can be extremely disheartening to play support at times: there is almost no chance for personal skill showing off from you, that shiny high gpm doesn't belong to you, those glorious godlike/beyond godlike/RAMPAGE are never yours; in the worst case scenario, when the game is losing, some mentally incompetent players will flame or blame you for your 0/8 kill/death on score board (while totally ignoring your assist counts and your effort of doing all these background support works). Nobody wants to play support and there is no real reason ever to play support.



Well, except for one reason, you play support because you play to win, you play support when you WANT TO WIN the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Or maybe, just maybe, supporting is actually fun.

The central principle in supporting is that you put yourself in the shoes of the carry/core heroes in your team and ask yourself, for example: 'If I were mid, what help do I need from team mates so I can perform my role brilliantly?' - As a support you make these things happen to build a comfortable game for the core players in team, some support heroes can even go very aggressive to the point that they are the ones who alter the rhythm of the game.

As I mentioned above, experience and understanding of the game are the key abilities as a support player while the strong game sense and observation on everything happening in game make you a great one.



"if you decided to play a support hero in this game due to whatever reason , I wish you best of luck and hope everything I wrote here will be useful for you."
