Lich, Warlock, Lion, Shadow Shaman are quite simple supports.
Good point, CM is super squishy and dies a lot. Her skillset and tools are very straight forward though, and you help your team just by skilling up her aura.

but her ulti deals many damages it'll be helpful for clashing and her skill 2 to lock the enemies

Are there any ways to avoid players who don't want to finish the game? It's really infuriating.

Game devs are now working on pairing leavers with other leavers and repeated offenders (reports) with their own type etc.
I guess waiting is the best option here :P

Hey guys o/
so..yeah im new to this whole DOTA 2 thing..i just started playing it
i don't think i can complain much because i play LoL and community wise i'm kind of used to the whole whining and flaming but i find this last match i had really interesting..as soon this guy from my team - BOT lane died (causes: Obviously he was to greedy and ran for the kill but instead he got shot by turret and etc's) he did rq the game we're @ around 5 / 8 minutes along with his pre friend, flamed the hell out of everyone including me since i was @ bot lane as-well. i'm having the hell time trying to pick up to this game people seem to put a lot of pressure on the younger people like me,i really do want to play this moba but i'm just so clueless about so many things and the people i get Q with seem to be just major assholes anyways does anyone have a few tips on which hero's to play or..something? i did look up for a few videos but i think different opinions are nice too!,sorry if i came out of nowhere asking for such thing
Sorry, but this is what playing on EU West (or any EU) means. DOTA 2 is the one game that ever makes me racist and it's because of cyka bljat fuc*%( rustard ($§)%"(!/(§!!!!
My tip is to mute them and if possible report. There isn't really much helping I'm afraid :o Or you just play with friends :)

Get better. No seriously, you get grouped at your own skill level.
"Get good" is wtf? Remco? So they're supposed to get to 5k MMR in <1 year so they can finally get out of "their own skill level" hell? I'm playing on 5k+ and there's still flamers everywhere, it's just a russian thing.

Personally, I'd start off on heroes like crystal maiden or lion, and support the more experienced players until you can get a good feel for the game. You can also queue up with coaches in this game which is extremely helpful, as they are able to draw on your screen, ping your UI and talk directly to you while you play, great learning tool for new players, feel free to add me if you'd like to try that.
As for the community, yeah, it can be volatile. Your best bet is to just ignore the ragers, and take the productive criticism/advice that nicer players give (they do exist!).
Owh this is great,thanks for the help and tips but btw is there any way for me to join matches with coaches? i really have no idea how..lols

Essentially Miyu, to join a match with a coach all you have to do is invite whomever you want coaching you, into your party and queue up with them set as a coach (little check box above the party group icons).

I play waaaaay too much dota2 and enjoy coaching and spectating when i can, so as I said earlier, feel free to add me if you ever want and I'll gladly observe some rounds. My steam name = Directive?

Your MMR rating.
Yes, her ulti deals massive damage, but you are slow and have no healthpool so you die without much trouble. And since a new player will be out of position all the time you will probably feed a lot.

He meant leavers, not flamers. Those will stop being in your bracket if you get >2000MMR or so.

Play easy heroes such as Sven, Juggernaut, Dragon Knight, Death Prophet. Once you get the hang of DotA, you can play semi-hard heroes such as Phantom Assasin, Terrorblade, and many others. Just, please, dont play Invoker. Just dont

is that MMR from the ranked match? if it's a ranked match i haven't played enough to get the rating because i usually play pub (too lazy to change it to ranking)
because of that Hp problem i hate CM , i'll use bracer army when i use it someday lol

I meant those who are sitting in front of your fountain waiting for us to respawn because they want to get more kills even though the ancient is so exposed. Never experienced this in LAN Dota 1 with my friends. Sorry for the confusion.

I'd say Terrorblade is too much micro for a new player.

I think people will still max his other skills first and I'm not sure if that damage boast will make his stomp any more useful then it previously was. Though, nothing to complain.

It'll be interesting how Bat Riders jungling will look like now.

I'm all happy for Orge Magi, Skywrath Mage, and Undying buffs.

i think it almost like no change , they just increase a little damage and it doesn't have too much effects (more from core until late game) i'd like if they increase the stun duration

Pinoy players tend to focus alot on kills, same as Russians. But when it comes to games, Filipino's tend to master proficiency and damage rather than the main objective.

Skilled Pinoy Players that know's what they're doing (like me, and probably Nav) plays in EU servers. Let me tell you this as a 3k mmr player, russians are a pain in the ass to carry
Pizzicato
average skill of pinoys are very low but 2 pinoys are leading at SEA solo MMR rankings with 6.5k mmr
haven't played with russians yet so i cant tell

True. Some pinoy players only know to scream at teammates heck they don't even know basic wards spots
