Some of the pro teams have picked him as support, but I have no idea how it works. Offlane is really good since you can use the boar to watch the supports movement, stop them from pulling, or stack the ancients. Once you hit 6 you can leave the lane and go get kills, then farm your ancient stack to catch up on gold.

Are you saying someone acted solo?
I have 3 of their autographs, I need to know who I should put with Solo Autograph.
It was a joke because they got FUCKING destroyed by fnatic in game 1 of the pit.

I think the arcana looks sort of ass but the new regular version is pretty cool, though I prefer the old requiem animation

dear god...
I'm not sure what's more impressive, the fact that they haven't lost already or the fact that PA still could get all that farm at that level.

Casters seem pretty decent for late night doto.
Aghs PA: Coup de Grace heals opponent for crit healing instead of crit damage.

Aghs PA: your crits now have a chance to crit, doing 2.5/3.5/4.5 x 2.5/3.5/4.5 x normal damage.

Right off the bat I buy wards, courier, some regen and a clarity, and already Ursa bitches at me for not buying Sentries too. I'm not a goddamn bank.
I'm buying sentries as I can afford them, then Ursa says "Bane not buy sentries" and buys FOURTEEN SENTRIES WITH ALL HIS FUCKIING MONEY.
Now after 50 minutes all he has is BKB and a Blink Dagger. But this is somehow Bane's fault for not buying sentries, as Ursa walks up to high ground into the most obvious Remote Mines trap ever and dies.

Against Bounty Hunter, I would rather skip observer wards for sentries.
Nobody can blame your supporting the team anyway. Only the gem was really dumb since your team lost the gem after less than a minute.
16 heroes left in the all-hero challenge. Winning with Bane, Dark Seer, Storm Spirit and Queen of Pain will be problematic.

We only had one gem and that was LD's fault for stupidly diving into 3 people by himself when we told him to back.
Ursa's early deaths could have been avoided until I could afford sentries, as Obs are too crucial to skip in any game.

Because he is an asshole.
The question is: will it be worse than last year's Worlds.

I am checking the builds of the "best" Bane players on Dotabuff, and there is quite a variety of builds, which do not look that successful. Any tip?
For instance, if I go for Necronomicon, I might use the two little units to attack a hero during friend's grip?
Unrelated, but slahser pushes AM to the limits these days: http://youtu.be/J85lFU1XiHo slahser'w way to play AM incoming?

^Bane is just one of those heroes that doesn't really need many items tbh... Necro would be good for counterwarding, pushing, damage during your ult and the mana drain in addition to the mana drain part of Bane's ult. Not to mention the stats on the necro are just good.
I would just build standard support items in 99% of cases. Blink is good for initiating and setting up ganks.

Just get Arcanes Blink on Bane. Aghs or BKB for hue.
Gank every time ulti is up free kills
Employed by Riot for entire LCS Season, etc.

Thought you did really good. Enjoyed these, thanks.
Dont support in ranked games
Go mid or prepare to lose every game due to your shit team feeding
Its the only way to win in this game unless you 5 stack with people who arent retarded
BM is a 100% shit hero
I had him for my hero challenge and it took me 5 tries to win a game because hes so useless.
His skills are basically
Q - Shit AoE damage spells that misses 1/2 the time
W - Summon Pigeon
D - Summon Orb Of Venom that can walk around
E - Worthless Aura
R - Svens stun but its an ulti
Icefraud pls remake this hero cause at the moment hes boring as shit and his skill set makes no sense
fite me IRL noob
k everything you said is wrong

Alright, it was not that hard to win with Bane once I understood he was a ganker.
Thanks for the advice.

So what's the proper way to play Terrorblade now? I watched some of EE's stream but I can't really make sense of what he's trying to do. It's just a combination of farming and feeding and then barking orders at his teammates.

how is winning in ranked with a support different from winning with a support in pubs?
I can imagine if you try to do stuff like stack jungle creeps and ward areas that your teammates aren't going to pay attention to at a low mmr but picking more obvious and impactful supports like lion can net you quite a few wins.
then once you get better teams you can transition into the more tryharding kind of support.

I'm at 4K solo MMR (or at least I was, I'm not playing so much these days) and I have played a lot of support ranked games.
You can climb MMR as a support. I have found, hilariously enough, that some people do not know how to play support. I have a friend who only plays mid or carry, and he plays his support like a mid or carry hybrid and then says shit like, "it's impossible to win ranked games as support"
No, you are just a terrible support lol
The only difference between ranked and unranked is that people spam pick good heroes every game, so you need to make sure the support pick is good too. I don't consider lion a strong support because he tends to feed relentlessly if the enemy gains any momentum, and he very desperately needs levels. The best lane supports at the moment are probably silencer and skywrath because they can easily zone a solo offlane or harass a contested lane. Ogre and Omni are also strong but aren't so useful in lane, but they're good at playing from behind because they're hard kills.

I find support really hard. Too many things to think about, very easy to fuck it up early game and end up in "how do I at least cast my spells before I die" mode.

Meteorain not understanding the greatness of the Euls.
Get a Euls.
Ahh yes, the "Gotta go fast" build.
Eul's is excellent on Spirit Breaker, gives him move speed, mana regeneration, and the ability to delay if he wants to use charge as an escape. I'd say go Treads, Eul's, Agh's. I've actually tended to go Crimson Guard before Eul's just because it was a new item and you can get it pretty quickly if you take advantage of SB's strong early game.
