Is there such a thing as buying too many tp's? Because I fear I may be doing that. I never have more than one but maybe I use too many.

I often have 3 TPs, sometimes even 4. They're a good panic buy right before dying, gotta spend that unreliable gold.
I should use them less for mid T2 or any T3 teleporting though, I probably waste a lot on this just because I'm too lazy to walk there

welp this caught me completely offguard
If Lion is boring what can be said about KotL, SS, AA, Venge, among other supports...

Lion with blink is fun as hell.. not sure what that's about.
He's such a fun support to spank people with as they're dying.. oh here turn into a frog and while I'm at it I'll take your mana too.

He's pretty versatile imo. all his spells are good and have significant impact in teamfights, he is one of the best blink supports, he is good in lane and good at ganking.
who do you think is a fun support?
i dunno like
WW
ogre
kotl (idk people think he's boring?)
disruptor
does dark seer count? sometimes.
maybe he isn't the MOST boring support, but lion is zzzzzzzzzzzzz and you would all be agreeing w/ me if you weren't all so busy fotm picking him
[edit] he's also boring to watch
Gentle Rodriguez

KotL is boring because he's passive and can't really gank, I like supports that have killing potential on their own. I also don't like Lion though, don't know why.
Those are all fun, i'd just put lion right in there as well.
I think every hero gets "boring" once he's been in the meta for a while. (except invoker

Lions awesome wtf you people smoking
you can just walk around and kill anyone
oh hey didn't see you there hex auto attack auto attack auto attack stun auto attack auto attack finger dead virtually any hero in the game
hes fun to gank with but also in lane because mana drain is hilarious
he's lich but taking your enemies mana instead you can spam earth spike foreverrrrr

yea the Lion hate is baffling me. Not many supports can disable 2 different heroes in a split second, then nuke for like 1000dmg on a 20-second aghs cooldown. And let's not forget one of his disables is an instant cast making him uniquely valuable for blink initiating on single targets.
ya'll trippin.

I'd like Jakiro if his spells didn't all take 3 years to activate.

Rubick is king of fun heroes. Undisputed fact.
and a massive aoe nuke that does like a billion damage isn't killing potential???
god tell me about it
when you go for a gank in the laning phase and by the time your ice power has finished casting the game has ended, like,
Gentle Rodriguez

As in if I'm on my own and find an enemy I can kill him. Lion, Lina, CM, WD, etc. can do that. KotL casts mana leak and runs for his life.
needs more skillshots
i mean i said he was good
just boring to play and watch
and in 6.84 after he receives a massive nerf he wont even be good

Jakiro is hardly a support, or a #4 greedy support then. Better to give him #3 priority
Don't bother with ice path early. lv 4 dual breath and liquid fire is insane in term of damage and spammability
Then you get euls and blink and it's showtime, aghs is fun situationally, hex godlike obviously. Bkb can be good late because of his cast times obviously. Veil is a good cheap replacement of hex if you don't have the gold, at least you can kill people more easily

that's because this isn't league of plebians
if any heroes need nerfs :
axe lycan naga sniper troll SF storm batrider
The rest is fine. And even these would need small nerfs to make them ok (mana costs, cooldowns, durations)

yeah but none of you think any heroes need nerfs
it's all about the 'meta'
is that Britney spears?

it's all about the 'meta'
they usually dont
people just pick shit because its hot not necessarily because its so much better than everything else
a hero pops up because it does a job well, they train with it and against it constantly, everyone else does the same bam in the meta, thats it
other heroes could be picked but at a certain point its easier to just stay with the staples because its a known quantity at that point
there are exceptions of course and they do get nerfs

I realise this is a joke post but:
Sniper
Troll
Axe
Jugg
Venge
Mask of Madness
Need nerfs badly

Venge and jug are fine
For sniper, just balance headshot's values. MS/AS slow from 100 to 50-65-80-95
Same for troll, change berserker's rage values, and maybe a longer CD on ult
For axe berserker's call don't pierce magic immunity and he's fine

no. just wait until the meta moves on and you'll realise that all of these things are just good in the current meta not actually op.

Lion nerfs will be: impale is now ground targeted, hex cast point increased (unlikely), lower base int.
does SS's hex have instant cast time too
buff rePugnant (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡
Pugna is the polar opposite of fun. You're basically forcing people to just farm and avoid confrontation.
Yeah, but the duration is quite shorter.
yeah

zai on fire
I think if headshot also lost its truestrike, that'd be just about fine.
For troll? Put a cooldown on his bash.
Axe, as annoying as he is, doesn't need any changes I don't think. My recollection is that his win-rate just isn't great.
axe win-rate is like 50% more or less
[edit] remember when i said shadow fiend was going to become boring from being picked so much and everyone was like, 'no way!'
well, i hate to say i told you so
icu with this racism
