Janna Morgana and Soraka
Martyr and Empath are fun too:)

Martry is for nerds holy shit. And Empath is like Wisp. But Engineer is cool.

Rubick, Jakiro and Lich. Support play is just enjoyable for me in general :D

what kind of a person likes to play lich

What kind of person likes to play Treant? Wisp? AM? PL? TA? People like that just exist dude.

i can see an appeal in any of those heroes
but lich ... really?

lina,wind
(i play them as semi carry just own with nukes/stun early and scales well to mid-late. but i do buy wards and courier if needed no mek and shit )

CM
GOD OF SUPPORTS NOTHING CAN BE HER. ofc needs a better attack animation and Ms

rubick
good disable and free spells

silencer

so fun to make people cry by spamming Q

Venge/Veno

http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/1020 HOW IS THIS EVEN FUN?? I personally don't enjoy playing Lich at all either buy you can't really blame people for enjoying it. The hero is at least a support and supporters are always welcome.

Venge, wisp and veno are the most enjoyable support heroes to play

Wisp, Rubick and Treant good support

Venge, Ogre (Muuuulticast! :3 ), Kotl (His ulti, i love it. And, he looks like Gandalf. Who can be bored playing Gandalf?)

^Ever since the "Blending in with the Russians" video, I get tired of people spamming "kotol giff me mana".

Lich is fun when you succeed in completely destroying your opponent's laning.
...in fact, I don't pick him so much because I enjoy it, I pick him for 1) not having to lane against him. 2) My retarded teammates went 0 supports. 3) I have lag.

My favourite supports are Warlock (so underrated...and not a HARD support), CM and Rubick.

Favorite supports which I can't play because I lack Michael skillz but I really like to have in my team: Visage and Chen :D

While silencer can play support, he's better as a semi carry imo, I don't consider him a support role.

I agree that lich is boring to play but he's really effective, I played him non stop when I first started. You basically live for out of lane team fights with your ult. other than that he's an armor buff bot/creep eating boring support. Treant is also an awesome support but again really dull to play as. You just span armor and place a few good ults.

I forgot to put kotl on my favorites to play with. Love getting full mana, love when he drains my enemies like skele king and anti mage so he can't blink.

Visage Wisp Vengeful Spirit

[quote] 1) not having to lane against him. [quote]
nothing to be worried about. its like being scared to lane vs centaur, not gonna happend

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrubick!

Why not lich, I've had a lot of fun games with him. He's the first hero that I started to learn in dota, and although I don't pick him quite as much as I used to, he synergizes well with some of the heroes my friends love to play

Naga, Abaddon (YEAH SO I LIKE THESE TWO), Jakiro are probably my favourite three, definitely naga as my number one favourite since I always like to play it + key ults wins too many situations

No one's disagreeing lich is a great support, he's just kinda dull to play, having only one spammable ability and a fire and forget nuke. Makes him a good choice for beginners though as there's not as much to manage.

Shadow Demon is probably my favourite support. He can nuke, amplify damage, purge and last but not least, disrupt (and don't forget those pesky illusions, they can deal quite the damage if used on a farmed carry). Aside from him, probably Ancient Apparition (Frostbite ftw!) and Dazzle. Shallow Grave is just too great, and his ulti can make all the difference as well.

Crystal Maiden, Rubick, Treant, and on the off chance I'm not the 5 role, Undying.

@qsudfhqozkdsq Lich's not scary, but he's annoying as hell.

Naga, Visage, Rubick and Spirit Breaker.

Treant Protector. No matter how stupid the game begins, big feeding from my team, braindead lanes, I end up winning the game. I don't know why. It's crazy. I cannot explain why it happens.

But besides from that: Nyx Assassin who is underrated in pub games as support. And Jakiro (Icepath!). And Visage (Kill-secure-machine + nice birds). And AA (underrated). And Enchantress (Semi-support-carry-thing). And... Supports are so great in this game, I almost never support in other Mobas, but Dota is different and I love it for that.

Omni, Dazzle and Treant (ass savers FTW!)

I play DS and undying a lot too, but not as hard supports, they can be quite good on pubs.

Abaddon, Dazzle and CM.

I like Lich, Veno, Venge, Undying, Witch Doctor and Ogre.

I suck at them all.

Rubick, Shadow BADASS Demon, Sandking, Venge, AA.

I pick them if I have to pick a support, although I rarely play that role.

Enchantress,Lion,Nyx and Bane.
Enchantress:Get tornado creep/harpy stormcaller.Proceed to make enemy mid's life hell.
Lion:Disable.Just disables.
Nyx:Nuke,stun and mana burn in addition to a psuedo-blademail.Damn.
Bane:Gripping a BKB'ed carry lategame is so much fun.

witchdoc , venge , cm - why ? because they own

jakiro tidehunter treant silencer darkseer = they all have very good teamfight

Visage:

Before he came meta, I fought tooth and nail to explain why this guy would become king of trilanes and arguably the most sought after support. If they remove the stun immunity on the birds I think it would kill the character but other than that visage is an absolute monster.

Rubick:

Can completely turn a game around as a support with one steal. Very high skill cap required to play effectively, it's a pleasure to watch god-tier rubicks play.

Jakiro:

Imo the best team fight support in the game, Puppey jakiro is just ridiculous.

predicting that visage is good in tri lanes lmao
i think you're a little late for that
maybe 5 years

treant, crystal maiden, silencer, vengeful spirit

Leshrac, even if he sucks nowadays :D
