It usually takes me less than 1 minute to notice if my Hard Support is a role queue farmer or not.

Very often, if my Hard Support picks Lion, Lina, Rubick for Hard Support, he is 100% farming role queues.

From this day and until the day I’m alive, I will never play position 1 again.

Pos 5 is my calling.

I will be there for you.

I will pressure the enemy pos 4 @ 1:30 so that I’m able to stack

I will smoke us in base, put up nice wards before enemies arrive

I will be giving you Tangoes without you needing to ping me

I will be trading my life in lane so that you can get kills and I can bring you items

I will pressure the lane at @ 6:00 so that we can take enemy wisdom rune

I will bring you lotuses

If the lane doesn’t go well, I will stack for you and encourage you to not lose your hope

I will buy Glimmers and Forcestaves

I will be playing around my win condition

I will call out enemy vision and ganks

I will be there for you

If you throw games, I will accept that sometimes I throw as well

I won’t take my frustrations into the next game and punish you for something my previous teammate did

Together we will fight and win

    I’m a pos1 as well and I always know without playing support almost at all what he can do more in a lane. I know how to play support just because of what I saw playing against or with good or bad supports. I also don’t wanna play party with friends, because they just don’t give enough effort and the enemy team is playing strats and try to focus me in fights, more than in solo games. So I will just play support in most games, it’s also super easy for me, I usually win the game in the first 15 minutes and then I just follow my team and press my buttons that’s all.

    Oh trust me you will play pos 1 again after seeing the clown shits that play safelane, that dont have a clue when to push when to farm when to engage what to build how to position. You can make the perfect game only to have clowns that throw your perfect game at minute 43.

    Looking at my battle report as a pos 1 main I have higher win percentage on supports as a carry player that’s 15 wins out of 23 games. Knowing what your carry needs really is a big gamechanger.

    I’m in the same boat. I’m not god gifts to Dota by any means but I have clocked over 10k hours and I have no doubt in my mind that I am more than capable of reaching Immortal even though I have been hard stuck in high ancient/low divine for the most part. I’m so close to transitioning to full-time pos5 because 9/10 pos5 players have no clue what to do at any point of the game.

    Whenever I get a solid pos5 player, we usually stomp the lane. So many pos5s value their life like they are the carry, they play like castrated dogs who are scared of trading and dying.

    IT IS OKAY TO WALK UP AND TRADE TILL YOU DIE IF IT MEANS YOUR CARRY GETS THE RETURN KILL

    Instead of trying to be the pos 5 you want to get in your games why not be the TEAMMATE your team needs?

    I mostly play 3 but I’ve found myself queueing 5 more and more recently because I’m just so tired of dealing with 4 players, I swear they’re on average the worst at laning out of every role and it’s not even close

    Getting left to fend for myself for the first 2 minutes of the game because he wants to gank, doesn’t contest enemy pulls while having atrocious pull timing himself essentially gifting the enemy team a free large camp, completely disregarding my ability to farm if it means they can inconvenience the enemy team even the slightest, and so on and so on

    And don’t even get me started on the dumb fucking heroes they pick, like if I have to lane with another pudge or timbersaw (yes, really) or nyx I feel like I’m going to scream

    LOW IMMORTAL BTW :))))))

    Then you will fail to achieve half of those things listed and be reported because pos1 who could not play pos5 and can’t play pos1 feels like he needs to blame someone.
