I love koti he is the perfect support able to blast whole groups of greeps into tiny bits and suprisly with a team mate I can get kills.I play at low level only played about a 100 games but I can get 6 kills with koti and assist in more kills.Illuminate is so strong early game with a good team mate we can dominate.

He is fast really fast has endless many and more importantly is extremly rich.Once you start killing creeps you ofcurse dont want to do that too early that will not be nice but once you turn up the heat and start pushing you gonna get a lot of gold.

Enough gold so you can buy wards including sentry wards,you can get force staff to help chase down enemy players or boost someone to safety you can get boots of travel that allows you to teleport to a tower in a lane that is getting pushes kill all the creeps in one sweep and get lots of gold in the process.Once you have the blue scepter you can even heal.

He is fantastic support fast movement speed,lots of money and almost unlimted mana.This makes all the other heroes seem sucky in comparison they are slow dirt poor and sometimes only have real value till the late game.

I love koti but I cant find other heroes I like.I once got 17 kills with witch doctor which angered my team mates because I am a new player they did not know it was the second time I played withc doctor and I thought myself extremly talented.That did not last I soon releasized I am a terrible witch doctor.I cant find any other nice heroesd they all suck in comparison to koti.What hero would you suggest I try and do you play only 1 hero

Hm, the thing that kotl lacks is a stun or lockdown of any sort. His illuminate can potentially do a lot of damage but it requires a charge up to do so.

If you like Kotl you'd probably like Lina. Her Dragon Slave (Q) is similar to Illuminate in the sense that it goes in a line. But more to the point lina is a great semi-carry too, so she can look after herself more than kotl. If kotl gets ganked when he is on his own there's not a lot he can do, as his illuminate isn't an instant cast. Lina has a nice (if a little hard to position) stun and good nuke similar to kotl. She also has a powerful ult which once you have got aghanims will deal a huge 1250 damage to a single target which will not be affected by magic resist either providing you have aghanims.

Also if you like early game damage and kills Crystal Maiden isn't a bad one either. She's super slow but she never runs low on mana.

KOTL is great at supporting, but really needs an ally besides him at all times. KOTL has no escape, and no damage spell that you can use to defend yourself. Maybe play another hero that needs to stay in the fog?

The only hero that can be compared to him is probably lich.
He is also a lane support that can replenish his mana, and can spam his skill to harass.

Lich is stronger at laning becouse he denies creeps out of their XP range.

Lich and Lion are probably heroes you'd like, as they both have skills that let them sustain their mana and spells with good damage on them. Necrophos might also be an option, but his restore method, Sadist requires last hits and he is generally not as easy to use as KotL, Lich, or Lion.

necrophos isnt a support.

OK thanks everybody I will check them out.Koti might not have normal escape mecanism but he is very rich and does not need items to help out in team fights because well he dont really particpate sure illumate can help out mana drain and that bliding light thing he does not really need all that stats buffed like a carry does.Its fine to get a force staff and boots of travel for him.

With a bit of vision and common sense he is not that easy to kill.Wards at the right place he can easily TP himself out of danger with boots of travel together with force staff he is very slippery.

I apologize if you thought I was saying he's a support. I was simply suggesting him because he can restore hp/mana very easily if you get last hits, which includes denies.
