Dumb Question S02EP06: Doom Support, a Jungle of Utilities

The existence of a hero in a lane made it weaker?

And restoring health from harrasses is bad?

Yes, you picking doom and going to jungle already made your lanes ****tier. Consuming the hill troll is useless as well, since people buy consumables. Plus, Doom, if you want to play him like that, is a 0 armor melee support. So how is he going to push enemies out from the lane?

Because you're sitting in Lane, your Carry is only getting half as much Exp. If you Jungle or go Ganking, you can get your own Exp and Farm without depriving your Carry.

That's what Tangoes are for, failing that, Shadow Wave, Living Armour and Mist Coil are far better Heals, because you can Heal the Core in your Lane with them, which is much more important than keeping your own HP up.

I think it was pretty clear from the start : *lane* support doom bringer sucks. The hero has no lane presence!

The only question is ; *roaming* support doom bringer or not? Like, playing him like a Chen/ Enchantress, getting Smoke of Deceit and ganking mid/safelane early with troll net and his 2 nukes.

Chen and Ench are fast junglers who threaten gank/push from minute one, and are hard to kill in their own jungle.

Doom is a slow jungler who takes 7-8 minutes to get to a point where he threatens anything, and he's easy to kill in his own jungle before that point.
