Their CS is only a problem half the time, even when I babysit them full time. The other half is just general ineptitude, but yes, either one is frustrating on the games where I don't think I'm the cause of it. Which is the downside of playing supports. Which I play a lot.


I tried your advice and liked it Wulf, it seems to have meant I can recuperate for my carry more (like going Mekansm Power Treads Desolator on Vengeful Spirit) but it's only going to be so long until the pub players strike back.

You don't really need the Desolator, its way too expensive. Get a Medallion of Courage, it will still let you do supportish business since its not that expensive(1150? Not quite sure about it,compared to the desolator 4400?Again, my math sucks),it also gives that mana regen and the - armor.

Then get a Force Staff, so you can actually save yourself from swapping out people.Sure, martydom is cool and everything, but in the moment you swap, you should only think about your ***(unless if its saving an ally, I only mean this as an initiating tool).Ghost scepter could also help against pesky hard right clickers.


Sure Desolator is cool and whatnot, and I sometimes like going for it on VS in a tandem with a Shadow Blade.You can take out the core supports easily that way.(and Shadow Blade can also save your *** when swapping around).

Glad it helped, recently started playing Axe a lot, and I am enjoying every game, + wining them all until this point.






P.S: Ignore the Nyx Assassin game, we had a Meepo that ended up like 0/13 and I had to do something about it, I was able to solo one of their carries at all point in the game, the problem was that Huskar also left the game, so we were kinda 3v5ing them.I ended up with 17 kills as the main support.


P.P.S: Mekansm Axe is AWESOME
