Hey guys with the release of custom wards, I'm thinking of making a competition to encourage support play. The best replay sent to me I will buy him a ward of his choice and -MAYBE- something else.

So what criteria would you say is important to good support play?

- Courier (includes flying it)
- Warding
- Let carry last hit

Anything else?

beside courier, warding,let carry do last hit, help other hero by hex or disable or spam aoe damage, always join war if possible and sacrifice urself?

Supports don't necessarily have disables tho, but if you mean in general they get support items, I agree, that's something I missed out. Meka, mana boots, etc.
Joining war is not a support thing exclusively tho.

Sacrificing yourself, how? Body block?

Most important will be always carry a TP and instant TP to the place where your teammates got ganked or enemy diving for kill. This will change the game by a lot if you manage to save your teammate or get some good trades or even wipe them off.
*
While I think carrying TP is good play, I don't see it as a support action. For example, if a teammate is getting ganked, a KOTL or a WISP can't really do much about it. Yes I know most pro matches pick supports with disables for this reason, but I don't want to exclude good KOTL or WISP play. Wisp, especially I feel has a high skill cap to use effectively. BUT if you ARE a support with nuke/disable and don't TP to help then that would count against you.

In fact if anyone wants to help me review replays and we can discuss about it, let me know. biggrin.gif

so what is this competition about?
can elaborate more?
joining is consider support too. giving support in the fight. consider support too right?

sacrificing got few methods and hero depending in some situation.
most common 1 is VS.
swap ur carry to safety and u die there.
yes. kotl and wisp can do lots of things.
mana leak could make enemy stunned and let ur ally escape. same goes to chasing. u don deal dmg, but u help ally chased them.
wisp is a good example of sacrificing hero.
when wisp together with carry... 4-5 heros gank u. u can consider link and ulti back home.
and of coz run around go buy time. once reach home, u unlink let carry stay back home and u go back that spot let them gang rape u.
not to forget, wisp boost movement speed and attk speed.
is extremely good support hero in battle.
*
Competition is basically - from a certain date to a certain date, people can submit to me and maybe one more person to judge their support play. Best support player I will buy them a custom ward. And if it's really good I might buy them something else at my discretion. smile.gif

What I meant about tping in is that not just a support action - but yes good support play would include that, so will consider that.

And good point about KOTL, tho I find mana leak to be too circumstantial and undependable. Good for team fight tho.

Yup good point about Wisp, must admit I very rarely play Wisp, hard for me to use.

because the previous record holders would've gotten the courier if valve had ended the event at the intended time

The intended time? Correct me if I'm wrong but they never announced officially the end time.

Nah depending on the color they look different. The purple is ugly definitely cause of that dragon looking maw. But the rest are quite cute, especially with unusual effects.

Valve giving out free unusuals lol. Very weird. Also the effects are okay, only the 3rd tier one looks the best IMO.
Best news of the day is, finally can get back to normal matches!

I have the dreaded, seraphic and determined. Even tho I paid most keys for dreaded, it actually is not the best. The black whirling misty effect doesn't pop out too much.
