Support is more imba than carry with their talent tree(?) in General Discussion
helping noah carrying 4 a...

    HI, guys what do you think about this talent tree system?

    Moreover i started to think that supports are imba in several ways. Let's take example of lich and sven talent tree and see the talents between them and compare it from below of the picture
    Lich

    Sven

    look at lich lvl 20 talent is you can choose between bonus 150 damage (WTF?) or 120 gpm Which if you chose damage is kinda useful imo.
    And also comparing lich lvl 20 talent with sven lvl 25 talent is kinda not fair imo, i mean storm hammer cd is not quite useful since sven need dps. They are lots of support gets talent buffed instead of carry. What are your thoughts guys?

      NO SHIT.

      Obviously the supports Talent Tree's are good, if the cores had amazing talent tree's even less people would pick support.

        Sven has cleave and an ability that triples damage, of course his damage talent is weaker than a supports. Most of these talents are so supports can be more than just ward bitches after 40 minutes.

          well , Yeah people more often pick supp because of this Since they buffed supporst alot and unfair. But in the opposite side they are going to be so many trolls too. They will just play support as carry or unorthodox gameplay, ofc this things rarely happened in 5-9 k above xD

            Not true, 150 plus dmg on lich is fucking useless. And getting extra gpm is nice but its lvl 20 so it is kinda later into the game. Cast range on lich is nice but its not even half an aether lens. The rest r just whatever stats. Svens is bad too but imo thats a bad example, just look at lycans tree or visages tree or someshit. Even for sven the mana is a godsend, and attack speed and movement speed are very valuable on the hero

            Shou

              Even to prove ur point to an extent look at something like aa's tree or jakiros tree. Pretty good for support trees

              Freya 69

                The gpm can transition Lich into a hero that can start to pick up 4-5k items if his cores, for w/e reason, are too awful to end the game by that point I guess. Piecing together a utility Bloodthorn isn't that awful by that point I guess.

                    I see why you're complaining, looking at all your games, you never pick support

                    Potato Marshal

                      I like the gpm talent trees since it allows items like hex to be purchased by supports instead of just int cores like tinker and od.

                        I remember kunkka has the extra gpm talent tree?

                              Voids rest of tree is kinda bad tho. Lycans talents make me really hard and so does huskar.

                                    anyway, this is a very specific example, sven's talents are like that so he does not get into the 'op as fuck' category while 120 gpm or 150 damage do less for lich than the miserable 40 damage does for sven (even if it is not amped by his ultimate)

                                    Potato Marshal

                                      It's a 56% damage aura with the talent actually

                                                  edgy names + anime pfp 1only

                                                    Sf can deal the same damage as vengeful spirit. 400+ damage with pike and deso. The +2 damage is godlike. Sf + vs + drow in 2-1-2 lineup where all the lane go well. Sven will melt in front of those 3

                                                    evy

                                                      But sven will melt those 3 if he got a 3 man storm hammer into 3 man cleave
                                                      In normal skill anything can happen and work ahahah

                                                      edgy names + anime pfp 1only

                                                        Bws if that is a very very big if. If you going to say ns ill just say that either drow sf or vs will carry the team hard. But im talking about vhs scenario where those 3 will not get 3 man storm hammer. The range of storm hammer is 600 and sf + drow attack range is 750 so drow can easily kite sven if he dont have blink dagger. Keep in mind that 3 of these hero will buy pike and can push sven and you apart. Also this strat cant be block by bkb. Any more question SEATARD.bws

                                                            VS has 700~ dmg (precision + venge)

If you want to get the 150 damage and 30% right click slow talents, start with building items like force staff, dragon lance, and orchid. Get MoM when you reach level 20 and finish off with other late game carry int items like hurricane and bloodthorne.

Most support talents are slightly stronger than core's because they're likely to be behind on items and XP compared to cores and this helps even it out.
