I managed to watch parts of each game last night.

You guys played well. Both were hard games, and the Tinker is game 2 did a good job in keeping lanes pushed so that even if you did take a fight, you couldn't take much advantage.

I knew it would be a hard game though. I have one of their players on my friends list (Invoker is Game 1, Tinker Game 2) who I play with fairly often. He plays a good game of Dota.

Must admit, your Nyx play was good :)

I think CM in particular needs a little more farm or at least a higher GPM than your average supports in order to get that mana pool up. Her ulti is a mana monster.

I feel this is a major mistake players make. They keep on thinking that supports need 0 farm, but I found that most supports can carry is played right. Supports need farm early game or until mana boots/Headress+Buckler is done (< 15min) to help the carrys survive. after that the carrys can get it all the supports must literaly just keep them alive.

I disagree. Supports need farm but not at the expense of cores.

That however doesn't mean a support mustn't get farm. The support must just develop the skill of finding farm without compromising the core's farm. Pulling well and often and making sure to get those last hits on the neutrals for example.

What?

CM as in Crystal Maiden?

Definitely not. She's a support. Supports need 0 farm.

Wrong. Some supports need very little farm but all supports need some basic amount of farm to get those key items. No support that I can think of can get by with nothing at all.
 
How do I delete the beta installation, everytime I start up dota, steam starts the 7gb update, i then cancel, small updates dont get installed either then :(

I’m not saying support need to get all the gold, just that it is an equal fight for creeps the first while. Killing of hero’s is still strictly for carries, unless they are getting away.

Please no. Nothing as bad as having to compete with your support and the other team for last hits in the early game. As for the carries getting last hits on heroes; that is purely a luxury and something that I as a support player do not even consider.
