    I've been doing offlane support ES for quite some time now and it's very interesting how people overlook you for about 2-3 minutes of free farming.

      he requires some assistence (like dual off f.e.) and is very situational. if enemy's supports are good zoners, you will be lvl1 at min7 unless they make stupid mistakes.

          before anyone else says it:
          normal skill

          you can do anything at 3k mmr, doesn't mean it's good. i remember getting bloodstone on riki on drow cos it gave survivability + mana regen so that you never have to go back to base ^_^

            ^u still have some gaemz in NS on the last page of games as well

            TripleSteal-

              ayyy lmao

                yeah, and look at who's always in them, Futile, my party mmr's only 3 something and his is 2.7 or so. while all my solo qs are in VH and his are in normal / high.

                cos checking basic stuff like recent friends is hard

                TripleSteal-

                  it was obvious u got to Ns with friends, I didnt even need to check it
                  what i mean is that sometimes you still play there and can provide thoughhtful insight on how dis bracket works

                    Well same N skill here, I am playing ES support always offlaner, well honestly to say, you need a ranged ally or melee who have a way to early mobility skill(ex: slark), the main reason you there, dont last hit any creep, but still deny if you can when your ally is a carry or hit some when your partner is support, mostly I stay away from the conflict zone, but still in the exp zone, oh yeah why i say you need ranged ally or early mobility skill like slark, cause you will need to use fissure to save your ally, but sometimes when my position is wrong, i can block my ally too.

                      You're still 49 games away tho, but when I say free farm it means that my lane partner is on top or mid or doing other stuff in the meantime and you don't really need allies who have mobility skills early on. The reason I offlane ES is I can roam mid, I don't usually stay behind my lane partner, because I'll suck up the experience that needs to be on him. I don't need to babyshit my lane partner all the time and they play safe if I'm gone.
