Favorite/good unconventional supports? in General Discussion
Chao Vritra

    I know there are certain carries that can support and transition into a core almost as if they were a hard carry. What are some examples/some of your favorites? I have wanted to try naga for a long time but a non radiance naga scares me. I remember seeing a high MMR game where someone was playing support PA, just pulling creeps and farming and roaming. I want to try more stuff. I used to hard support with pudge, even before pos 4 pudge was an accepted thing. But now support pudge is norm.

    What are some ideas? I have wanted to fool around with brewmaster support or ursa (feel like he can kill fast enough to maybe make this work)

                                                                                                  I will also pick a support if you pick weaver lol. He can supp but he is so much better as a core.
