Malthe Wrote:Venomancer is a support that can kill pomegranate right off the bat, his level 1 ganks are amazing. He's a decently scaling support since most of his pomegranate can work through magic immunity.
Viper is a hero that can dominate his lane and carry somewhat in the mid-game. His lategame is meh but he's strong in lane.
Tidehunter is another support that has an amazing teamfight ultimate. He's great in both early and mid-game and works lategame too.
Venomancer can usually work as both 4th and 5th position, but he can also be put into 2nd position since he's quite strong in lane as well.
Viper is usually 2nd position in pub games, but can also work as a 1st position, it's just rarer to see him there.
Tidehunter can run anything from 3rd to 5th position, most common position for him is 4th though.
How do you play Tidehunter, Malthe? I tried him once today and went 0/13. I was in safe lane against Lich and Phantom Lancer. Everytime I tried to save my lane partner, I ended up dead too. Lots of feeding going on. I feel like one problem is that I overestimate the tankiness of strength heroes (I'm terrible with Lifestealer, too), but I'm curious about how Tidehunter is played.
