So support is difficult! Help friends, buy couriers, ward, smoke, not to lose the most spontaneously! Although still difficult, at least IceFrog slightly lighten the load of support through this 7.09 patch!
In this latest patch, you as a support player should be happy. Because in patch 7.09 get very favorable update player support. What are the updates? Let's talk about it!
Price Item Changes and Starting Gold
In this 7.09 patch, there are changes for the first two items to buy ie Tango and Courier. For Tango, get a drop in the price that was once 150 to 90. But you only get 3 Tango who previously earned 5.
For the courier price alone get a massive discount from 200 to just 50 only! So there's no reason for the team not to buy this important item. In addition, the price for the starting gold is lowered to 600 from the previous 625.
For the support, of course they can focus on buying essential items early in the game such as Wind Lace or Boots of Speed. Given the decline of the starting gold is not too influential for the players because important items such as Tango also lowered the price.
Creep Stack Changes
Stack creep provides benefits for farming easy heroes like Sven, Luna or Templar Assassin. But unfortunately it is rare especially for lower-level medals.
Well, now you are doing creep stacking benefit is getting 15 percent additional gold for you who do the stack. This is true if your teammates are killing creep stacking and do not apply if the enemy is killing.
Stacking creep is very important especially at the beginning of the game so it makes it easier for your friends to get gold and pursue the items. Of course gold profits also apply to players support to be able to pursue the items he needs.
Other Changes
Not only that, the support is also given advantage in this latest update with the initial bounty changes that provide additional 40 gold for all players in the team who take. But after that bounty can only be earned for players who take.
Another change is Tower tier 1 is now closer to the river and the removal of trees near the Radiant jungle. Not only that now the creep range is lowered its attack distance from 800 to 600.
At its own competitive level, the 7.09 patch has not brought much change in terms of hero meta or gameplay, the most influential possibility is the adjustment of starting items due to the item price changes at the beginning of the game.
With this latest update is expected more and more players are taking hero support. It is interesting to see whether this fundamental change will bring significant influence on the game!
