As far as keeping your team objective focused , the most important thing by far is warding . Think about where you ' re placing wards and what you want to accomplish . If you want to rosh and are dire , consider warding with obs and sentry in the radiant jungle where they will likely be coming through , and use scan effectively . If you want to push dire safelane tower , consider warding behind that tower or even get very aggressive and put one down further in the jungle . If your cores are constantly getting picked off by their heroes , consider where the heroes are going to be coming from , when they will be visible , and where your carry is likely to be farming in the next few minutes and ward accordingly . Always be ready to TP as well as soon as you see them getting jumped . If there ' s a 10 % chance you can save him it ' s often times worth it since TPs are so cheap now . As far as heroes being underfarmed goes , try to stack more and make sure you ' re effectively zoning out the offlaner . Chances are their cores are just as underfarmed , so if you can give your carry accelerated farm by stacking camps whenever you can , you ' ll get them ahead naturally . As far as picking greedier heroes goes , I ' ve been having a lot of success with Oracle in my bracket now , but back in 23 k I had a ton of success with aggressive supports like Lion , WD , and Shaman . WD and Shaman are both great for pushing either with snakes or by virtue of keeping your team healthy and the push going , and Lion thrives in pickoffs and disabling heroes throughout fights . Oracle and SD require more team coordination and knowledge so I think they ' re less successful in lower brackets for that reason . Ogre is a pretty greedy hero that can scale very well into the mid to late game , and Disruptor is pretty solid as well but it ' s important to know exactly where to position your spells and where to use glimpse to be effective .
