FIRST PICK - Silencer - in Ranked in General Discussion
Story Time

    So guys, I wanna know your opinion! :)
    I spammed silencer for a while now in ranked and was always picking it first of the whole team since I am support-silencer (and he is not specifically countered, not like other supports at least).

    It was not always easy as you can imagine life of a support, but what do yo think about this concept? Silly or potentially alright?

    Did i also make mistakes with my builds? (sup silencer goes wards and forcestuff, but should i have made midas from time to time?)

    Thanks in advance

      Considering you're losing most of your matches, I don't think it's going well.

      You die way too much

        He's not specifically countered but he's not exactly a universally good hero to first pick reliably

        evy

          Bump cuz I have like 1.5 KDA on silencer

            i believe he maybe a good first pick material as he deny the enemy a lot of potential annoying pick (storm,ember,slark) and he technically the best from-support-to-carry hero late game

            jo~

              doing him fp now, i think hes really strong right now, curse got buffed immensely, + super strong laner + early game teamfighter which i believe is fairly important this patch

              fear is the mind killer

                As a TA player, i don't think its a good idea for you :v

                  HotSalza, thanks a lot for the advice! Now as a silencer I am not dying anymore in my matches!! Very simple solution to up mmr :D thank you!

                    silencers good. imo he was good in 6.88 but others disagreed

                      maybe you should buy glimmer/ghost some games and cool it with the casual voidstone into pike, IDK

                        honestly silencer 1st pick gives your team the impression you'll be a good pos4/5 support like rubik etc and that's probably why you die so much since they drafted according to your pick and rely on you to babysit but really, you buy the wards/detection necessary for you to snowball/get picks and let that int steal stack up and convert to a pos2/3 core who doesnt necessarily have to be with the team all the time and be a raw right clicker with a clutch global silence whilst pushing yourself or w/e

                        i see no reasonable situations where a teammate dying is a silencers fault for not silencing or buying wards cause c'mon, the force staff you build should be for yourself

                        4pos pudge/grim only

                          just get the casual tranquil (thread is good also) and then pike to some defensive item (glimmer, atos, lotus orb) and refresher and if the game dragged long enough, boom you are also a carry now harry.

                          trench

                            i think its one of the best team fight hero even for low skill bracket. It does get countered by manta but not allenemy go manta. 1 or 2 perhaps. thats still and advantage.

                            That stolen int, damn its like lc without risk of giving enemy buffs

                            evy

                              It also gets countered by eul or lotus but those items doesn't exist below 4k

                              trench

                                euls does exist. lotus rarely. but the point is you disable an enemy for a while even though he euld himself. Also theres more to him than his ulti.
