    I was a silencer with a wk in radiant safelane against batrider and treant protector, and I got shit upon real bad.
    Our team lost all lanes in the first 10 minutes.

      Try to not die every 2 mins.
      Also, level 1 glaive against bat and treant is not the way to go on a support silencer.

        Dont pick pos 5 silencer. Besides you got both outdrafted and probably outplayed as whole team. Your offlane is also countered, there is nothing to analize.

          1: You didn't pause when a teammate was disconnected. When he comes back the lane is already lost.

          2: Bad positioning: this is your main issue throughout the game. As silencer you have longer range than most heroes, you have to use that advantage. You die several times because you are too deep, alone and helpless. This especially becomes an issue when the enemy team is really far ahead. In this kind of situation your best bet is to defend your base and go for sneaky pickoffs with smoke.

          3: Silencer is usually a better pos 4 offlane farming support than a pos 5 hard support. It's because silencer is a greedy support who scales well.

          4: You should watch some silencer replays so you can learn the hero. I recently played with a good silencer support in this game: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/5799808214

          There are also lots of good replays here: https://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/silencer/guides

            It is so stupid about the whole 'pausing' when a teammate disconnected. We four were party. One of them got disconnected and he asked to pause, I paused. But then, someone else from the party also tried to pause, the next second. And the game unpaused.

            And then nobody paused. It was ultra stupid.

              I picked silencer last minute, in the hope that I can do global silence and then someone in my team would stun and catch puck. What happened was that puck silenced me, almost every time. So that didn't work out.

              And yes, I think I should've put a point in the Q ability against batrider and treant.

                In short you forgot to include the first 7 minutes of game in your plan.

                Did you even once considered your lane enemies, and your lane-mate?
                Did you even once considered how the first 7 mins of game are gonna play out?

                You picked a silencer to counter single enemy hero. You didn't even bother considering the 4 other enemies you will be facing or the 4 teammates you have.

                Normally, pos 5 players don't care about offensive plays, there are 4 other players better at that. What your main focus is to win early laning stage, give your carry a nice start. In late, game your primary job is to stay alive as much as possible and to keep your core alive, always playing behind them with glimmer+force. In worst case, be the meat shield for your cores.
