    I am interested in learning micro-dependent supports/offlaners, who can I start off with?

      Enchantress. Not a micro depent hero but still requires a little skill in micro
      Chen. Cause just Chen things
      Edit: offlane u can use ld , beast or np . Pulling the enemy creep wave to u and shit like that requires some micro too

        Try support Brewmaster with Aghanim.

          arc warden

          Lance_e

            Practice visage like aui_2000 says in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9GSpj2Gm9I

            Good luck

              Good offlaners to try are beastmaster, and enchantress cause both can transition into the jungle if lane is overly pressured. You have the additional benefit of push, and with beast master have a very crucial big ult for a core. Lone druid is not a favourite of mine cause he's just useless if you have an awful start and the bear dependency makes him as a hero (alone) not very useful to the team.

              Honorable mention: Brood (as a last pick), and Brewmaster (if lane favours a melee offlane)

              Supports are easy as there are my personal favourites of Visage, and Elder Titan. But options of Enchantress are available provided your active.

              Honourable mentions: Chen, and Veno.

              I would suggest starting something with +1 addtional thing to micro and building from there. Heroes like beast master can go up to 4-5 (2-3 for chen/ench) things to cycle through as can prove rough to play right unless you're just running at enemies.

                Arc, meepo & visage

                cum

                  ^ Absolutely disagree, unless you're confident with micro heroes then DO NOT play arc or meepo. Arc and Meepo have two modes high, or no impact. If you play these heroes without the skill to do so you'll just be not just a burden, but will be hogging resource and space that is better placed with a carry that knows what he's doing.

                    Chen is even more difficult than meepo. Trust me i have 250 games with meepo and struggle with Chen a lot.

                      I'm learning beastmaster so I'd say start with that, very easy to manage your boars and hawks (they have no spells) and it's fairly low risk, natures prophet is a good one to learn too, brood also.

                      Then I'd say enchantress support to learn microing creep spells and practise using control groups, from there you can move on to brew.

                      Elder TItan is fairly straight forward, just gotta use 1 control group.

                      I can't recommend visage until you are really good at micro cause if the familiars get killed they give away a lot of gold.

                      If you can do Enchantress and chen really well then you pretty much got it.

                        Chen or Visage, with Chen all you have to do is rekt the early game with your neutrals it is pretty easy to do, you just spam your neutrals' skills and position them correctly, I have problems in the mid game however when everyone has boots already. Visage on the other hand is a hero you can micro with easily because your units are flying and has 400 movement speed, all you have to do with him is rightclick and position your fast units properly, the moment the gargoyles' attack damage is down to its lowest you use your Stone Form to stun and regenerate all the attack damage back.

                          Consider chen, or ench don't need more than one creep at a time. Have maybe 1 aura creep on follow, and then micro two of them maybe the troll (net) + the satyr (aura + wave) the cents can be cumbersome and require good positioning and micro to be able to get it just right.

                          Visage is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, and lets face it. Someone getting 100G after your birds have done what they need to do isn't the end of the world. Attack, Drop, attack, drop, die. Is pretty good in my books even considering you can resummon out of dangers way.

                            Arc Warden is A LOT easier than meepo micro wise. Controlling 2 units is nothing.

                            I3ambi

                              ^^ Yeah. But 5 heroes with 6 items. Compared to 2 heroes with 12 items. It's in the same ball park at least.

                                Beastmaster is by far the easiest one. Then comes ld micro isnt really hard but the hero is so you might fail a lot with him. Brood is really fucking ez. Enchantress is hard. Np is hard too. Use the treants to trade, to scout and to block. Visage is very hard to be played perfectly because you need a high lvl of micro during fights.

                                To play these heroes you need 3 hotkeys hero (i use f1) every unit except hero (f2) and every unit (f3).

                                Then comes Chen which is by far the hardest. You want to create groups for each creep. Usually the easiest way.

                                If you want some tips about ld you Can check the bulldog guide which is very detailed.

                                  easy: warlock, shadow demon, tusk,

                                  medium: nature's prophet, beastmaster,

                                  hard: chen, enchantress, naga siren, arc warden

                                      If youre looking to imporive micro on a support hero so that in case you fuck up you do not automatically lose the game then just go with chen/ench into jungle and try to gank with creeps.

                                        naga is definitely hard if u have no micro experience and are playing in a carry role

                                        Blackcat

                                          Np easier than arc and naga.

                                                @Bambi, it's nowhere near the same ball park.

                                                Learning 6 item keys and tabbing back and forth is much easier than microing a bunch of meepos, especially when two are extremely low health in the heat of a battle, and the enemy team is chasing the hurt meepos, and running right past the healthy ones. If arc wardens clone dies, big deal.

                                                Not only that, if ONE dies, they all die, no matter where they are on the map.

                                                  Lycan is the easiest

                                                    IF YOU WANT TO LEARN TO MICRO U GOTTA GO HARD, PLAY MEEPO AND HAVE ONE KEY TO EACH ONE THEN MICRO WILL BE EZ ON EVERY OTHER HERO TRUST ME

                                                    TeraByte

                                                      Brew and Visage aren't too hard to play

                                                        Do u mean controlling multi-units? Or competing 1v1 mid? If first : aw

                                                        Blackcat

                                                          You cant play meepo with one key for each meepo You retards. And lycan is the easiest because There is no micro at all, unless you go Next lvl and start blocking with wolves while you are dead.
