Orb of Venom on Range Support? in General Discussion
Elephantum

    I'm a very aggressive support player. It's usually my goal to let my carry do all farming and denies while I run the opponent out of the lane. Sometimes with my range supports I will grab an early Orb of venom to do more damage and a little slow. What do you think about using orb of venom on range supports? Side note, Techies with orb of veno off start is RIDICULOUS with harassment.

    Range support, Orb of venom for aggression or no?

      Since it was nerfed on ranges I think it not worth it. U can buy blight stone and up it to medal instead.

        it's good...
        but you're (not you i mean people in low mmr even me ) not good enough to understand when it's good yet
        better just stick to getting more regen and being good at trading early on so you win lane
        it's good on wyvern
        not sure what else cuz i don't buy it often

          If you're an aggressive player then pick melee supports if you really wanna buy oov
          I call it a waste of $ if u buy that on ranged would prefer blight stone for armor reduction

            Why not windlace

              Blight stone or windlace is better if you're going to be incessantly auto attacking someone. Orb has no build up path, its damage and slow are negligible even at level 1 and being a pos 4 you need all the value you can get.

                yea, good point on it not building into anything. Might give blight a try!

                  Ogre with Orb of venom can be supper strong early game, but I think it's a lot of money for a low impact

                    Your toxic, when you buy a orb of venom.

                      Orb of venom feels too low impact after the first few minutes unless you build it from the start. But it costs way too much starting gold relative to what it provides for ranged supports. You can buy the equivalent of 3 sets of tangoes for that gold.

                      Seems like a better deal to just get more regen so you can afford better trades and be more aggressive in your harassment.

                      i have 5 reports to use

                        standard build= 2 tangoes 1 circlet for urn 1 salve for manfighting.

                        extra gold buy mango or branch or faerie fire or whatever the fk

                          Don't buy OoV unless if Riki, Ogre or maybe another melee.
                          It's too expensive, and you need regen/wards/sentries early game.

                            its good on melee heroes, bad on ranged

                            SirIronSights

                              Don't buy OoV, unless you want to be toxic.

                                orb on winter wyvern? hell no, she can't beat enemy because of small range atack. you can atack only when you use first spell, but cd too big. i think it's good on supp with good atack range with aggresive carry.

                                  Only ranged support I would buy an orb on is Techies to try and tilt the enemy safe laners.

                                    I'm a very aggressive support player.

                                    There is no aggressive support player, only a good or bad one.
