Support Spotlight: Shadow Shaman 4 & 5 Support | Dota 2 7.31b

Might be showing my age here, but back in the day I played Heroes of Newerth and one of my favourite heroes to use was Pollywog Priest, more or less a 1:1 clone of SS with an amphibian aesthetic. Now I’ve started getting into DOTA 2 and discovered an extremely affordable frog-themed skin for SS, I can relive those froggy golden days all over again, and this video gives me all the knowledge I need to once more become a moist powerhouse of supporting excellence.

Great rundown, thanks so much

BORING JUST TALKING.

don't have time to watch it yet, but comment and thumbs up for the algo : )

Bakit naglalaro ng dota si michael v.?

Pls do Natures Prophet support

lvl 30 shaman here, totally agree with everything you say in this video! I never used to think maxing shackles first was good because of how dangerous it can be, but since the healing was introduced it makes it so much more viable, although i do think it needs to be used very strategically as it is so easy to cancel. great work man! :)

Thanks Z for the comprehensive explanation :)

Hey Z. I really enjoyed this video and I have been tuning into the streams and those are awesome to watch! It is nice to get these quick spotlights on how to play these support heroes, especially after an update. A quick question, when trying to coordinate with my team, what carries go well with Shadow Shaman? I want to play more Shaman, but don't want to pick him with heroes that don't go well and then blame the Shaman pick. Thanks again for the video!

SS feels pretty similair to Warlock in a way. They're both scaling supports with a shard that lets them shove waves and a super higher threat ultimate that threatens objectives. But where SS absolutely wrecks buildings and stuns enemies warlock is a super high damage threat in teamfights and heals allies.

Thankssssss I was looking forward to this vid! For the big items, between aghs or refresher, which of the 2 would take the edge in games where money is scarce? And also, is glimmer an option over bkb for increased survivability in said games?

yeet

When's the earliest in levels and items you'd advise taking rosh solo as Shaman

YAY THANKS FOR DOING ALL THE SUPPORT SPOTLIGHTS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY FAVOURITE HERO IS NOW FEATURED
