Had a really great success with Rhasta recently - a lot of disables + pushing power. This 0 cast point hex is my favorite thing in the whole game for now.
Dazzle is something I had a lot less success with but still great. Somehow he feels sluggish though. Not really sure why, but my shallow graves were missing the crucial timing.
Ancient Apparition is probably one of the strongest trilane supports. And his annoying slow+magic amp is really helpful if you have drafted in a lot of magic damage.
reasons why they aren't on my most played:
wd - he needs agha...
omni - also needs a lot gold
io - needs a good teammate (and i suck with him)
lol this is a weird thread. It's like, imagine if in a strange alternative universe people had supports in their top heroes list.
But since you ask..
1. Omni. (cos he is my most played hero)
2. EarthShaker (cos he is my most successful hero)
3. Abaddon (Cos he is A Bad Don)
1. Venge
2. Slardar
3. Crystal Maiden
CM used to be my favourite until they nerfed her int so hard she is mostly just useful as a walking aura in a lot of games. Venge is my most successful hero and I feel so great when saving teammates with swap and get lots of love from my carry <3
the 1st is by far necro. it has a good harass in early, damn good ulti with agha and its good in fights all the game.
wd- good heal and dps. you can get agha in min 25 max, even with wards and leaving last hits for a carry.
rhasta/lich- rhasta is a great disabler and pusher with his ulti, while lich is lich:D fuck this dude
^
yeah i would like to playt it
but unfortunately he doesn't have any disable early which makes him unreliable in the beginning :/
Necro's not a support!
Also I like Venge. Simple and effective. Now, even if you die in teamfights it's still good. She's the most noob-friendly support imo.
@Wink Senpai
I believe Fnatic did a roaming Slardar during XMG Captains Draft with decent success.

1# Rubick
2# Nyx nyx nyx
3# Encant or Enigma, threant Vengeful Spirit, and wind "runner".
1. Disruptor: great at picking off blinkers (AM, QoP, etc.), runners (Lycan), or when the enemy is retreating after a tower push. Great at countering initiations or starting initiations.
2. Dazzle: good during a push lineup, because he can keep everyone topped off. Pretty good against Legion Commander to prevent him from getting Duel wins. Great lane support due to his good attack animation and poison damage.
3. Silencer: situational. Good as counter-initiator, like after Axe's call or Centuar's ultimate. Laughably broken against Phoenix.
That would be Sand King, Rylai and Lich.
I really like playing SK. CM and Lich are my goto options when team needs ward bitch.
I also like Lina, but not on support role.

1. Lich- i can do almost everything with this hero
2. WR- not a full hard support but it can fit the role of a normal support
3.WD - i carry and supp at the same time bitch
Jakiro- Can Really babysit a lane well and push towers like a boss
Disruptor- Top 5 faggish skill in dota 2 With glimpse Powerful ult
Sandking- Strong ganker if needed to do so, Can jungle super well to get a fast blink and make money for wards etc and super strong teamfight presence
naga siren - cuz scales into late game very well
skywrath - cuz broken and scales into late game insanely well
meepo - cuz scales into late game very well
(yes i dont trust my team and i like to play alone in late game)
1)Lich cuz free EXP, insane teamfight and free nuke in lane
2)Shadow Shaman cuz OP
3)Bane cuz Blink DaggerAJAJAJAJAAJAJJAJAJAJAJJAAJAJJA

What makes lich is so popular? he has 0 disable only slow and able to deny creep..
that ulti though i can understand..
He's extremely strong during laning phase, when most supports have largest impact. Also he's easy to play.
idk but the most easiest to play is Lion, not to mention the mana drain + tranqs is never go home support. disables all over the map + shines when he hits lvl 6 pretty early
Suprise that lina overwhelm lion though but since most the reasons are because she's hot, i guess it doesn't count 
I don't understand the questions. Is it what are our top 3 most played supports, or which supports do we like the best, or which do we wish we were best with?
If it's the last question, which 3 supports would I like to excel at, it would definitely be visage, pugna and earthshaker. Visage if you have the skills is a devastating support. Pugna amazing anti casters just pain in the ass. Earthshaker is a game changing if you are good at landing the stuns.
^ how do you play Pugna? I just don't feel he has much of an impact except for the neitherward which is match up specific.
Please sign in to post comments.
If you would like to choose 3 supports as your most played hero, what would it be? and why?
example:
KOTOL: annoying in lane, can solo offlane, antipush
Windranger: godlike nuke early game, can also solo offlane
CM: i want to stay behind the battlefield but still useful! 3rd skill is very useful
and so on
