    Although many Dota 2 players are fans of the core role because it allows them to have more control, there are tons of support players as well. Playing support in the Dota 2 patch 7.37d is pretty fun, assuming you pick the right heroes. Therefore, this article will go over some of the best Hard Support Dota 2 Heroes in patch 7.37d.

    Regarding Hard Support, the so-called position 5 is vital during the game’s early stages. A team that doesn’t have a good Pos5 player usually has problems early on, leading to many difficulties in the mid-game.

    Lich

    Whether you check Dota 2 Liquipedia or Reddit, you can see a lot of people consider Lich to be one of the best Hard Support Dota 2 heroes in 7.37d. His ability to harass early on and have constant mana allows him to be way more aggressive. That’™s one of the reasons why you can often find him alongside carries like Slark and Ursa.

    Skill Build

    Most Lich players will focus on Frost Blast and Frost Shield. Some people can also go for Sinister Gaze, but players will usually only level it once.

    Talents 

    These are the best talents for Lich:

    Facet

    In terms of the Lich Dota 2 Facet, Frostbound has an 81.43% presence and a 55.06% win rate. Growing Cold, on the other hand, comes with an 18.57% presence and a 54.43% win rate.

    Items

    Lich is one of these Dota 2 supports that can work with a wide range of items. Let’s look at the most common alternatives.

    Starting items:

    These are among the best starting items:

    • Wind Lace
    • Clarity
    • Tango
    • Healing Salve
    • Observer and Sentry Wards


    Early Game

    Lich doesn’t really need much to be effective early on, so here’s what you should look for:

    • Boots of Speed
    • Magic Wand
    • Observer and Sentry Wards


    Mid Game

    Assuming Lich’s team is winning, the hero can get pretty good items for the mid game. This includes:

    • Tranquil Boots
    • Glimmer Cape
    • Smoke of Deceit
    • Aghanim’s Shard

    Late Game

    Lich’s late game items can include a wide range of options:

    • Aghanim’s Scepter
    • Aether Lens
    • Force Staff
    • Solar Crest

    Situational Items

    In some instances, Lich can use the following situational items:

    • Blink Dagger
    • Ghost Scepter
    • Scythe of Vyse
    • Lotus Orb

    Warlock

    It seems like Warlock is among the best Dota 2 support heroes right now because his stats are really impressive. If we look at DotaBuff, we can see that Wlock has a close to 9.47% pick rate and a 53.99% win rate, making him the second-best option after Lich.

    Warlock is one of those Dota 2 supports that can fit into a lot of lineups. He is a solid laner that can also do damage in the late game. His ultimate is often underestimated in the lower-MMR brackets, but it is strong enough to make a difference. 

    Skill Build

    Warlock is an excellent laner, so most people will focus on his W (Shadow Word). The ability allows him to sustain himself and his allies, but he can also be really annoying because of the total damage output.

    In terms of his other skills, most Warlock players will go for Fatal Bonds because this is what makes him very dangerous. Upheaval isn’t really that useful early on, so most people pick it later on. 

    Talents

    Here are the talents that most Warlock players go for.

    Facet

    In terms of the Warlock Dota 2 facet, most people use the Champion of Gorroth option. It has a 73.64% presence and 54.39% pick rate. As for the Black Grimoire, it has a 26.36% presence and a 53.44% win rate.

    Items

    Although some people pick Warlock as a core, he is almost always in the role of a support Dota 2 hero. Therefore, there are specific items that he needs to get, depending on the game’s stage.

    Starting items

    Usually, Warlock starts playing with the following items:

    • Clarity
    • Healing Salve
    • Tango
    • Observer and Sentry wards

    Early Game

    If Warlock has a good early game, he should have the following items:

    • Boots of Speed
    • Magic Wand
    • Sentry and Observer Wards

    Mid Game

    For the mid game, Warlock’s items will depend a lot on whether his team is winning or losing. He can have the following:

    • Glimmer’s Cape
    • Arcane Boost
    • Aether Lens
    • Force Staff

    Late Game

    In the late game, Warlock can often use the following things:

    • Aghanim’s Scepter
    • Aghanim’s Shard
    • Refresher Orb
    • Aeon Disc
    • Guardian Greaves

    Situational Items

    As for the situational items, Warlock can get the following:

    • Eul’s Scepter of Divinity
    • Blink Dagger
    • Scythe of Vyse
    • Lotus Orb
    • Meteor Hammer

    Shadow Shaman

    When it comes down to Dota 2 support heroes for beginners, Shadow Shaman is among the best options you can get. He is very strong early on, can do tons of damage in the mid-game, and is great at pushing. This makes him one of the best hard support Dota 2 heroes in 7.37d.

    Like Warlock, Shadow Shaman can be a solid lane support. Unlike him, however, this hero can also be played as a position 4. His skill set makes him a solid pick to gank enemies.

    Skill Build

    Shadow Shaman’s skill build will depend a lot on the situation and the heroes he needs to go up against. Usually, people will focus on Shackles and Hex because these two things allow him to disable his opponents. With that said, a lot of people may focus on Ether Shock because this is Shadow Shaman’s only nuke. 

    As for the hero’s ultimate, he should get it whenever possible. 

    Talents

    These are the talents of one of the best support heroes in Dota 2.

    Facet

    When you decide to play with Shadow Shaman, you will see that the Cluster Cluck facet is a lot more popular than the rest. The latter has an 82.07% presence and a 53.30% win rate. As for the Massive Serpent Ward, it has a 17.93% presence and 51.09% win rate. 

    Items

    Shadow Shaman is among the Dota 2 support heroes that can use many different items, depending on their opponents. With that said, some of the options are much more popular than the rest, so let’s check them.

    Starting Items

    Here are some of the best-starting items you can get for this hero:

    • Observer and Sentry Wards
    • Smoke of Deceit
    • Tango
    • Healing Salve

    Shadow Shaman’s early game items are also standard, meaning players usually go for the same items. The list consists of these:

    • Boots of Speed
    • Magic Wand
    • Wind Lace

    Mid Game

    Shadow Shaman’s mid-game items can make a big difference for his team. Some players like getting more offensive options, whereas others prefer to be on the defensive side.

    • Aether Lens
    • Blink Dagger
    • Glimmer Cape
    • Force Staff

    Late Game

    Shadow Shaman’s late game presence is very strong because he can disable two heroes at once. With that in mind, here are some of the best options he can go for:

    • Aghanim’s Scepter
    • Blink Dagger
    • Eul’s Scepter of Divinity
    • Refresher Orb
    • Aghanim’s Shard

    Situational Items

    Shadow Shaman might be one of the easiest support heroes to play in Dota 2, but this doesn’t mean he can’t adjust to any situation. 

    • Scythe of Vyse
    • Guardian Greaves
    • Refresher Orb
    • Aeon Disc
    • Bloodstone
