Melee Support Skills Compendium

I raise a glass of wine for myself and Melly_me. Our suggestions seem to be going to be implemented.

*Raises glass* Although it is also probably a good bet that they were already in the works. :P

Added one new support skill, changed formatting to break into (hopefully) useful sections.

No dices. This isnt the first time something like that has been raised and Dota have had it for 40+ millenniums.

Then I shall raise my glass all the higher for yourself and Melly_me.

found another support skill suggestion right after I edited. Man that thing is getting hard to read in a non posted state.

Just bumping this up where it's visible again. I haven't seen any new suggestions.

Updated. Added "Melee Support Strength/Int Gem: Flame Slash" under Multi hit suggestions.

Here's an idea:

Instead of golems, you summon a clone of yourself that would use the support melee skill. It makes a lot more sense animation-wise, and would fit in with the melee theme. Golems just seem to magicky for melee characters.

hmm that could actually be kinda cool. Something like a a 7 second shadow buddy that can perform one melee special attack and take some of the aggro off you.

Maybe make it mobile during its duration and have a 10 sec cool down so you can't spam it.

It has to be sustainable otherwise people probably won't use it. Summon a golem that attacks once every 10 seconds? Thing better 1 shot bosses or it would never get used.

Problem is, you also cannot make it follow you around like a minion, summoners are already living the good life.
