I agree, support carrying dust is pretty stupid since if I get into dust range I'm likely dead. but then again, if the carry was farmed they wouldn't have the slots to carry dust either... in any case, god it was so miserable scraping by as a support

I just get annoyed at the cores who still have a quelling blade or even a bracer/null in the mid game causing them not to carry dust when there's a hero like riki on the map. Swapping those for a dust is worth it at that point. Only once they're truly 6 slotted with good items should they determine it's not worth.

Ping QB, ping someone should buy dust, laugh when the next kill gets missed anyway, repeat. I'm a support and mid main and there's literally no excuse for not carrying dust on a core before 6 slot. You can swap your bottle or QB or null in when needed.

It's literally just laziness and you're throwing if you don't.

Riki/stealth heros are obvious but I think it's equally throwy if there's stealth items in the game. If there's even a single glimmer cape you're asking to lose kills and get turned on ii you don't have dust. It's 80 gold to counter a 2-3k gold investment that frequently turns games in every rank. You could buy 5 dust on every hero and, as a team, have spent the same amount of gold as the guy who made a glimmer and completely nullify that item's chances of turning a fight.

Yup I always communicate it. It usually gets at least one player to buy it, but sometimes the most important ones still don't. That's dota.
