How to play pos 4 in Dota 2

Pos 4 (Soft Support) is an aggressive support. Active roaming from minute 4-5, ganking allied lanes, stacking camps. The main task — relieve pressure from allies and create tempo for the team.

Main task

Relieve pressure from allies via ganks and roaming. Stack the jungle camps at 0:53 each minute. Smoke of Deceit for team ganks on mid.

Lane phase

You help the offlaner on the hard lane until minute 4-5, then leave to roam. You start stacking camps from minute 1:53.

Mid-game

Global roaming with a TP scroll for ganks on the side lanes. Smoke of Deceit for team ganks on mid. Active ward control of the enemy jungles.

Late

The sacrifice role in fights. Glimmer + Force + Aeon Disk for the final push. You start a Roshan attempt via Smoke + ward dance.

Key items

Magic Wand → Tranquil / Arcane → Blink (if an initiator) / Force / Glimmer → Aether Lens → Aghanim's Scepter / Aeon Disk.

Common mistakes

Weak creep stacking, ignoring Smoke for team ganks, the wrong sacrifice (dying without value for the team), no wards in the enemy's key zones.
