Opinions on Dazzle?

[Lilyvert]

I picked dazzle and got absolutely♥♥♥♥♥♥on by two teamates who ended up giving up around min 2 of the game.
Stacked, pulled, denied, warded. I did everything within my control to just help out like I usually do when I support.
I've read a few articles about dazzle and how he sort of has come back into the scene as of 7.20 with his new ult, but some obviously don't agree.
What's your guys opinion? It is apparent that every hero is situational as is every build exc.
But is Picking dazzle a reason to throw out a game? Just curious to know what your guys' experience has been when someone supports as a dazzle.
Thanks for readin' :)

I think Dazzle is the Pos 5 support of the actual patch in lower skill bracket. He only falls off at higher skill brackets in pick- as well as winrate.

Definitely not a reason to throw a game, if you play properly.
Also not a character who can win game by himself.

Yeah I never try to play by myself it's a team game and i feel so punished for tryna support in ranked.

7 L's on my calibrate. I've done everything IK to do as a support to prevent that from happening but feels so hopeless.

Dazzle wasn't necessarily a bad pick for the team matchups you had but ultimately your team likely suffered due to lack of hard CC.

You shouldn't pick save oriented supports on low mmr, as your cores do not know yet how to play, participate and deal damage. Whatever the items they may just run full fight.
Save oriented supports are for high mmr, where cores can basically solo kill 3-5 enemies, unless hard controlled. That's where save goes to.

Dazzle used to be one of my fav heroes for pos 5 but I think in this current meta, offensive support are much better than defensive ones as the game has become much more fast paced. I have much less success with defensive supports like we, daz, oracle this meta anymore even though they are my most played heroes.

In the right hands, dazzle is pretty dangerous and effective.
