The recent patches of Dota have all focused on making the supports like Position 5 and Position 4 easier for players. The Dota 2 Update for patch v7.22 is no different. The cost of Observer and Sentry wards has been decreased from 75 to 50, it was not long ago when the courier cost was made a lot cheaper and now the wards are cheaper too.

However, most people did not understand that even if the wards are cheaper, the penalty you have to pay for getting your observer dewarded has become worse. The gold bounty from dewarding has been increased from 100 + 2/min to 100 + 4/min and the XP bonus has also increased from 50 + 4/min to 50 + 6/min. These changes coupled with limited sentry wards on the map, makes warding a tricky yet rewarding job for talented and skilled players.

The reduction of XP requirement to reach level 6 will also help most support heroes as they have great level 6 power spikes. Tomb of Knowledge will be a great item to pick up around the 10 minute mark for the supports so that they can hit the power spike soon and have an impact on the early stages of the game.
