but in dota, really no one is a "healer"

And you'd rarely say "DPS", you'd call them carries, but I was trying to simplify the terminology for people who never played dota.

I haven't played dota in years, I was active between 2012-2017, so maybe only the bad things were saved in my memory. I mean, maybe I just suck, but I distinctly remember that when the carry sucks, fingers are more often than not pointed at the support, and when I prevent ganks, pull the creeps, double the stacks in the jungle and so forth, nobody gives a damn because only the late game is memorable.
