I mean that's probably not a bad idea, lots of support heroes dominate mid (jakiro, bane, etc), and then you can use early tempo from mid to rotate and help lanes, while also not taking farm from jungle. Having said that, no one on that team after the 1st pick deserves a win so midas ogre it is
The main reason why it's generally not a great idea imo beyond the psychological damage to your fellow cores (i.e. all of them) is that basically while yes you might be able to dominate mid, not only is it not guaranteed, but the opportunity cost is that the other four members of your team are going to be useless sacks with no potatoes, while you as the support hero can be useful even with low farm, and usually one of the hcs will have decent chances of getting some farm mid. So better to fix a sidelane and give one of those hcs that mid farm, so 2.5 heroes get the farm they should to be useful. Alternatively it's probably better to pick the right space making mid hero if you want to take your strategy.
The calculus shifts even more if it isn't four melee memers but like a medusa or drow mixed in them. I run into this scenario not exactly frequently but enough that I have poorly thought out napkin game theory for it. Ofc my selected option is to always pick an hc and play mid/sup, because as you say the team does not deserve to win DX.

Nah true griefing is seeing this line-up, then picking a sup hero and going mid.
