*** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

I just had an 81 minute game as Leshrac, entire team was complaining constantly at me for not warding when they were dewarding, whilsn't I was farming mek.

they were more than sorry when I had sheepstick, aga and bloodstone at the end though :D. Destroy those creepwaves!

Got a dotabuff match ref Sinny? I'm always interested to see what people were doing to not win/lose for over an hour. :p
 
I'd always recommend lich for new people (build E first and take the first creep as it spawns though, EQEQ<whatever>R<whatever>) because in lanes you'll be able to constantly nuke and deny the others experience. If you E on cooldown you'll be a level ahead at 6, you can pretty much blow anyone up then. His voice actor's really good too. While sniper's on the list ingame as newb friendly I think he's rather the opposite :/ No escape at all, absolutely zero. If you're out of position by even 200 units you're likely looking at death, especially as lower skill games you get a lot of people who abandon their teammates when it looks rough.Having zero escape is rare, even for a carry, and it will make life tough.

This guide lists some of the heroes you most likely want to avoid as a new player and which you may want to favour towards. It's also a great guide so well worth reading through.

Good luck getting into the game it takes a while but its well worth it. The community can be terrible at times but it can also be great.

OMG thank you for that link, it has filled in a lot of gaps for me about how the game works. I think it just shaved days if not weeks of blind learning off!
 
If that helped then it might be a good idea to watch some of the video Purge makes as well. He plays games and explains things very well, why he did certain things and so on.

Watching Purge has probably helped me improve the most.
 
Haha I added a few of the people on the first post. I would have refrained from adding Purge if I knew he was a hardcore dota2 player lol. Now I know why he hasn't accepted my friend request. I feel dirty. Like those people that spam people with friend requests on live streams.

btw if anyone sees me online and wants to play just invite me and I will pop on. I know I see people in the menus so if you are also noob like me feel free to invite. I got nothing better to do haha.

I'm determined to get into a MOBA now, I've always been put off of them because of the **** communities, but I'm going to give it a bash and try not to feed too much. I get the basics of them now, before I was running around trying to bash heroes all the time, some guides pointed me in the right direction.

Anyone who i can have some games with? Even v.s. some bots I don't care.

Also best heroes for a noob? Tried Sand King, Tide (Something), Sniper. Heard Lich is meant to be good so will give him a bash later.

I dont mind playing some matches, ill add you. can try to help you out with bits. i found this games much more fun playing with 1 or 2 other people rather than solo matchmaking
