Tips for a brand new DOTA 2 player?

get out while you still can

wards are key to information
always play OP carries
Learn Russian

best tip i can give you if you're just starting out is play a decent game like League of Legends

leave

Rofl dont play league of legends its shit. For Dota pick a role
watch guides and stick to few heroes till u learn everything
in free time read on other heroes skills

is it really that addictive?

Yes. I always return to play it. Played it for 10 years now...

go play league instead

Gtfo with ur gay as cancer for retards.

God dammit we always start this argument, don't we? They're entirely different games, let people choose what they want without making them feel like they've caused another tard-fight instead of getting actual reasoning from either side.

League is better kid

it's addictive and it's the worst game in existance

im not arguing relax. he asked for tips and i gave him the best one there is. if he wants to play a game half as good as its competitor then he is free to.

Nice try kiddo, he wants a game with a higher skill cap. Go back to the place you call home, reddit

Do limited play

That actually helps newbie players

pick juggernut 100% gg
jk, start with heroes like davion or viper or some easy shit like those

>play league

the best tip is to play league

before you start playing learn what all of the key-binds do, how to set them up, and when to use them.

you will save yourself a lot of time in the future if you learn it the first time around

e.g. all of the courier hotkeys, camera to hero, camera to mid/top/bot rune, items etc

dont

>cringe

play supports, if know how to support you can play just about any role. supports buy wards, learn where to provide vision, how to jungle stack pull and positioning. even as a carry i do all these things, even buying and placing wards if my supports cant or if theyre just retarded

...

This learn to support

CM is probably the best to start out with

She's the most basic of supports but if you've mastered her you can actually do some good nuking with her

play malzahar or zed mid and you'll be fine

...

I have done drugs.
I have done a lot of weed, cigarettes, alcohol, mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, amphetamines, even Ritalin and World of warcraft.
All of these things are a piece of cake to quit.

Shit.

I mean, even quitting porn was easier than quitting Dota2.
I swear to god. Its the only game i have deleted and reinstalled hundreds of times.

this guy fucking gets it

>fucking rage every day i play it
>promise that i'm done for good
>sucking stupid waste of time and people suck and teammates are shit and all the goddamn russians
>keep playing until i die

Watch PurgeGamers on youtube.
He has a lot of videos helping new players.
>Hero picking
>Item builds
>Lane & Creep mechanics
>Jungling & Stacking
>Last hitting
>Tread switching
Once you've learned and practiced all of those then you should be around 2k mmr

Mini
Mother
Fucking
Map

Check it ever 5 seconds, at least.

Purge is a good start.

Two biggest things are Don't miss last hits, get so good at last hitting that it becomes automatic.

second is don't fucking feed. Don't.

dont do it

holyshit


you will waste hours

fucking days

learning how to last hit only for some autistic faggot who mastered denial to shit on you

dont for the love of god

you will learn russian or whatever slav shit language they speak and then become an angry shit
