Bumble, the Dire video is blocked for me in the USA, some copyright claim.

Sorry if you already figured it out but I just tested it and I can't watch in the US due to copyright infringement on the music being played.

Luckily for me I already know how!



edit; TL too fast.. 5 people answer before me. ^_^

nice guide, at least new players will have "basics" to start with.

One thing I hate about positioning is that when I'm farming and there's a fight, I need to leave the creeps and go fight -_- as an initiator is ok but as supporter (who rarely gets a chance to farm 1-2 creeps to buy wards) is really irritating. As ganker/semi is different story though 'yummy kills' xD

This is a great guide for newer players.

As for myself, I never knew about pulling.

Great guide, could use a ward section or at least a ward guide link. I think if you include jungling/pulling its a must know. But good work, would love a key. Dota for life!

Thanks for the guide! I was playing a lot of Dota 1, but I haven't played again in quite a while (thanks to Sc2 ). So this comes as a great refreshment.

Yeah, a ward guide would have definitely been nice. In other ARTS games I play, I get some weird delight from placing wards for my team. I love having such a huge impact on the game with a simple action.

Please consider this! =D

great guide, just one question though, the stacking up to 3 camps part is it because after 3 camps there's too many creeps so it's really hard to, or the game literally won't allow it to happe. anymore? I remember when I uses to play, you could have stacked more but was just really hard to do, but that was a while ago

Can't wait for the actual release too! Hopefully I can transition to this from HoN.
I'm pretty tired. Think i'll go home now.

As a dota veteran (since 2006) you have hit every point spot on. I think you should include a section as to Fountain shops vs Side shop+Secret Shop. This way some ppl in pubs etc will know what items they can get from the side shop and might affect their initial buy. I for one took a long time to figure out where the secret shop was to buy a damage weapon for my recipe -_-". On top of your trilane post, I also think you should put a section on roaming. Adding to the roaming part, perhaps a section on hero roles (Initiate, tank, carry, support, gank)
