Hey there bumblebee,
I hope you this post will see

I've put some time,
in writing this rhyme

Since getting into the beta,
Would make me wait less on the ETA

For you I'm just another lad,
who soon might be very glad

I know this isn't much,
but atleast it has my own touch

You forgot to add Secret Shops, Couriers and Wards! While I understand this is a more basic guide, those things are still important concepts to learn for anyone at any level.

Very helpful guide for new and old players that went to LoL. Can't wait to see what other DotA guides you bring into TL Bumblebee! Also is there a perhaps chance of a DotA 2 team in the works? o.0

Nice beginner's guide, there's just so much to dota that it is hard to encapsulate them into a brief post, but this is a good way to start newbies off with.

Guides like this really helped me when I was taking up DotA a few years ago..
Nowadays I can direct newbies to said guides. Helps me, in a way, too. People pick up the basics faster - my pub teammates might actually be decent. (read: not horrible)

Thank you! x)

Really? I suppose by this you mean all 3 lanes of megas.
