Very good guide for new players. Although I am not new to the genre myself, guides like this one really help to eliminate a small portion of the enormous learning curve that DotA 2 has.

I'm still keyless, unfortunately

Great Guide for basics in dota being a pretty casual player who hasn't played too much since 2007 this is exactly what i have been looking for to get back in to dota and brush up on my skills!

Looking forward to more guides would love to see some more advanced guides too!

Nice to read up on the basics again. I played a little bit of DotA before I got into HoN and it's nice to see the basics are exactly the same so I won't have to start over come DotA 2!

Great guide. I've been playing DotA for a while but I've never cared for the duration of the runes. Had no idea that invis lasted for 45 secs. <3

This is a great guide, and I hope I can pass it on to friends this time around. Some of them would quit before they would pick up on common sense elements like using your towers for protection against enemy units and heroes. *fingers crossed*

This is actually a pretty good beginners guide to the basics of the game; I also didn't know that Roshan dropped cheese after killing him 3 times - that's interesting...
