This is great for starter people. I have taken lots of time off Dota so I think it might be time to start up again!!

Thanks for this again.

DotA 2 would be a great game I'm sure. But I think that it is too much of a direct port of its predecessor. I guess the Valve team and Icefrog decided it would be safer to make a similar game and not change too much similar to how Starcraft 2 followed up on Starcraft. I started playing DotA since the Invoker patch and was unfortunate to not witness the full evolution of DotA from the very beginning but I have seen how the game have so drastically evolved since the first time I played. DotA was limited by its Warcraft 3 engine and I was wondering what do you think DotA 2 should introduce to the genre?

I mean no disrespect to other players if some of what I said offended others.

Very informative guide by the way, great way to gateway the genre for newer players. Keep up the good work.

Very nice high-level overview of the basics of DotA! The game has a reputation of being very intimidating to newcomers, so it's good to see content like this be put out there for the community.
I joined TeamLiquid for TSL2 but I stayed for Nada's Body.

Nice guide, I play LoL but that is the only moba I have ever played. It seems to me that Dota has a lot more depth once inside the game than LoL does, though there are masteries and runes outside for LoL. I really want to try out Dota 2 though, especially since the LoL client is the worst thing that has ever happened.

The usual time for pulling is (:13~:15 or :43~:45), although I'm unsure of the top pulling as radiant but it should be around the same.

It would be nice if you could include places to ward to block the jungle spawns that also give good map vision at the same time

Don't know how you'll randomly choose from thread posts (especially with the influx of random redditors ), but nice discussion of DOTA basics (even let me know a couple things I was unaware of Roshan).

If you mean mechanics or use of APM, then yes.
