Pretty good guide, but perhaps mentioning tower attack priority is a good addition.

Nice Blog. I didn't really like DOTA games until a friend forced me to sit down and play some LoL. Now I don't play much else. I'm hoping for a key, but with all these other people, I doubt I'll get one...

Wow,

I've been playing League of Legends for quite some time now but haven't really played DOTA.
I'm seeking to play DOTA2 once it gets released and this really seems to sum up a lot of the differences between LoL and DOTA

nice post, would love to get a key, getting tired of LoL
SC2 is so great, I'd rather watch someone else play it then play a different game myself.

Thanks, useful stuff right there particularly for those who are looking to come over from LoL and such, where things like creep pulling just don't exist.

Very nice guide, always a treat to read such thorough works.

As a question, do you think you or flamewheel will be writing up a guide on hero roles (initiation, carry, support/babysit, etc), and/or proper laning (special focus on playing mid, obviously slightly different based on hero but I feel like people need to know to control runes/gank appropriately)? Would love to read a thorough version, and I know it'll help out the community that is new to dota. :D

And of course, fingers crossed for a key!

I've already written a blog about the different types of heroes. :-)


Oh great, I'll have to look that up then. :D

I could only find the one discussing supports, which did indeed reference to a previous blog being about lineups, and I'm assuming that's the one where you discuss overall roles. I'll dig it up and give it a read, thanks!

Edit: found it! http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=276896

There's the link for anyone interested.

Go to the DotA2 forum and there's a sticky thread with an archive of blogs from us. :-)

I guess I'll try my hand at getting a key. I've tried a few other contests like this and I'm still trying >_<

Great post, besides!

Great guide for newer players, but I already know most of it.
Here's to hoping for a key!

Thanks for the great guide, never knew that creep stacking was such an important aspect of DotA! Usually only played for fun with my friends.

I'd be interested in knowing how wards work in Dota2. Specifically if the same spots as in Dota still apply. The best ward spots used to be slightly tricky. I wonder if they've made those spots easier, and if there are some new sweet spots for warding.
