So if you stand near the rune the bottle just grabs it? That might not be necessarily good right? What if you're waiting to give it to someone on your team?

No you need to click on it. But it doesnt matter if the bottle is empty or full.

Really nice guide. It's also important to note that when you have a regen rune it goes away when your HP/MP are full so if there any beneficial spells you can cast right after getting regen they're basically free since the regen rune will refund the cost in seconds. Fingers crossed for a key as well!

Great post, thanks! I've watched a few DOTA2 games, but haven't quite got a grip on most of the basic concepts yet, and this post certainly helps with that.

Cheers!

Good job Bumblebee! Very informative indeed. The only thing missing in my opinion is a section about towers. More specificially how they work. What are they going to aggro? When? Is it possible to reset etc.
Back in the day it took me quite some time to figure the tower mechanic out

Nice guide. I have a few friends who I want to introduce to dota (they have only played LoL), and this guide should help explain some major aspects of the game to them.

Cool stuff.

If I played dota back in like 2006 would I have a hard time picking it up again?

Really good guide. I hope that people embrace the new players rather than ignore them.
