Thanks for a guide I can point my friends who play LoL toward. I'd recommend watching Luminous' guide on jungling for more detailed information, but this was a nice summary.

So after reading the guide again I want to add some things that are maybe worth editting in.

Illusion runes create two illusions of a hero that can be used for scouting, extra damage, or simply confusing the enemy


2 images. Last 75 seconds. Take 300% damage. Deal 35% damage.

Regeneration runes very quickly heal a hero back up to full HP and MP. Like a salve or clarity, these break upon receiving any damage.


Regenerates 3000 HP and 2010MP over 30 seconds. 100 HP/s 67 MP/s.

The Time of Day


Maybe you can add that one cycle takes 12 minutes. 6 minutes day and 6 minutes night time.

Yeah thats about it. Maybe its already to in-depth don't know (just ignore my Post then :p)

I dont know if it's intended, but they're not 6 minutes each. It's true that the first night starts at 6 minutes, but it doesn't end on 12 minutes and the next doesn't start on 18 minutes. I'm not actually sure when it changes exactly


The mechanics section on PlayDota says:

Show nested quote +

The clock starts at 6:00, which is where daytime starts. It is considered to be day between 6:00 to 18:00, and night from 18:00 to 6:00. Each complete cycle takes 12 minutes (6 minutes day and 6 minutes night). There are only 2 ways of interrupting this cycle, and it is with Night Stalker's ultimate, Darkness and Luna's ultimate, Eclipse. While under the effect of it the clock will be paused.


Are you sure there wasn't a NS ingame? If that was the case, it may actually be a bug in Dota2, PlayDota should be acurate on something as simple as this.

I'm not too sure, I'll check it out. I just remember being baffled about it.

Pretty good write up, but when I first saw the title I was under the assumption that this would've been a "complete beginner's guide to dota" type of blog.

You should probably clarify that at least a minimal understanding of the game is required, as the blog goes about a lot of basic stuff, but not basic enough for people completely new to the game to grasp (at least IMO).

Fingers crossed! I haven't played dota in a little over a year now so this was most helpful.

Great guide skimmed over it real quick; I used to play dota all the time but now I play HoN frequently and I am looking forward to DotA2.

thanks for the guide, I'm looking toward Dota 2 as I've been playing the orignal Dota ever since 2004. Brings me my nostalgia!

Looks really nice and it was a good read indeed.

Maybe you should add another section into your blog, which might include champion guides or first impressions of new champions.

I've been playing hon for a while and though I'm not super duper good, I gotta say it's a pretty good writeup.
Seeing how many people at my level (1700ish) don't know this kind of basics, it should definitely help the beginners.
Good job. ^^
