As basic as it gets for learning DotA. Even though I've been playing it for ages, I still learn something new everytime I read guides. Thanks man for refreshing my basic DotA knowledge. :D

There's something you you might want to add to Roshan, but I don't know if it works in Dota 2:

M-moving illusions onto Roshan will not cause them to dispel, but they can tank Roshan and ranges heroes can freely hit Roshan until the illusions are gone.

Nice guide! I never played the original DotA and I barely touched HoN. I have played alot of LoL though. I am interested in DotA 2 lately though, already entered in to get a beta key.

Nice Guide. Too often people start writing these things and think people just should now stuff and not realize there are those who have never played the game before and need the extra help. Hope to see more.

For someone who has never played DOTA, but has played some LoL, I'm interested in trying out the game. At least now I don't feel as if it is a 100% completely different game, except from what I've seen is that the game snowballs quite hard.
