People should stop reading all these specific guides, instead just go and play HoN / LoL, they have alot of the same elements, start off with LoL if you havent played a MOBA before, thats the best way to get a head start on all the other new people out there

Well written, even though it wont help me as much as it will help all the new players, it was still a fun read.

Thanks for this guide. I never played DotA (only HoN/LoL), so this guide helped me notice all the differences between these 3 games. It will definitely help smooth out the transition to Dota 2 when it comes out.

Great guide. After playing LoL for so long, I forgot a good amount of what I learned when I first picked up DotA
