I actually got into contact with Dota 2 through these forums. So I hope to get a key from this. ^ ^ But even without getting one, checking out this guide has been anything but a waste for me, so I can't complain either way. Also, I can advice people who are completely new to the game to watch a Dota 2 stream here and there. Even without any commentary of the streamer and his/her skill being way above what yours will be when you start playing, you will get a good feel of how a game flows and goes. You will probably pick up a few things here and there as well and, believe it or not, the Dota 2 stream chats are often enough filled with a decent amount of pretty good people who don't mind answering a question or two instead of flaming your ass for asking them. At least, that works for me, everytime I watch a Dota 2 stream I happen to learn a few things from which at least 1-2 stick with me. Downside is that you are watching a game you... want to play, but can't. >.< Anyways, guides like these will certainly help me get more easily into the game when I finally have a Beta Key or (more likely), when the game is free to play for the public. So, big thanks for the guide Tree and don't give up on Prophet. ^ ^ Also good luck to everyone else who's hoping for a Beta Key. | ||

In a sense, the first four tips are there to make number five a reality. You don't want your creeps to be 'winning', you want them to be closer to your tower so that you have an escape route + no space for an enemy gank. You spend money so that your hero keeps up with everyone else, survival items are almost always the first few items to get (if you're a noob, getting 2 bracers at the start with every hero is a sure way to reduce deaths). Minimap awareness keeps you mindful of ganks, especially in pubs where people 'forget' to warn. The chat should signal any possible ganks, both from the enemy and from your team. tl;dr don't die also, many years of pub dota has taught me that you should never ever ever ever ever rely on your teammates, if you put yourself in a situation where you need a teammate to help you then you are doing it wrong (this does NOT apply if you have people you trust on your team) another thing i learnt is that if you want to make some friends through dota, be a bitch and support them and/or save them all the time even if you think you can't. most people that play dota are faggots and bm the shit out of you once they realise you suck so get them to like you before you start feeding | ||

I guess i could be considered a noob when it comes to DotA, i played very few dota1 games and played some LoL and HoN casually for 1-2 months. But I've always been interested in the genre, and i think the release of DotA2 will be the time i really get into it. Having early beta access would be great to try it out and I'll try to not ruin any of your games.  Thanks a lot for the guide again, a lot of people need this kind of guide when it comes to DotA-style games. | ||

Anyway it was a nice read on someone's perspective who's kind of new to the game. One important thing I didn't realize for a long time was that it's never important for the minions ("creeps") in your part of the map ("lane") to win their little battle. i lol'ed | ||

I got loads of experience with League of Legends but this is like a total new game. I would be really honored to be able to try this game out and see what it actually is. It looks like alot of fun in the streams and hell, I might even try to setup a stream might I win a key somewhere so people can see my mistakes and help me learn more about the game. Good to know there are more people involved that aren't all PRO dota veterans.. I already kinda felt lost. -Gwyndolium | ||

I'm hoping Dota2 will be a great revival for the game. It has definately caught my attention, and I hope that many new players will be swept up by all this betakey hype. Just look at me, posting in all these threads and f5ing my gmail in my pursuit one of the coveted keys. | ||
