This blog has convinced me to try dota 2 when it goes free to play. I remember playing dota a long time ago and just trying to bait people into mines with goblin techies haha.


I have six invites if you or anyone else is interested. PM me if you are.


On that note I just got another invite if anyone reading this blog happened to be inspired to try dota.

Gheed as always tells stories well I'd also be interested in SC2 rants ^_^
Also don't get discouraged too fast. The first few games will always be a nightmare. The best thing you can do is play with 1-2 friends in matchmaking with vent/teamspeak/skype. If you don't have any friends who play dota 2 ask in the IRC channel or here on the boards, I'm sure you'll find people to play.
Dota2 being inherently a team game will profit immensively from speaking and teamplay. You'll notice the difference right away =) Also it will be just purely more fun!

I enjoyed this blog, especially because I recently played Dota2 for the first time after getting it in a TF2 trade but I had pretty much 0 moba experience and spent less time watching anything before playing. On the other hand, I played a few Bot matches to get my head around it before trying against actual players, I found the best thing about bot matches is you wont get the typical moba rage that makes you wonder why you actually want to have anything to do with the game in the first place.

I don't really think moba's are for me though, but I might still give it a go from time to time and play with a few friends who are considering giving it a go.

This wall-of-text could only be better if it were furry. Enjoy DotA, it's a great game, and the report system and low-priority pool for leavers seem to be working well.

I really enjoyed this. There is a lot that is similar to my own situation. I stopped playing SC2 a few months ago, and started playing LoL. Back in WC3 TFT I played a lot of DotA. I really enjoyed it, so I thought I would go for LoL because it is free.

Personally I like that there is no deny.

I am curious to try DotA 2. All the heroes you mentioned are very familiar. I think my memory of heros and items would come back to me fairly quickly. I am going to check out som VoDs.

How does DotA 2 work in compared to LoL in terms of what you have to buy? I know in LoL, I don't have to buy anything. I am unlocking heroes with IP and I probably won't spend any money on skins. But what is the model with DotA? I can't imagine they have skins, but what about masetries or rune pages did they add anything like that?

Anyway great read, GJ Gheed.
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

In Dota 2, you don't need to buy anything. The only thing you can pay for is cosmetic (unlike LoL where you can buy heroes, xp boosts etc). Heroes in Dota 2 do not have skins, instead, you buy gear for them. A new Axe for Axe, a new cape for Invoker, a new haircut for Drow Ranger, that kind of stuff. You also don't NEED to buy cosmetic items, there's a chance of them dropping after every MM game.
