I went to play lan with 3 of my friends today, we were playing CS but at the end after one friend left, one friend suggested we play dota. Now me and my other friend had never touched dota before so that friend guided us a little, buying items at the start for us, and he chose a hydralisk hero for me. I was winning because I play StarCraft and have some basic micro but he plays games like runescape. A while after I killed his big rock throwing thing, and he killed mine( friend was helping him :[ ) he couldn't take the heat and left. So this kind of got me interested in dota. If I were to play dota again what hero should I use? What items and skills should I get?

Dota is great fun

So many heroes, the best way is to just play lots of all random easy mode games (-arem) and learn the heroes. Best thing is, in arem mode, if u ask ur team mate what items you should get, they wont flame you usually, and will help =]

make sure to d/l the map at getdota.com at your home PC before attempting to join games on b.net - you will get kicked for d/ling
Whats the altitude?

hahaha Razor is so imba. Also pretty easy for starters are Lich and Dwarven Sniper. Usually you want to play ranged heroes, since melee heroes are far more complicated to play with. Dota is very complex but once you get the general idea of hero types (agility, intelligence, and strength), you soon realize that basically all heroes need more or less the same items. There is enough room for individual builds though. Just play some more, I learned it that way.
Nobody ever reads signatures of people like me, do they?

the strategy forums of dota-allstars.com are just great, go there pick a premium guide try it.
Much fun.
Ho and btw funniest heroes are butcher and mirana since you can cast inthe fog of war which is so much fun. however on public games if u manage to get kills that way some may say you are maphacking even though you tried the whole game. -_-
RIEN.
