Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Hello guys!
I'm considering to start playing dota2. Currently, I'm playing starcraft 2, but sometimes I find it too boring, and probably the reason is that it is 1vs1. I played many other videogames, especially fps (such as battlefield or quake), and I've always found team games to be more enjoyable. I also played LOL for 1 month, and even though I didn't really like the game due to its little strategic depth (at least up to 1 month of playing) I found it to be more enjoyable than SC2 is to me now.
Simply, do you think I should give dota 2 a try? Will it be very much fun (except the beginning, when I red that it's quite suffocating)? Does it have more strategic depth than LOL?


Don't ask, go try it out! pm me for a key, i have about 100 of them lying around.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH DUDE!!

Have fun! Don't worry if you don't understand whats going at the start. You will have to invest at least 5-10 hours before you get a feeling for the game. But it is well worth it.

I just tought of something, if u know the opponent offlane or mid is bat, picking a viper to face him could be preaty good, u also have the advantage of having magic stick charges up.

U have superior range orbwalk and a corrosive skins that slows him every time he tries to attack u, the only danger comes in the early lv were ur orb has a long cd, if he gets enough charges on you he could bumrush you, but if u get pooled lets say one set of tango + magic stick + start of a wraight band for + dmg. I think this could really hurt a bat, and could be a soft counter in the same way as slark ( OMG STARCRAFT ANALOGY).

200 hours isn't a ton of dota though.

There are plenty of heroes that can win a 1v1 lane against Bat that are more useful heroes to have than Viper.

Anytime man WELCOME TO DOTA2!

That weird spectator version was trolling you and i am glad that somehow you fixed it. Like i said join the teamliquid in game channel so you will be able to find people to play with. Definitely recommend you to play some bots games to get used to the game mechanics first and then go into the real cruel world of MM (Match Making). We have a strategy forum so you can find alot of useful resources there and you can just ask some questions in the 'Simple Questions, Simple Answers' thread.

WELCOME TO DOTA2 again, you will love and hate DOTA2 (MM) like most of us^^

Yeah I wasn't saying it was a lot, more meant that you'll still feel out of your element after a long time ^^

Pfft, don't know what you guys are talking about; viper is awesome!

Once you get a shadowblade + orchid, you basically become a better Clinkz!
http://dotabuff.com/matches/191299290 - look, solid irrefutable proof that viper is always good and that the other team wasn't terrible obviously.

Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about and didn't see the irrefutable proof that I provided that will solve all questions regarding this that cannot be retorted and be considered legitimate.
