I think it is fine for someone's first game of dota 2. It's faster than a normal game and helps them learn the basics, like the store, what the map looks like and a hero. All the other stuff can come later.

That hardest thing for most of the people I have introduced to dota has been the courier and the store. It's second nature to us, but fuckin nonsense to new people.


Ye, especially LoL people are extremely annoyed by the courier.


Their annoyed by having a servant bring them items?

Those lol scrubs

diretide is quite hectic free-for-all so theres no time to read skills and explain stuff. initially i'd say its a great intro but really its not - newbies need slow pacing at start of a game to even begin to get comfortable (reading skills, getting used to walking...)

I don't think it's a good introduction (you're missing too many of the fundamentals really), but I think it's a great way to get relatively new people to try out more heroes quickly given the bonus gold/xp etc.


I think the tutorial is a fine introduction to dota.
Diretide is all over the place and it's not like your teammates are gonna be on the same page.

At the end if the day both are valid. As long at the person is coming comfortable with buying items, using tp and so on, any way of learning is fine. I like dire tide because it ends quickly and thy get free money to fuck around with items.

Dota network sucks so much.
Couldn't join a party, tried reinstall, now I can't even properly install. It says I need anotehr update after I'm finished.

brood is pretty hilarious in diretide lol played a game just now with friends. You will lose the invi+free walking through your web but they must have at least one hero to defend their camp all the time, and if you have an ally he can just take the candy while you keep hitting it. Protip is pay for the visions near their camp.

And server is down. #takebackdiretideplease

I would recommend waiting, it's clear they are doing something wih the servers.

For me it has less to do with Diretide sucking, and more to do with tryhards every single game trying to break the record despite having 0 chance.
