http://www.playdota.com/guides

most of the higher rated guides are okay
some of them are a bit dated or a little inaccurate, but they're usually fine anyway

How do you notice auras in dota 2? What is the difference in looks between leoric aura, vladimirs, shiva and so on?

I looked through some of these; every one I read will get you flamed in a dota 2 game.
I liked Dota before it was Mainstream.

That page is hilariously bad. What's with all these heroes who should buy chicken first?

sf, viper, spectre, tinker...are the builds stolen from a 1v1 contest or something lol.

Rhasta first item void stone.

The rest of the original post is very good advice though.

none at all? That's a pretty big deal, isn't it? It is quite important to be able to tell if an enemy's basilius ring is turned on or not. Or sometimes you can spot an invisible enemy hero by seeing creeps having an aura on them.

Uh, I thought some of them show up like Mekansm Pipe Runes Ring of Basilius Vlads Assault Cuirass etc., even enemy debuff auras like of Cold Feet, Rupture, Heartstopper Aura are hitting you. right above the portrait of the hero...I could have sworn that would mean the other ones show up too, I honestly can't remember now though.

iirc correctly (i havent played dota 2 in a while): auras and status effects show up above you like in the status listings of the old dota (for sure), but the visual effects of auras are nothing like in wc3 (sketchy).

rob aura in wc3 displays the same regardless of normal aura/heroes only

Yea in Dota 2 I've seen effects for all of these. In dota some do some don't.

Just got a key from a friend and never played the game before. Is it normal that the game feels «laggy» in the commands ? I have a 7ms ping but when I play DotA 2 I feel like I have 200... Pretty darn unplayable. I've checked I'm playing on the EU server.

It's usually around 20:00 Eastern US time. That will be 01:00 or 02:00 Fridays in Denmark, I think

I can'say for sure, but I think you could play on his account if you're being reasonable. That is you don't always log on 15 secs after he logs off. I mean, Valve is checking your IP right? so if on monday the account is logged on from China and on tuesday it's logged on from United States, something is fishy.

Anyone had a go of Jakiro since he was released? He's in my top 5 favourite heroes, just wondering how he handles now.

There has been muiltiple cases of people being banned, and people not being banned for sharing accounts.

I'm not quite sure what makes the difference, but it looks like a very fine line, so I'd be very careful.

Does www.playdota.com have the best guides for dota heroes?

A few seem pretty old, like '09, but that might not matter for dota.

Is there any really good and dedicated healer in the game? Or if not, which is the best and why?
