Enable single player and in game options there's a checkbox for allow cheats.

-lvlup 25
-gold 99999999
-refresh
-spawncreeps

etc..

they aren't console commands, just type in game.

DOTA 2 crashes on launch every time. I've uninstalled, re-installed, verified the integrity of the files, all that jazz. The game opens, gets to the DOTA 2 logo, and then spits out a warning too quickly for me to read and immediately shuts down. Any ideas?

EDIT: Never mind! I first started it from the steam folder, then restarted it through Steam. Working now.

Gosugamers is also pretty good.

My question, how do people see their rating in Dota 2? Seeing screenshots/streams there seems to be no way to see it.

With Pudge, if I get 10 kills without any point on the MagicResist/STR skill; when I get the first point on it, will I get the STR from those 10 kills that I made while the skill wasn't leveled at all?
(I know that if I got 10 kills with the Skill Lv1, those get upgraped (giving more STR) when I futher increase the skill level).

Is there an adopt a baddie program for dota2 like on the LoL subforum? I was just given a pass by a friend, and I have never played DotA or HoN before and I never played much of LoL, I desperately need some TLers to teach me.


Also, someone should make a TL-DotA2 steam group

There is one:

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/teamliquiddota2

Which, admittedly, I only found because I tried to make one just now. Also if I'm around I'll be more than happy to help, but its quite hard to explain why stuff is wrong sometimes - it just.. feels wrong.

Where do you find wars? -__- They seem so hard to find, only rarely see them in the old #dotacw.euro. Or are all the teams really just playing MM?

in Dota 1 or 2?

Dota 1 is still IRC except you might have to ask individual teams rather than just spamming that channel

Dota 2, no idea, I would assume that most of the top players are doing MMR outside of dedicated practice. There just aren't enough people to consistently scrim.

Irc and friend lists for dota 2. There are teams who scrim, you just have to know them. And they probably won't scrim you if you're not known or impress them in MM or something.

is there a place where I can see guides aimed at higher level play instead of pubstomping?

for example, I know that vanguard and manta are excellent on AM because they make him durable, but I really have no idea how to build INT heroes since so many of the midgamey items (like wand, urn, arcane boots) were introduced after I had moved on from DotA.

while I realize there is some level of common sense and it can be situational, I would like to read up on item and skill builds so I can focus more on improving my mechanics right now.
Those small maps were like a boxing match in a phone booth.

If there are, I haven't really found them. The best way to learn is to parse replays of high level games (I prefer the Chinese ones) for item and skillbuilds, and watch their moving patterns.

So I have been playing a bit and now I am curious about a few things/

1) Courier, what happens when 2 people want to use it at once?

2) Morphling. How do I know his default stats and when do I know its safe to morph into high agi? Do I always go high agi then hit str as soon as I get attacked? And after I do morph one or the other what do I do to get back to a normal stat.

3) are the suggested builds any good for a beginner?

4) When you replicate someone do you have to box target morph and the replication right away and control both or will it attack the hero it replicated.

1) Courier takes both of their commands. It's up to the two players to figure out who gets to use it first.

2) I'll leave this to a morphling player to answer better. You can see his default stats in the box on the lower left of the screen that shows all of his stats. You get it back to a normal stat by turning on the opposite morph that you used - if you morphed into agi, then once you're done and want to go back to normal you morph into str.

3) Uh. In general they're not a bad place to start. Certain heroes stick out in my mind (cm, lich, especially venge) as having their item set be kind of dumb. I think I remember seeing a butterfly or something like that on venge's recommended items.
