I come from LoL and i used to play Singed/Maokai SoloTop or Bitzcrank/Alistar Support Bot.

What champions should I try in the beta (i got it recently) that fit in my style.

Maokai is a tank so is Singed. If you like taking, I'd suggest you try Dragon Knight. Huskar will be a good pick for you as well. The majority of the Str heroes I think you will enjoy playing.

A great resource is http://www.playdota.com
Im not experienced with Dota but from what I gather, most of playdota is still relevant to dota2, including things like guides.
if im wrong then for the love of god someone please correct me.

www.dota2wiki.com also has lists of information about dota2 including items but I think they lack a guides section. Good Luck!


Thanks this will be a good start!

Yea I wasn't too sure about the item crossover from Dota 1 to Dota 2. My friend said just some of the names are changed, but imagine some have been tweaked.

The hardest part for me is just remembering to use the damn things. :S

I'm having fun so far though trying my best not to feed, while I get used to game.
Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

Blitz is often compared to pudge, but pudge is not really sideline support material. He was about snagging a hero then using your lanemate to help dps them down really? If tuskar were in dota2, I'd suggest him. Dk is a good shout for your singedalike, I'd also suggest witch doc as a sideline support.

More important than which heroes you liked playing is what about them and why you liked playing.

This is a nice guide on warding, read it sometime ago, helped a lot. Spend some time reading it or just looking on the map that is provided, it should be enough.

Link to the guide section of playdota really should be somewhere in the OP. It's really well done, easy to browse and guides with rating above 9 are always top quality.

I assume that since you're coming from LoL and the fact that you're asking that you have little knowledge about dota heros. So rather than choosing specific heroes, I think playing random would really help getting to know majority of the heroes well.

Yes, knowing everything would help. So would spending 4-5 hours in single player, docking about with each and every hero to understand their skills.

That's not going to happen. It's what everyone *should* do to start, but nobody ever does. Hell, sometimes I don't even do it for new heroes, and that's one hero, not 100+

Playing the game in a role youre like to be (sort of) comfortable with is a decent start, then when you get your arse handed to you on a platter by something you don't recOgnise, at least you have a base to start from. Hence why I asked what he liked about the champs in question.

When and why do you pick that hero in competetive DotA?


It's an awesome hero. I remember a Puck, SS & Balanar gank squad that basically anihilated top teams.

simple question, is there a votekick?
or any ingame commands?

No there isn't. There is pause and in the scoreboard you can commend/report, view steam profile and mute people. Mute is good since it keeps it between games, so you mute a person once and he/she stays muted.

Democracy is not the way to go in dota games, that's why i'll never support voting in dota2.

nope, people who disconnect are given control after 5 minutes as far as I know, and items are greyed out if you try to use them, so as far as I know there are 0 ways of taking items of people who don't play anymore
