Gonna be playing tonight, any noob-friendly int characters to get started on? plague rider (lich) for sure, but he isn't on the free hero list anymore. both witch slayer (lion) and voodoo jester (witch doctor) are on this week's free hero list and they are quite simple. | ||

The stun needs to be timed well to be useful, it can swing a team fight hugely if no creeps are around. Cursed ground is super short range with a long cast time, it takes a lot of practice to land on moving targets. Using the ult properly is really complex - it has probably the highest dps out of any spell for the majority of the game. However, placed poorly it hits no one, or gets stunned instantly. And even placed properly it may not hit anyone - just because it hits no one doesn't mean that it's a useless ult - it prevents your opponents from walking through that area, and this control of an area is very useful in a teamfight. Of course, mojo is ridiculously easy to use. Heal heal heal. Also note that a VJ/WD with bkb is ridiculous for teamfights, but outside of this I've never really seen the point in any farm on him at all.. (Shroud is silly when bkb is only 6-700 more). Sotm is decent too, but if it's to the point where bkb + sotm is on the vj the game is probably an hour or two long. | ||

Witch slayer is easily easier than vd. You've got two disables, a spell that gets you mana back, and an ulti that simply does a fuckton of damage. Easy as. | ||

Easy as. ye i know right, maledict in hon has a small delay when casting it. the gf told me the other day >_> best entry hero in hon - if you are from dota you shouldnt have any problem to use the dota heroes (most of they are the exact same); for complete newbie i'd say int=plague rider, agi = moonqueen, str = magmus. you will learn to manage your regen/mana pool and how to engage enemies from these heroes. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fwxLY.jpg) First dota 2 screenshots  UI looks pretty clean. not "bright" or appleish. more like generic steam colors etc THe ingame UI is pretty minimal, and seems reduced heavily from hon/lol default size. Anyway the rest + cool bootcamp life photos at http://mithesports.com/?p=1380&album=6&gallery=34 | ||

The one who would leak such info would lose more than gain. In any circumstance. | ||
