DotA 2 General

[MrFrog90]

So, there's three new heros coming to dota 2. What do you guys think of them?

Nyx Assassin

Ezalor the Keeper of the Light

Visage the Necro'lic

There's always "new" heroes coming out in dota2. They emphasized "new" because these heroes are already on dotA, and i played them so much already. It's not like it's a fresh hero where everyone will experiment with various skill builds. With that said, I like all 3 heroes, and all heroes already made, and all heroes to come.

I know that. I hesitated to say "new" for that reason. But regardless, they do look very interesting. Nyx looks tough to play against, if the guy knows what he's doing.

Lol. Early gem = useless nyx assassin.

I'm more concerned with the reflection of damage. An Ulti nuke could be reversed :O

 

[MrFrog90]

I'm more concerned with the mana burn.

EDIT: After getting dagon, this hero 100% solo kills anyone with low hp and high int, unless you have detection. Hence, early gem counters nyx.

For those of you who don't know who Team Liquid is, they are a very active competitive Starcraft website, with awesome forums and live streams.

And now, They are adding DotA 2 to their website!!
Here is the DotA 2 Liquipedia, possibly the best wiki of all time.

I'm interested in seeing what kind of team they can put together.

So this latest patch had some of the funniest bugs I've ever seen.

Anyone else enjoying Diretide? I've gotten a rare Omni hood so far so I'm happy. I heard it goes to mid November. I'm excited to keep playing.

Alright, just DL it and started playing. Someone teach me.

 

[MrFrog90]

DotA is a game where you will be shouted at a lot before you get good. You will be hearing lots of nasty ugly things. Don't get discouraged by these game spoilers, they are probably as bad as you are. Try playing with bots before joining public games. Watch videos on tutorials and stuff, not pro games, those don't really explain the technicalities of the gameplay. Just "Wow! Massive Blackholes!!!!"
Some youtube channels that you can watch are:

Good luck at being shouted at.

Purge's guide pretty much covers it all.

You're Asian though, so you've already got a headstart.

Btw, Diretide is a completely new and (probably) imbalanced game mode, I suggest you don't play it for now since it might mess up with how you learn the mechanics.

Can anyone teach me how to play Tidehunter?
