Hello and welcome to DOTA 2! Sequel to Defense of the Ancients: All-Stars, DOTA 2 has a prime lineage of moba awesomeness.

"What is DOTA?", you ask, eyes filled with tentative wonder. Well...



DOTA is a fast paced strategy action game....thing. You kill dudes, get gold, gain exp, all so you can kill more dudes with the eventual goal of killing your opponents Ancient and winning the game.

Here's a guide so I don't have to regurgitate shit and make this op a billion pages long:

Read that shit again and again and again.

"How do I partake in this amazing fest of carnage and racial slurs and unintelligible nerds yelling at each other?"

Well, the game is in closed beta, so you either buy in or wait for the eventual free to play launch.

"Valve? I BET THERE ARE A MILLION HATS AND STUPID SHIT LIKE THAT"

Sure, but unlike another valve game *cough* most of the cosmetic shit fits the style of the game and NONE of it has any gameplay effect.

Good competitive match videos:

[Chozo]

Probably the best way to lose 40 minute chunks of your life while being completely focused on a game where 10 players throw racial slurs at each-other.

Any flaming with regards to dota vs hon vs LoL will be infracted on sight.

I'm here stuck with asians that always pick a carry so 4 carries in 1 team is so fucking huge play.
Also, check out Dotacinema Sven has a large penis.

I also have it, and play it occasionally. You have to fix something there, DOTA isn't fast paced, at least in comparison to HoN(which is still a better game in my opinion).

I don't like DoTA 2 that much, the visuals and animations make me feel dizzy and give me a headache. That's the only reason I stopped playing so I didn't get far.

I have only one question.


Is Dark Seer still shits and giggles hilarious chaos when he ults?

If he catches a team inside his wall, absolutely.

[Blam]
