![Dota 2 Beginners Guide [Episode #1: How to play Dota 2]](/img/n.gif)
FINALLY, SOMETHING THAT CAN MAKE MANY PEOPLE START PLAYING DOTA INSTEAD OF QUITTING!
i see what u did there
I think its the other way around haha this guide makes newer player not try it. Look most people watch this videos are people that plays dota.
@@yoink9148 yes
they will quit again if their mentality cant handle the trashtalkers....oh wait, thats only at Sea server, but you dont care
if u cant beat them join them )
Wow I got so used to playing Dota that i forgot how hard and complex it is for newer players
Yeah man we do as well
Same. That's why I'm very open to invite and tutor new players who wants to play it. I just want friends to play with like in the old days... :(
Me too man
@@jeaneljaylamputi2215 oh, did your friends leave Dota?
@@forvafor well, most of them did, and plenty of them are busy with life so I can't blame them. I'm just missing the past stuff we usually do during college.
Me: played dota 2 for 7 years,
Also me: interesting.
Even true masters need to practice
This is so relatable
@@necronlord8013 true herald master with 7 years of experience. True story
@@lolwhatever7307 you have the same problem as mine... But still the important thing, this game make you swear better than anyone else.. lol
2006 .... here
There are videos that explain the simplest 5 tips in half an hour, just rambling and making you frustrated. You took very essential tips, put them in 12 minutes, and somehow made it feel like 1 minute. I learned so much, and I honestly didn't understand where time went. Great job, mate, and thank you for all the information!
it doesnt feel like 1 minute
@@saramorin4792 agreed. It's a really dense video, for better and worse. lol
I actually just downloaded Dota 2. Have never tried this or Dota before but I just heard how complicated this was compared to LoL. After watching ur vid, still looks insanely complex, but really appreciate you making this and highlighting the things you do and don’t need to focus on as a beginner. Nice job man !
fact: more dota 2 players watched this than actual players who want to learn the game.
Ahahaha, true
but we dont care
You just wanna learn something new and take advantages of it ingame.
@@jashtylouisecerbo8216 but most if not all decent dota 2 players know this, but yeah there are some knowledge to be picked up.
@@stixsenpai5247 yeah pretty much. I'm just sad cause I cant play atm. I have no PC and it's still quarantine in my place.
As a league player my head almost exploded from the amount of complexity. I can see similarities between the games like some of those runes being like red and blue buff but the whole high ground thing, being able to kill your own creeps, and a hidden shop outside of base blew my mind
right?? its insane
Then you have aghanim item, which basically give your hero 2 new skills
Oh wait did i mention about "talent tree", now you have another 6 options to customize your hero
@@bacphan7582 GOD i see why Dota players come to LOL for relax
@@ayobruce8211 I've been playind dota for years and picked up league 2 years ago cause some new friends play that over Dota. I can definitely say that that macro side is much easier on league. However the jukes are completely different for each game imo. Also instant turn rate was cancer to me in lol when I started. I think my biggest complaint for lol coming from Dota is how insane the scaling is and how extremely one sided some matches can be to the point of you basically being obsolete in lane if the kill you once. I'm curious to here (if you're a league player) what your biggest complaint would be for Dota 2. If there was one thing i would bring to league though it would be the ability to pump fake your spells with your stop key (ones with animations at least not instant ones like leblancs leap skill or whatever it is XD)
As someone who recently learned Hearts of Iron 4, this game is as simple as a wrecked tiger barrel.
I'm not even good at league still I'm here burning my last 3 brain cells to learn this game😭
You want someone to coach you? I have 7000+ hours of in game exp. I still learn something new every now and then.
Good luck with the learning and i hope you find dota 2 enjoyable once you get the hang of it! :))
Most DotA players I know suck at League too, it's okay. DotA gets too much credit for being complex, but it really isn't. There's just a few extra things you need to keep in mind.
@@antemedon Like how to counter their techies with adequate positioning and outplays, magic damage resist auras and bkb, not pushing towers straight on but at an angle, strategic ward placement and sentries and when to get rid of those mines at secret at the best time. This is for 1 hero, not counting their team or your team much and the fact that all of that isn't free. It takes time and money.
I think your statement isn't true for these reasons,
but if you take small bites,
you can eat up all the information.
And yes it's true I'm dogshit at LoL.
@@klemenvidmar6307 @Klemen Vidmar see, most DotA players haven't played League long enough to even care to comprehend how similar both games are. I'm a veteran DotA 1 player who switched to league later, so I know how legit my assumptions are. We have teemo who's pretty similar to techies, so all that applies here too. Towers in DotA are dogshit. They're slow af and extremely easy to kill. You can't solo a turret in League because their defences skyrocket when minions aren't around. We have wards too, and wards to counter wards. 50% of every marksman's role in League is about positioning because they always get targetted first. DotA matches are pure chaos because every hero is trying to outplay every other hero. League has synergy. The only real differences in league and DotA are the elevation advantages, the ability to remove trees for strategic movement, denying creeps, the secret shop and a courier. League relies on teamwork and balanced out teams way more than DotA. League is also far more flexible because you can decide to play a physical damage champ as an ability damage one, or a tank as a nuker ane get away with it, DotA champs progress in a far more linear way. Agility heroes are the only ones who usually build attack speed, strength heroes are usually the only ones with a lot of health, etc etc.
Wow! I was wondering whether to start playing DotA or LOL now I've made up my mind. I really love the depth, intensity and complexity of the game mechanics.

dont forget to mute annoying nerd
GLHF. and like what has been said above, don't forget to mute people. Like seriously, just mute them if your teammates get annoying.
Trashtalk is part of dota since ancient times. So dont mute!🤣
AWWWW BUT DONT MUTE ME THOUGH!! I WILL ALWAYS BE SAYING HI TO YOU!!! CYKA BLYAT!!!!

There are some important aspects that has to be taught to league players.
The most important thing that isn't taught in many guides is healing.
In league, if you get low, you have a 8 second recall and you spend the next 30 seconds walking back to lane. Doing so in league will not incur any penalties if one crashes the creep wave under the opponents tower to reset the wave.
However, in dota, there is a courier system that enables people to ship regen items like salves, mangos, clarities and tangos. Therefore in most scenarios during the laning phase, dota heroes do not need to go back to base in most cases.
But league players are bound by the mentality that if one needs to heal, one has to go back to base. This mentality screws up the play style and makes league players look like complete bots when they start dota.
The next important thing that isn't taught to league players is the concept of dying.
There is a large stigma to dying for league players. If you die, your opponent gains 300 gold, gains a free wave 120 gold and denies your wave (120 gold for you), making one death worth roughly 500 gold and lots of xp, enabling a lane to snowball out of hand.
However, in dota, dying is not all that bad except for the pos 1 and pos 2. Supports can go super aggressive so as to draw pressure from the opponent so as to let their carries farm safely. The penalty of death is not as huge as it is in league as long as the pos 3-5s can waste their opponent's time.
League players enter this game playing very safe, believing that their lives are very precious and blaming any other people with a high death count that is drawing pressure. This safe play means that league players end up doing nothing for the team.
The last important thing that is not taught to league players are the roles. In league, roles are simple, top lane, you play tank, jungle, you play ganker, all you have to do is to outplay your opponent and stomp your lane to win.
But in dota, different positions have different game plans. It's not just about stomping your opponent in lane. But this concept is never explained to league players.
League players end up playing offlane safely so that they can scale like what they do in league. League players play support by harassing opponent in lane like what they do in league and end up soaking xp without pulling/stacking. League players end up joining in lots of fights playing safe lane carry because that is what they do in league.
League players are essentially screwed when they play dota because they play dota like they play league. Most guides just ignore the basics of basics simply because they think it's so self-explanatory. No it isn't - especially for players that have developed habits from other games.
Underrated comment. I play many type of moba game and some game need different mental play.
Can't agree more
Another one is that rax's don't respawn, a small one, but it'll definitely throw league players off at first, also that "super" creeps give less gold (and i think less xp? I'm newly returning so idk what's changed in it's entirety)
"There's a large stigma to dying" LMAO League is full of feeders.
Don't know anything about Dota but it seem like very fun since you can play however and whatever you want.

For anyone stumbling upon this vid now. Dota 2 now has a much better tutorial for new users that actually teaches you how to play the game. The video does clear up a lot of things though and is a very good source of information
This is a godsend. I've wanted to get into Dota for awhile, but every guide is really long and tries to explain every little thing, drowning the important things for a new player to know in tediousness. Being able to watch this video and learn only what I need to know to start playing without feeling overwhelmed is exactly what I needed
datohleong: there's zero jungle role
sea players: hold my tango
typical sea server 😂
Sea players share tangos?
He means no standard jungle hero bro so we sea players can still play afk
more like hand ur tango XD
More like: "give me tango"
I just started playing the game. My first 2 heroes were support.. 2 dragon head thing and the litch both were very interesting.. I'm honestly surprising the depth of litch abilities after 1 match I found he's like super buffer with an op sheild ability
That two head man is Ogre so good
@@waduheck7860 he said dragon, si probably jakiro
@@parkjinggoy152 oh yes my bad
@@waduheck7860 LOL
My first hero was also double dragon, you can also try summon golem thing and summon death ward thing
The video showed me how complicated this game is, and it helped me make up my mind to just stay in league
But you can play both
I like how simple you made the game sound lol, the whole "you don't care" just takes away all the nerves i had before downloading the game. I played Dota back in the day then onto to League for the past 10 yrs. Thought i would suck trying out Dota 2 since i found Dota mechanics difficult but after watching this, I really don't care whether i suck or not, just gonna jump in and see what happens.
How is your current dota 2 experience?
If you don't mind me asking...
This is the comment I agreed the most
ikr ... "This that this that ... You don't care!" :) Very good video though .
How did it go ? still playing?
Great experience so far, I found a group of friends to play with every weekend. Can't say i'm really good at the game but I am having fun
Him: Pick a low complexity hero
Also him: *Demos invoker*
Yeah, but you dont care
man i actually remember when invoker hes ult didnt have a cooldown when i was a brat i watch who's elder to me playing dota 2 when they play invo i always look to there finger doing combo in clash
Dota is so much fun if you have a friend who you want to catch up to. I started playing cause my friends invited me. It was honestly so much fun to learn, whenever i figured out a new mechanics id try to get it down as quickly as possible. Sadly now if i play dota it takes too much of my time so i just chill playing leauge and valorant.
Finally, I found a guide that makes sense! As a league player I've wanted to get into doda for a while now. Thank you so much for this guide!

Main differences to look out for in Dota as a beginner coming from LoL:
1. You have to buy Teleport consumables in Dota. Everyone can (and must) buy TP. In more skilled brackets, players will TP to protect their teammates from dives and their towers from split pushers, so keep that in mind.
2. You don't turn instantly when moving in the opposite direction as you are facing. There is a short delay called a 'turn rate'.
3. You can kill your own team's creeps, denying the enemy gold and experience. You can only do this with auto attacks, and only when the creep is below 50% HP.
4. There are lots of point-and-click CC and burst abilities, so don't rely on your skillshot dodging skills from LoL to outplay enemies.
5. You cannot recall to base. You can, however, TP to your fountain by using the consumable TP item.
6. You lose gold when you die.
7. You don't have to be near shop to buy items. When you're away, the items will be put into your "stash" and can be retrieved either personally or using a Courier.
8. You don't have Runes, Summoner Spells or Trinkets.
9. If you have enough gold, you can "buyback" and respawn at base. Use this only when you absolutely have to, as buyback has a long cooldown and part of your remaining death timer gets carried over to your next death.
10. Jungle camps do not have respawn timers. They spawn at every minute mark, but only if there are no units in their camp at the time. You can use this to "block" jungle camps from spawning. You can also "stack" camps by pulling the creeps out of the camp zone as the timer is about to hit the next minute mark.
11. There are no Red, Blue, Dragon or Baron buffs. The Baron of the map, Roshan, drops an item called Aegis (similar to how Eye of the Herald is dropped from Rift Herald) that when picked up gives you a stronger Guardian Angel revive effect for 5 minutes, but takes up an inventory slot. Keep in mind that no matter who kills Roshan, anyone can pick up the Aegis.
12. You can divert tower aggro by attack-clicking an allied unit in the tower's range. You don't have to actually perform the attack though.
13. Mechanics and abilities that would be considered OP, unbalanced, anti-fun and game breaking in LoL are commonplace in Dota. Whether or not this is a good thing is up to you.
@Madifuho, Dota is A LOT more strategical game than LOL. Only the highground system brings a lot, because, using it, you can win fight even if enemy dominate you. Supports are not just harrassment tools, they have to control runes, stack and pull creeps so enemy gets no gold and exp and you dont push lane, and with the new 7.33 supports also control lotuses for a good hp and mana regen, and control wisdom runes for ex (cus good supports traditionally lack 1-3 lvls comparing to cores), with a new teleport so enemy dont gank you. Also supports have to bring utilities to core hero, possibly being their personal courrier, ganking allies of you won your lane. Supports must place vision all over the map, and break enemy's vision. Supports have to do everything so their core hero survives and enemy core goes to fight with jungle creeps. Abd it is only laning stage for one of 5 positions.
I agree, in micro moments LOL is harder cus most skills are not simple point-and-click, and DOTA has, i think, only 1/3 skills requiring aim. But learning how to hit a skill is much easier than learning all macro mechanics in DOTA. Even with 200 hours as this pos 5 support I explained before, you can easily forget about stacking or pulling because it is really hard to remember all.
@madifuho6688…
@madifuho6688the hard part of dota is using ur brain tbh
@@frosten5746 DOTA sounds like it's more my speed than League even though I played League for a few years (downloading DOTA now).
However, I disagree with the general statement "learning how to hit a skill is much easier than learning all macro mechanics in DOTA".
At least for someone like me, building habits to the maximize use of the macro mechanics you've described in DOTA sounds a lot easier because you can research, analyze games, and then take a systematic approach to help you form the habits.
But the micro mechanics in League, particularly the skill shots seem to only be something you can learn by baptism of fire because there's no reliable way to practice and there's virtually no way to transfer knowledge or skill from one player to another.
@@xitaris5981 its very much individual, as for me learning skillshots took about 40 hours.
No one:
DATOHLEONG: Yea, that's cool. But you don't care.

Funny but he dont care
Настолько прекрасно описал минимальные знания о доте. Я в шоке, сколько нужно знать новичку. Я это уже прошел, но до сих пор дота сложная и поэтому интересная игра. Спасибо за твои видео.
hey man, much love from Malaysia.
Havent touched this game for 6 years, and recently got back to it. Was so active last time during DOTA 1. This tutorial really did help out on dusting out the rust. just need to update myself on builds and items. Really nervous to get back into online tbh. Its such a weird feeling
I hope you have lots of fun playing dota again. It's really cool to see Dota 1 veterans coming back to Dota. What heroes do you usually play?
the funny thing about this is, every mechanics you covered could instantly change in one update ahahahha
That is why he said "YOU DON'T CARE" hahaha.
Yeah in every major update anually
most of the mechanics he's explained have been around since dota mod, I'd say they're all pretty basic concepts. sure some things might change a little but most of it is pretty core concepts.
@@tonkahanah5890 every major patch feels like a new game to play
TONKAHANAH the single thing that didn't change for 8 years is damage types (since they deleted mixed damage), but other mechanics....
This game is so convoluted. How could they think to not make a functional new player experience? Or competent video series at least? This video truly was the best starter guide for newbies.
Purge has the best in depth guide
Cause dota was: Play against bots with bots for hundreds of hours. Play against bots with humans for a couple hundreds of hours more. Que game vs other humans.
Worst than that, dota 2 has the WORST matchmaking in the world. I've only played like 5 matches and I was queued with people who plays the game since the day they were born
@@joaopassos3625 so basically 8 year olds?
@@joaopassos3625 its not the matchmaking thats the problem, its the lack of new players thats the problem
Im a league of legends player and i just started playing dota 2days ago, thought this game was gonna be more like league but no 💀. It is very hard to learn, but trying to learn the game is what's fun about it. I like playing viper now, he looks very cool, and can carry :Dd hope i get to learn this game more. Thanks for the vid man :))
Viper looks cool, but invoker looks cooler 😎
Cancer viper. Pusseh hero
just enjoy the game. everyone is carry at some point in the beginners game. as you play alot in unranked you will be matched by more experience (as well as trashtalkers) that will make you analyze the mechanics of the game more.
GLHF / GGWP.
[as of the moment, i enjoy playing "Drow Ranger", "Earthshaker", & "Phantom Lancer" especially in mid-game ganking]
Returned to dota a few months ago after 9 yrs of not playing (just watching vids). Only hero I can play properly now is Viper coz he's so simple
Thanks for mentioning high lvl mechanics and telling people not to worry, I’m a league player but I’ve been too afraid to try DOTA because I don’t want to learn so much all at once, the repetitive “you don’t care” really helps with that
2k: Wait you can contest objectives? I thought Roshan is only if you run out of ideas at 40 mins.
Lmao
Funny, true and sad at the same time
I always forgot i can take rosh on 20 mins as a Tb
Nowadays 2k players got some brain cells but some got waaaaay to many brain cells and decided to rosh when it's only 15 mins in
You can actually Rosh at 13 min with Ursa
The whole game - “you don’t care”.
I CARE TOO MUCH *feeds into highground*

My first in depth dota guide and its unlike anything I've seen in other mobas
I was addicted to LoL and managed to quit on March this year (2020). To be honest , Dota 2 is way too complicated compared to LoL which I just found out the mechanics i never knew before such as creeps pulling, camps stacking, and many more. And these things made this game more versatile and creative. And thank god, within these mechanics, they helped me to get through Legend 3 recently and I recommend for LoL players to try out this game for once.
wtf u got legend 3 im still stuck at crusador 4
Yup true. I played DoTA for about 6 years, and I tried playing LoL for new experience. LoL is more like Mobile Legend, you need to purchase champions to play them. New champions are too OP and the game is not balanced at all. DoTA is different thou, all heroes are free, u can just try using them in practice or lobby and get to know them better. DoTA is quite difficult at first, but after hours of playing and seeing different style of play, u can become better.
@J Nc its sdage bro u need to givbe me a tear atleast
@@mohamadikhwan4393 So true!!!
For me, LOL = Mobile Legends and DotA 2 = Vain Glory (mobile version).
And btw I hate ML fck ml and fck mobile gaming. I didnot meant that seriously, some are good tho.
Damn March to September and uve already reached legend 3 man
The patience taken to make this video is actually inspiring I tried to get my friends to play dota and it was always challenging yet fun next time I'll just share this video lol
Hi! I just downloaded DOTA 2 a few hours ago. This is my first time playing a game with a birds eye view so there’s def a lot I have to learn, so thank you for the video. I’ll take what you’ve said and try my best to apply it :D
After I hopefully achieve my goals for League I'll probably drop it for a while to re-learn DOTA again. I do miss the game very much but the last time I actually played a game of DOTA was over a decade ago lol. Guides like yours will be super helpful when I re-assimilate myself back in the DOTA space again. Kinda excited ngl.
I would have added to the "every hero is op" part that every hero also has weaknesses, and items can patch those weaknesses to make heroes more powerful that goes beyond just giving damage or tank.
Every hero is op once you smurf hehe
cm is the only one that is balanced
He did say that, just in different words.
At least that's how I understood it as I'm listening to this video and downloading DOTA for the first time at the same time
who agrees this is better than dota's beginner sniper tutorial :/
But hey at least it will give you his cape
its been updated now but i do agree, that tutorial was really bad.
Such a great video! Easy to understand and straight to the point. Also, you speak English with greater proficiency than most native English speakers that I know. Thank you so much - Liked and Subbed.
As a league player, not much experienced with it(6-7 months), i think it's seen more challenging and confusing at same time. I think it would take time to get used to some things like playing to get objectives with a new playstyle and itemization(seem more interesting than lol). btw I really liked the wave control.
how to enjoy learning dota:
step 1 mute teammates voice and chat
This is wrong. Most ppl can not communicate because they don’t know how to effectively communicate with teammates. I won so many games just because I keep telling my team what is my next step, ask core when they feel comfortable engaging, and telling people where could be a good place to play. Toxicity drops a lot if you can make reasonable proposals to get other people on board with your strategy.
Same
@@davidnnn6986 in herald-crusader rank, muting your teammates is a necessity otherwise you'll lose your sanity.
TRUE
@@davidnnn6986 I have no idea which games have you been playing - but in my DotA games, noone listens to a word said - with that said, 99% of the chat is something totally unecessary, if not negative and toxic - When I started playing with my chat mutted, the quality of my games rose up to about 250-350% percent. I was literally playing with the same toxic people, but since I wasn't listening to their whinning it was so much easier for me to concentrate and know what to do next.

I'm downloading it right now, It'll be my first time playing after all these years of playing League.. Thank you for the tips
When I started years ago the best tip I ever got was how to use the guides. Items are complicated but guides makes it to where you don’t have to worry about what items you should be buying
Very Good guide, aware of the most important things new players needed to learn
I didnt feel overwhelmed, you went straight to the point. Excellent video.
Great video! It's great to be told what not to care about when you are starting out so it's not as overwhelming.
I got completely overwhelmed trying to jump ship from league, but this all makes sense now. Starcraft Broodwar Moba with map objectives. Makes sense to me.

The summary could be more detail. There is an order to the objectives: safe lane tier 1, take enemy jungle, ward it, take mid tier 1, pressure safelane t2, take smart fights and set up for rosh, take rosh, use aegis to take enemy triangle, squeeze enemy off entire map, lock them in base, use aegis to hit hg, wait a bit, get 2nd aegis, win game.
I love the "you don't care" aspect of this video and I wish more tutorial video makers would do this instead of trying to overcomplicate or overwhelm viewers on what's meant to be a **beginner's** guide.
I think the most important thing for new players is to play with bots, increasing their difficulty from passive to unfair. You also can do it with team of other human beings.
And learn a little bit about settings, so you can adjust them to your personal preferences. Then watch guides about heroes and some streams (to learn how game will go with actual players), read items descriptions and try it in private lobby. Then you're good to go play actual pubs and not completely ruin your good mood because of toxic teammates screaming at your mistakes.
Anyways, this is just my perspective. Datohleong did a great job.
new drinking game:
get a shot of water (stay hydrated bois) everytime datohleaong says U DONT CARE
It's funny because I was thinking about downloading dota, but this video made me change my mind and probably saved quite the time for me haha
I quit last weekend playing this. Didn't even know how to return to base lol. This helped. Thanks :)
I'm a league player for six years now and I want to try out DOTA 2, actually installed it yesterday and played some with bots. This vid is actually educational and I'll probably start matching with other players as well after practicing.
Ya better if u start practice first with bots cuz if u play with others they will flame you so hard. So better practice with up to unfair bots
Keep practicing with bot until you can handle unfair bot man.. that will help you really hard, I'm sure about that, learn all post to know where the best place you are in.. btw welcome to Dota my friend..

my brain is too smooth for this. Also Im around 8 years into league and I never learned (and still dont care to learn) jungle
smooth
Same lmao
I wanted to understand more about Dota2 and chanced upon your video. I love it! Everytime you say just don’t care about it, I laugh 😂
DATOHLEONG, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
As a experienced LOL player that never tried D2, I'm thinking now how LOL looks like a simple game compared with this!
this is pretty good. whenever I explain basics to friends they are always dissappointed when I say "don't worry abt that yet" so this is rly useful at least for proving that such a thing is useful. the absolute state of new player experience lol
i love that "but you don't care." You're damn right sir! love the guide!
just started playing, and omg, thank you, your video was the best clear explanation to dota 2, but can you elaborate further in where do i click to preferred items and preferred skills to click. Thank you sir! i hope you create more videos related to tips and tricks
Just wanna say thanks to you man. Being a Dota 2 content creator will help the community grow which has been the game's problem for a very long time now.
me: i want to learn to play dota
datohleong: you dont care
thank you keep it up!
Thank you so much!
The number one difficulty for me playing dota has been identifying what is the priority right now. I have been watching alot of dota beginner guides to understand what is generally done to win the match. Also, being new I don't really understand when a fight starts, where a fight might break out and most importantly, what am i supposed to do when that happens and who am i targetting if i am in the fight with the opposing team. The new player mode that Dota recently brought in has been very helpful with teaching me new things however, at the same time it doesn't teach you everything and I also understand that comes with time. I guess I just want to learn everything all at once rather than in pieces and that really frustrates me. BUT I'm not gonna give up!
You will eventually learn that as you play more games, also you should try the Coaching mode
Just like everything s in this world. The more difficult a thing the more you will satisfy when you success to conquer it.
Just play a lot, when the times comes. Experience will tell you when to fight and whos worthy opponent to kill first.
If you're using int hero, build mana regen w/ bottle or tango. Agility hero, build damage with bottle or tango. Strength hero, build hp regen w/ bottle.
Also, don't forget to fill your bottles so you don't get one-shotted by mirana
Hello I wanna know what happened now.
Both League and Dota seem to share a lot of aspects but in a different way.Good Guide mate , helped me a lot.
it seems League prioritized lane matchups and mechanics and Dota is a knowledge check game where team comp and counters are commonplace and heavily relies on Macro... It is a very completely different game
League borrows a lot from dota cuz they came from there
@@ViperDivinitymatchups exist in dota as well. And more on game mechanics than specific hero 'fantasies'
very informative video thank you
BRO! you have the best catchphrase "you don't care" subed instantly LMAO!
Remember back in the day i started Dota2, my first think that i want to do was to play all heroes in the game, get to know how every single hero work. It was a long process (took me almost a year). i started with orge magi cause he was very funny
When Ogre dies he says
"Don't bury me next to him"
to his twin
Been playing dota since 2013 but just found out that u can transfer tower agro to teammate, wtf
Haha u not alone 😂😂
@@ingthearith7367 I too just found that you agro creeps....me legend4 ... 5 years experience XD ....feel so embarrased now...
Yeah I just learned it a months ago, that's why I'm wondering why pros does not get hit by the towers in tournaments haha
I just got it right now and I’m loving it
As a league player switching out, this got me laughing so hard :D Defo did give me good tips, thanks !
There are core hero and support hero
Sea servers: I don't care
I feel this in spiritual level
support hero play core hard carry 🤣🤣🤣
Support juggernaut, support PA 😆
I know how to support carry but not pure support..
Note: If you play in the SEA server, this guide does not apply.
only in low rank tho. once you get to the top this kind of players are rare.
below 6k MMR, yes.
This is the most sea. In sea you don't care
True
Yep, In SEA take Wk or LC and go jungle.
Thank you, very helpful ^-^
I love how many times he says "but you don't care", it is perfect!
I play PA hard support, I don’t care
Nani?!
instant low priority
I play anti mage hard support , I don't care 😂😂
REPORTED!!!
Spec hard support, ult and then give guardian greaves, pipe during ganks.
tldr : "just try from the simple things, but you don't care"
Once had a 5 hard carry team. Was fun,morph gyro is a nice lane combo also we lost
i was inspired to play Dota 2 after watching Ti7 and Ti8 Insight i wanna know why many people love this game, im going to be a first year college soon and i wanna try it whenever i have a free time im really glad ive found a video like this to atleast teach me some ingame mechanics.
1:37 Heroes that stop time
DarkTerror: ZA WARUDO!!
"if you care about anything i told you not to care about.... i have guides for that!" LMAO i love you and this guide is great
ive played league for two years i saw dota 2,s cool graphics and abilities and wanted to play this guide helped
7:51
datohleong: "it is always advantageous on the high ground"
me: obi wan was right
What? I don't understand
Always appreciate Star Wars reference
Highground advantage in combat was known in ancient times bro, like long before JESUS was even born
@@NoOne4k Okay but a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, a bearded monk with a laser sword cut of a whiney boys legs and yelled he loved him, all while standing a little bit higher on a mound of dirt than him.
Also you need to count how many times he said "You don't care" in order to play the game
Wow that was a very useful and rapid fire guide! I like it as I usually put these things on double speed to prevent getting bored but there was so much info coming so fast I didnt even need or want to speed it up. "dont care" Lol
Nice video :) made me want to try it out
10:01
New players: umm o okk (understands nothing)😂😂
Me in a nutshell
Take a shot everytime he said "you dont care"
Wtf vro you tryin to kill me or somethin?
So much change since I last played like 5 years ago I need this complete guide since I feel like a noob again.
Even tho this guide was 2 years old i really learned alot of handy stuff. i am totally new to dota but have played alot og league before. but this video was really good to get into dota 2
i legit want this video to get more attention.
