DotA 2 - the ultimate thread
« on: October 08, 2013, 03:06:13 am »



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I get access to Dota 2?

Dota 2 is free to play. Just install it on Steam!

What is it all about?

Dota 2 is a competitive game of action and strategy, played both professionally and casually by millions of passionate fans worldwide. Players pick from a pool of over a hundred heroes, forming two teams of five players.

I am a new player, what now?

I recommend reading Purge's guide. - Welcome to Dota, you suck.

If you want to watch video instead, here is one that will hopefully get you playing Dota in 4 minutes. - How to play Dota in 4 minutes

Muuuuuch better. Good job Aenri.

I won't join the tourney this time. Mirror matches still piss me off way too much.

YES! Much better indeed. All the links quickly available. Don't forget to add the link to the Dota 2 steam group:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/DF-Dota

I'll create a reminder in the group some time later for the Bay12 weekly Dota 2 lobbies.

Please migrate into it. I will ask Toady to lock this one down.

Ummmm, what? You made a 1v1 tournament thread and are asking the general Dota 2 thread to be closed down?

No I made a new general Dota 2 thread, with better OP and 1v1 tournament posts.

Oh sorry, the title misled me. I thought this was exclusively about the 1v1 tournament.

The tournament should probably have it's own thread though. The posts about that aren't that much interest for anyone not participating. Also, you should probably rather ask Nilocy to close his Dota 2 thread instead of Toady. I hear that is not possible anymore, nevermind.

Sorry I came out a bit harsh, I do welcome a better Dota 2 thread with updating titles and stuff, I just had a knee jerk reaction to closing down the old one.

So, I just finished my match with Barbarossa(AKA Tyrannosaurus Axe) winning 2-1.
We played Templar Assassin/Axe and then Shadow Fiend to finish the tie.

I won TA, he won Axe, I won shadowfiend.

I'm so sad haha.

Got a random draft game and I got Nature's Profit. Was like "Yaaay! I never get Profit!".

Enemy team goes...

Ursa, Puck, Queen of Pain, and Maapo.

=|

Worst game of my life.

You think you're not lucky but you are! I'm sick of getting NP. Every time I play Random Draft he appears and since I hate so much playing against him, I choose him myself...

As for the 5v5 lobby game this Friday, it should be occurring about 41 hours from now. (Feel free to link that in a more visible post.)

I might show up but I'll have Disgaea D2 so yeah I'll most likely be dead for a few weeks or so.

Do I post here, or the other thread, for non 1v1 or other turny dota things, like, asking what the longest game people have had is.
