There’s no denying that DOTA 2 can be a toxic game and you don’t have to be experienced to know it. If you don’t have friends, then you usually end up getting paired with random people online and things can get verbally excessive especially if you’re new to the g
Sometimes you get to pull it off but most of the time, the tower ends up killing you. This is also a known tactic to bait eager players into being overconfident. It results in a rather embarrassing death that only serves to fuel the enemy’s gold depos
Turtle Rock Studios’ spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead has been delayed for five months. Back 4 Blood was originally scheduled to release on July 18, but Turtle Rock announced on Twitter this week that the game won’t be coming until October 12, 2
In the current DOTA 2 meta, Mars is typically considered the most powerful offlaner. His aggressive abilities make him a scourge on the battlefield and it would be folly to fight him solo or one-on-one. In addition to having a low-cooldown offensive skill, he also has numerous chances of knocking back enem
Knowing how to cut some losses in DOTA 2 or any other MOBA for that matter, is crucial to avoiding some nasty and debilitating deaths. Such deaths can come easy when you see a three or five-man push at one of your towers and you do an uncoordinated defense atte
5v5 clashes in a certain lane or while ambushing Roshan farmers can be exhausting but that doesn’t mean some rest is warranted. In many beginner and low-MMR games, the winning side tends to sit back passively and scatter or go about their business even after some impressive clash victories instead of pushing one lane and clearing the towers for some creep upgra
Rumors earlier this week claimed that the game would depict an alternate history in which World War II did not end in 1945. Though, according to Eurogamer , Vanguard will return to a “traditional WW2 setting,” rather than alternate history. Eurogamer has also reported that Vanguard is only a working title that will likely change before release. The new COD will come with a brand new Warzone map and bring the battle royale game mode with it just as Black Ops Cold War did previou
Yet another versatile Strength hero would be Karroch or Beastmaster. While many consider him an offlaner and sometimes even jungler, Beastmaster can push like nobody’s business and even make enemy heroes retreat from a lane due to his overwhelming mini

There’s a reason why League of Mobile Legends jungle is more popular than DOTA 2. DOTA 2 is a game of precision and mastery where mistakes get punished with a snowballing defeat and verbal expletives from your teammates (often the latter). The higher learning curve (and more elitist players) compared to other MOBAs make it rather intimidating especially for newb
Despite being one of the most popular esports games in the world, Dota 2 is also notorious for its complexity and steep learning curve . Newcomers are often overwhelmed by the fact that there are 120 heroes with unique spells interacting with hundreds of items, mechanics, and movements at any given time. As veteran players can attest to, it can take hundreds of hours of investment to understand the basics of the game. Furthermore, Dota 2 is an online multiplayer game where two teams of five face off to achieve victory. As a result, teamwork is an essential aspect of the game and toxicity can easily occur when players are grouped together for 40 minute matc
The Rearm skill refreshes the cooldown on both his skills and his items. So every time a powerful item is added to the game, Tinker will be able to abuse it. Unless players help gank him early, a flexible player will buy the perfect items to counter the enemy team and win by mid or late g
With the recent release of the new animated Dota 2 series on Netflix, Valve has finally acknowledged the barrier of entry and has overhauled the new player experience with tutorials, in-game tooltips, a coaching system, a new game mode, and more based on community feedback. Together with these new updates, Dota 2 sets a great example for other competitive games to make their newcomer experience more accessi
That’s why consumables like the Town Portal Scroll are valuable early on and even late or mid-game. If you’re in a lane, you’d want to stay there as much as possible. If not TP Scrolls then healing items are also a godsend when it comes to sticking to your lane. Your teammates will thank you for this kind of preparedn
Score is remembered as being one of the most loyal players KT Rolster has ever signed, spending almost 5 years of his professional career with the team. Score is one of the best Jungle players to have never won worlds. Alongside the likes of Ning, he performed an iconic role swap at the beginning of his professional car
