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
Ever wanted to make some high-IQ plays in DOTA 2 with an Intelligence hero that’s easier to use than Invoker? Then Puck will be gentler towards you. He’s one of the most buffed heroes in the most recent update for DOTA 2, making him an exciting pick in the current m
That shouldn’t be the case, right? There should be no better time to be a gamer from a low income household. My sister has been able to play so much more than me due to the rise of the free-to-play model, with hits of all types like Fortnite , Apex Legends and Rocket League . Most of us would have killed to have access to so many titles and continuously receive updates, rather than have to wait for Christmas and birthdays (if we were lucky) to get a new game to play t
Lina, the Slayer, has gone far as one of the most standard DPS mages in the DOTA franchise. She remains the same pyromaniac who can nuke the battlefield several times over and is thus an in-demand hero in the current m

Over the years, while Valve has made several attempts to make Dota 2 more beginner friendly, most ended up ineffective. The biggest problem was that there was no in-depth tutorial for newcomers to follow. Despite its complex mechanics, the in-game tutorial was underwhelming in design and as a result, newcomers would often learn to play through online videos or through their experienced friends. However, another problem in Dota 2 emerged with its poor matchmaking system . Once newcomers had learned the basics and played some bot games, they would finally queue in an actual 5v5 environm
No hero makes players want to pull the plug like an enemy Clinkz. This guy has been devastating heroes since back in the original Dota and nothing has changed. The upcoming documentary on Netflix might very well feature Clinkz as the story of the game really can’t be told without
This pairing, accentuated by the aureate lighting, astral Projection Strategy not only speaks to the aristocratic nature of the Crownguard family but also the trials and tribulations of siblings diametrically opposed—a mage in a kingdom that persecutes magic and a brother that has sworn to uphold said persecuti
The entire goal of the game for opposing teams is to stop this hero from getting a Blink Dagger. If they can’t, then it’s only a matter of time before a Black Hole hits the entire team. Those smart enough to stay apart become easy fodder for Enigma’s friendly carr
Dota 2 itself also received a number of changes to its matchmaking system to create a better experience for newcomers. An all new game mode called the New Player Mode was introduced to the game which features a smaller hero pool that allows players to learn the basics without encountering new spells or heroes every game. This game mode also ensures that new players will only match with new players and allows them to leave at any point in the game, replacing them with a bot if they do
