DOTA 2 for Dummies : Top 5 things you need to know
So now you decided to play DOTA 2 now? Whether what is your reason for playing, here are the TOP 10 list you need to know before starting your dota 2 experience.
1. MOBA GAMEPLAY
DOTA 2 stands for Defence of The Ancient 2 coming from Warcraft roster hero, it is a MOBA(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) gameplay of games. Meaning, is you only need to control one character(but somethings more than one). You need to level up, gain gold, buy items and do some ninja moves to finish the game haha no just kidding. The Goal of the game is destroy the opposite team main tower not to have more kill than the other team. "OBJECTIVE GAMING" guys focus on tower. |

2. FACTION AND MAP
DOTA 2 has two faction : Radiant(the good dudes?) and Dire(bad guys?) . Maps in DOTA 2 has 3 lanes Top, Middle, Buttom.
You need to chose what faction you wanna be, good dudes or the baddas guys then go the lane that sometimes, again sometimes designated to your hero.
"Heroes are the essential key element of Dota 2, as the course of the game is dependent on their intervension. During a match, two opposing teams select 5 heroes that accumulate experience and gold."
Currently, Dota 2 has 112 playable hero, see Table of Heroes.
Heroes are divided in 3 categories: Strength(37 heroes), Agility(35 heroes) and Intelligent (40 heroes)
Strength Hero, they are the tanker, frontline hero of the game but do little damage.
Agility Hero, Sometimes useless in early game but in later game they are the damage dealer but in downside squishy hero.
Intelligent Hero, Burst damage dealer, I mean this heroes can kill you in instant but also to squishy.
4. KNOW YOUR HERO ROLES
Hero Roles is what makes Dota 2 more complex. Roles comes from the combination of hero Attribute, Skills and Items. One can have multiple roles and some can extremely become so powerful and useful in single role base on their attributes.
This is my list and commonly role in Dota 2.
HARD CARRY
SEMI CARRY/OFFLANER
- They are the hero that can solo a suicide lane.
GANKER
- "Combo skill and your dead". With exact skill and some ninja skill, you will lead the game to sweet victory.
ROAMER SUPPORT
- This are the mobile hero and has skill that can prevent enemy hero to not move (STUN) or not to cast spell(SILENCE). Your key role is help teammate to get kills.
HARD SUPPORT
- "every successful CARRY there is a SUPPORT", yeah you got it right. They are the true key success of the game but everybody hate this role. Well you can't blame them, this role is sure boring you just need to but supporting item to your babies and you must be willing to die in able to save your teammates
