Video Game Chat / Re: Dota 2 and Dota 2 Related Shenanigans
« on: May 22, 2013, 05:25:12 PM »
Hey Godot,
I'm a new guy to this board, and don't really have anything to contribute.
A few months ago I tried to get into Dota 2. I had not played any MOBA game before, so it's all foreign to me.
I started with offline bots matches, and got obliterated. (the comps won for me, but I'm the lowest level out of everyone)
So I tried reading that guide. It was information overload for a newbie like me. I could only get up to the part about laning before stopping.
But it improved my offline game. (Not as underleveled as before)
And I thought, hey, why not try an online game against easy bots? Big mistake. We lost. And I haven't played since.
At one point in the game, people called out on me, but I didn't know what I did wrong. Looking back, maybe it's because I was minding my own business while everyone was ganking.
I've been playing Sven because I wanted to get used to the game mechanics before actually learning the heroes and items.
It's frustrating to go back to the guide as well as the videos made by the same person, because in all of these helpers, the author is already assuming you know the basic game mechanics. I feel like I'm bashing my head against a brick wall.
Now that I've whined enough, I was hoping you could give some pointers to smooth my transition into Dota 2.
I'll try to play again, but I feel like I'm at a Catch-22: I suck at the game because I didn't read the guides, and I can't understand the guide because I didn't play the game enough.
If there is a better way to learn this game, please let me know.
I'll take up on your offer to take on bots together. Learning with people is usually the best way.
My Steam is BlueDo. Hopefully we can get a time to do it together.
