10 Bad Habits New Players Create When Starting DOTA 2 How To Avoid Them

It comes as no surprise that her popularity in-game as a marksman, paired with the femme fatale aesthetic of her design, has drawn attention from the cosplay community. Through their artistic efforts, the champion and all her iterations have been brought to life outside of the Ri


It's hard to say where the next big tournament will be located since Valve takes bids to make such determinations , but the city that hosts it won't change the core gameplay. And wards will be central to that gamep


The black leather of her outfit is accented by the stark white and flowing material on her wrists—seemingly the remains of a more prim and proper captain's overcoat. Although her posture is relaxed, this Miss Fortune seems ready to blast her way aboard should a fire-fight scenario ar


The pros never break their keyboards, scream at their allies, or toss their headphones. They stay composed and choose to learn after each defeat or battle gone wrong. Every rookie gets angry at the game, but the sooner this anger is quelled, the faster players learn true mast


While there are many support heroes in the game, there are very few true healers. Preventing damage or adding life affects the battle at its very core; the hero with life remaining at the end of the fight w


Do not auto-attack the creeps, only try to get last hits for the cash, since pushing into an enemy tower gives foes free and safe farming. And attack allied creeps when they are low on health to make it more likely the enemy pushes to where the player hero can casually gain gold and experie


Thankfully, MOBA Patch notes Dota 2 has been vigilant about getting rid of smurfs who abuse the matchmaking system , so it's more likely that players will be evenly matched in a lane. But it won't feel that way until learning how to manage the creep wa


Toxicity is an unfortunate part of the community because nobody wants to take responsibility for losing a game. It's easy to get caught up in the outrage and then get banned for a lengthy period of time after an outbur


The pot for Esports keeps getting bigger , so players that want a piece of the prize will need to pay attention to the heroes that are trending up and down. Look at heroes with high win rates and figure out how to both play with them and counter t


His passive and non-ultimate active skills are none too exciting. They're mostly there to reduce the enemy's damage output or stun them. However, the ultimate, Spell Steal can be quite a riot when used against a much more powerful enemy h


Undergoing quite the shift, Miss Fortune's trusty guns are transmogrified into large candles, though their burn is just as potent as any black powder. Pictured with Miss Fortune is her sister witch, Morgana, as cosplayed by @itami_liska. While Morgan's standard aesthetic is not a far cry from the occult, Miss Fortune's couldn't be more different, making the transformation even more impress


Don't let pride get in the way. If a support hero is falling behind on wards, buy them. Very little is more important than getting rid of the fog that clouds vision in Dota 2 ; even an extra second to run away from a gank is the difference between life and de

If it was a five-man push and they killed you alone then that already puts your whole team at a disadvantage in the event that they want to stop the onslaught because they're already outnumbered. Beyond that, each of your death contributes to the enemy's g


This makes for a three-person lane in the short lane (two if there is a jungler). No enemy hero can survive such a disadvantage early (except for Dark Seer himself). Factor in an ultimate ability that makes enemy heroes fight their own clones and he's become a favorite to have on the team at all levels of p


Limited holiday-themed skins are a hot commodity in the League of Legend's shop, and Bewitching Miss Fortune is a particular treat. @hana.cosplay brings the bounty-hunter-turned-witch to life, trading her pirate hat for something more coven-appropri


That's why doubling and tripling the number of creeps that it is possible to kill is so critical. Instead of going through and killing each set, by attacking one member and running away right before the timer spawns another group, the creeps will stack, increasing all that gold and experie


You can't find a more hardworking support hero than Ezalor, also known as the Keeper of the Light. This old man has been keeping his own team alive since back in the old days when DOTA was but a modded map for Warcraft III. Anyway, he remains as in-demand as e


@lena_osaki aims for the stars with her cosplay of Star Guardian Miss Fortune, a thematic homage to the genre of Magical Girls (e.g. Sailor Moon ). This version of Miss Fortune is a planetary defender and her pistols are redesigned to appear hyper-stylized and cartoon


Omniknight heals, grants immunity to spells, physical attacks, slows down opponents, and his heal also doubles as a powerful nuke. Best of all, he's a strength hero, so aiming the "squishy" support isn't an option for the en
