Quick cast shows the targeting system if you use the 'on release option' instead of casting on button press. That's what I use so that I can be sure my spells are targeted correctly while eleminating the extra click.
I started yesterday and there is no force in this world strong enough to protect me from the death threats and general disdain for my entire existence I encountered lol
LMAO I totally feel you on people getting weirdly triggered when you tell them your camera settings. I can't stand having to throw my cursor to the corner of the screen just to pan the camera. I've used WASD ever since I started playing RTS games back in the day. Thanks for the awesome catch-up video. I haven't played Dota since Pit Lord/Underlord dropped in 2016, and I'm looking to get back into it with some friends soon. This helped tons!
I played RTS games since I was six and always trash my friends when we play against each other (I am not a pro or anything, just an rts enthusiast) but they all always get so confused when they hear I use the mouse to the corner method to pan. They do not understand (which is fair, it just works for me). Everyone has their own preferences.
@@farhanfarr8368 I have attacking/denying bound to Space, and I forgot what I have stop action bound to since I usually just right click on terrain to cancel attacks. It works tho!
just got back into dota and realize it has the sticky key option that league has for quick casting In advanced settings you can set quick cast to cast on release, it allows you to aim before you release it. This makes a lot of things smoother in this game coming back Sadly using any quick cast option removes your double click option
u can self cast by using ALT, not sure if it is an option or some setting that i messed with but i use quickcast and i do ALT + spell_key to cast something on myself
you can set right click to attack friendly as well, so you can deny with only 1 click instead of pressing attack and then select the creep, makes it a bit faster 👍👍
New Sub here! Same, Ive played LoL, Hon and Dota as well. In fact, I played dota 1 before LoL. Just got back in dota 2 last time I played it was way back 2014? haha So I'm here trying to learn the changes since 2014 so yeah thanks for this.
I play turbo because it's not as much as an emotional investment. That's how I explain it at least. Throws in norms are really depressing and can ruin a whole night of gaming. A throw in turbo is just frustrating...but pretty painless.
I just played 2 matches after being inactive for more than 3 years. Though I won both of the matches there are many new things on the map which I don't really understand but you covered most of them. I hope you include the runes and neutral creeps' spawn times too. Thank you anyway. I learned a lot from your video.
Hey so about that steam robot verification thing. If it keeps bugging out and doing the same thing over and over again you can go and make an account on your browser. That will work and the bug wont be there so all youll have to do is just log in and thats it
Actually, I'm currently learning English and i was advised that the best way to learn it better, find out a lot new and interesting words and just be better at it - is to watch what you are interested in. I've been playing Dota 2 more than 3-4 years and i have 3500+ hours in this game. And i have only 3550 MMR now. It's too hard to up yours MMR just playing solo. Watching your video i'm improving my listening, because I'm not native speaker and I'm learning English at the present time. You've told so much useful stuff in this video, I'm shocked how i know so much and even happy that i'm not a new player😅
Haha the last time I played ranked was back in 2012 I think so I have no idea how hard it is playing solo but I'm glad this video helped you improve your english dude 😄
Im trying to learn Dota right now and its a struggle for me. Thankfully, the tutorial system is the best ive ever seen in a MOBA by far. It tries it's hardest to teach me everything I can, but I still have some struggles here and there. Also, the community after telling them I'm new understand how it is, but my friend whos starting out like me has had a bad time with sweats on his team telling him he needs to play with bots before playing the actual game. Thank you for the video tho! Also, should i consider finding a mentor for this game? Ive heard they are all pretty nice people and a good investment on learning the game
Yeah the tutorial system is great in DOTA. I'm glad you have people being understanding towards you when you tell them you're a new player because I kinda had the same as your friend haha. If you're able to find someone that's willing to mentor you through Dota 2 then hey why not x) Anyway Enjoy the game!
Trying out DOTA 2 again after not playing for many years. Mainly play HotS casually. DOTA 2 feels soooo slow compared to HotS. Thanks for the guide. Will see if i can get back into it else will just stick with my casual HotS
I like going back to playing HoTS once in a while as well, you don't have to worry about items, denying etc. It's certainly more casual than DOTA. Hope you are able to get back at it x) Also if you want faster paced matches you could try out turbo!
As an FPS player this is my first time playing a MOBA game ever and thank god I found a guide that explains even the little details. I can't believe how hard this game is. Thank you so much!
never saw dota as hard game. It is competitive so yeah you can lose, but controlling the character and maneuvering over the map can't be described as hard :P
@@vibetribe52 i think hes talking about other stuff than pointing and clicking. But you also have to understand FPS players don't think in the same way that rts players would when moving in the plane of space in mobas. Its like sprite and wine.

But expecting a cod player to look at all of the information on screen, + this awkward and ancient style of moving characters around isn't as simple to pay attention to, learn, and be comfortable. is like asking a dolphin to study lava samples in a volcano.
@@nyxx7813 You are mostly correct, but if it is that hard for 'FPS Gamers' to take time to read the spells and practice a bit, people you are referring to as 'FPS crowd' are beyond 'tarded. Also how can you be only-one-type-of-game person, fps is good for 15 min brake between sets of 3 dota matches :D
Audio is fine. The proper way to set levels is using the db meter and adjust it so that it rarely goes into the red but stays close to it as possible.

Never thought Id ever play this game but here I am after riot's bullshit. I put up with a lot but vangaurd was the final straw that broke me. Thanks for the guide and im also curious if any other league players also left bc of vangaurd lol?
Im just starting to get new here on DOTA 2 (Yet kept uninstalling it because I kept getting confused and overwhelmed to start). What more on the current 7.36, theres plenty of major changes here
@@noksura6312 it's not about data, it's about allowing a process to run at root. it's an undeniable security risk and will be the brunt of a majority of hacking efforts for the foreseeable future. if (when) hackers get access, millions of computers will be destroyed effortlessly.
I kinda miss that late 2010's era of the MOBA explosion. There were so many cool ideas, and instead we got stuck with DOTA 2, League of Legends, and now the dying embers that is Smite 2....
Because Of League Of Legends will have vanguard, It creates an opportunity for me to play Dota 2. Even though I am still not great at it, I am getting the hang of it and I must say, it's such a good game. I still don't think It is better than League ( for now ) but I can see this will become my next online game :) Thanks for the tutorial
Hi I'm not sure if you'll see this but I just started playing and all the regular (non new player mode) matches I play have super high level players in them. Is this just how the game works and I have to play new player matches?
Most new player matches are filled with bots to help new players get used to the game. However they are almost always on easy mode so it's better to learn while doing games against real people. As for the high level thingy I sometimes get queued in turbo matches with new players which is weird. But I think that the only game mode you'll be queued with people around your skill lvl is ranked. That being said I remember that valve did a update that should try to get newer players in the same brackets even when playing All pick or something.
I used to play dota/dota2 a lot back in 2010-2018. I was hella young back then around 14 and now i’m 22 and i don’t get this game anymore. Like i know i need to deny creeps and do last hits, but there’s this tier things now and the map revamp too. I’m so confused bro like i keep apologizing to my teammates 😅..
@@ItsDanta I played a few games and got reported for going 3/17. I tried to explain it was my 3rd game but they thought I was lying because I knew too many things for a new player so I guess your guide was too good.
I was looking for a Beginners Guide for Dota 2 since I'm about to play the game again after maybe.... 4-5-6 years... I forgot exactly how many. And I was looking for a video to "refresh" the knowledge I had about the game, and to hear more about what was added and what I should look for. At first, the video was quite underwhelming... In my opinion, the whole... Game Mode and Options/Keybindings part was poorly presented. I know that when I first opened the game I was extremely confused by the "All Pick" term, like.... what even is that. And I feel like this video didn't really present them either. Like... what each of them mean and how they affect you. If your ultimate goal is to play Ranked, then what should you play to get better? Is Ranked a variation of All Pick? Or Turbo? What's the "classic" Dota 2 game mode? I know that it wasn't just me having this issue. I started playing with my high school friends and we all had the same issue. "What should we play?" "Idk....". So we just went for Bots. Then about the settings part, it was very messy, or that's how I found it. If I was a new player, I would want to learn about the game, not the settings first(I know, this is personal opinion, doesn't matter). But even so, I found the way you presented them to be a bit messy. I didn't really understand much from what you were explaining, but I knew the settings, so I was fine. I mean, I hate it when somebody says... "Make shortcut for Denies, but I'll tell you later what that is". If you are gonna tell me later what that is, then tell me to do the keybind later when I know what that is. How am I supposed to know how much I'll use that shortcut, so I can assign it properly. I felt like the section "What's on the Map" was the best one presented. Also because it's what I was mainly looking for, though... The towers in the jungle... Aren't they supposed to give you EXP if you take them? I think you didn't mention this. Or maybe they changed it. The "Which hero should I play" felt like it didn't give me much information. I wished you would take all roles, explain what they are and what they do, what people expect that role to do, and give a few examples of heroes to play in that role. I wouldn't have minded a 1h long video for this. But I will keep checking your channel, maybe you have all those added as well, but in another video "Advanced Guide for Beginners in Dota 2", something like that. Thanks for the video! I felt like it was a pretty decent guide, and the players that wanted to learn about Dota could have gotten a lot of good info from this video!
Usually there is a carry on all lanes and a support to support them. Except for mid since you will be there alone. If you are going to play a hard carry like AM or Terrorblade for example you usually go to the safe lane. That's pretty much it.
I love dota 2 now, I love more serious strategy than league carrys meta + league now makes too much lag and I got punished for 1 month, this is nice time to change my mind
shoutout to my dumb ass constantly trying and failing to deny and generally having clunky autoattacking because as a league player im basically married to attack move and couldn't find the attack move setting in dota so simply didnt realize it exists and have been frustratedly struggling to deny with right click and feeling frustrated i thought i needed to only right click to auto things👌
You can do that ofc but I just like to have a clean mini map. Especially early game when you don't really care about who is on the lane as long as your team calls out missing.
2:03 - i tried couple bot matches, and i have to say bots in dota 2 are god-awful, i only tried medium basic bots and whatever most upvoted script available - they're just clueless, and also don't seem to react to you picking a lane, so you always end up with mid.
there is a mod that makes dota bot way way better, they are pretty though even for intermediate player. i think its called ranked matchmaking ai. it helped me when i only had 100 hours of playtime
10:12 Interesting fact: items are painted by color for a reason, this is not for kindergarten😆. Strength - red, agility - green, intelligence - blue. Well, accordingly, mixed colors, blue + red = purple. It seems like nothing special, but apparently it’s more convenient for the subconscious
as to answer your question which hero is what, it depends on your situation because some hero can be played in multiple roles. your previous game mid can sometimes play in the offlane in the next game. mid heroes usually high tempo caster/spammer hero ie. storm spirit,invoker, zeus that thrive on early levels.(most of them are squishy) adc or carry usually comes from agility heroes that have high attack speed or damage but need more items to dish those damage(hence the farm priority). ie sven, drow, juggernaut, antimage top laner or offlane are usually tanky heroes that are hard to kill. most of them are strength based heroes that just sit in lane try to make other team carry annoyed. ie tidehunter,timbersaw,axe, dedicated jungler is non existent in dota so it is replaced with soft support or roamer. soft support usually sits in lane with offlaner but would be the first to leave the lane to help other lanes or create plays. it is mostly dominated by mobile heroes or heroes with at least 1 guarantee disable or slow in their kit. ie earthshaker, earthspirit, vengeful spirit. support or hard support is almost the same in league or dota. but dota hard support had more responsibility which to provide vision, creating stack, sometimes walk mid to help secure power runes. hard support are mostly heroes that have low cooldown spells and dont mind spamming their skills just to make enemy offlaner focus their attention away from the carry. support heroes mostly squishy mage with multiple disable or healing spell built in their kit ie crystal maiden, shadow shaman, lion, enchantress..
I quit long time ago cause I was tired of teammates that rage over nothing and just not help. A teammate thats bad because they're learning, I like and I dont get mad. A teammate that cries and doesnt help deserves perma ban
I was a lol player but i moved to linux since microsoft takes more than 80% of my resources and i cant play it anymore. I wanna learn dota 2 now but every match i get called for feeding and throwing :( i get called words i have never heard of and i feel like shit.
That's the downside of moba's but just mute them and keep playing / learning. You can also try playing some bot matches till you get the hang of it if you don't want to deal with those kind of people.
Quick cast shows the targeting system if you use the 'on release option' instead of casting on button press. That's what I use so that I can be sure my spells are targeted correctly while eleminating the extra click.

I felt like the section "What's on the Map" was the best one presented. Also because it's what I was mainly looking for, though... The towers in the jungle... Aren't they supposed to give you EXP if you take them? I think you didn't mention this. Or maybe they changed it.
The "Which hero should I play" felt like it didn't give me much information. I wished you would take all roles, explain what they are and what they do, what people expect that role to do, and give a few examples of heroes to play in that role. I wouldn't have minded a 1h long video for this.
But I will keep checking your channel, maybe you have all those added as well, but in another video "Advanced Guide for Beginners in Dota 2", something like that.
Thanks for the video! I felt like it was a pretty decent guide, and the players that wanted to learn about Dota could have gotten a lot of good info from this video!
wasd camera movement player here too xD
Subbed after the second d🦆k! Thanks for all the info too!
whaha thanks!
Played my second mp game yesterday. I'm brand new and really, really, really bad. Guy on my team lost his mind.
You kill me with sniper 😂😂😂😂 nice video 👍 but the new players they need to play a lot in normal mode first not rank 🙏🙏
Whaha thanks dude, yeah I think new players shouldn't play ranked first in any game. But hey there still are people that do haha
One thing I don't understand where carry lane? it's top or bottom or mid and also where support lane can someone explain?
Usually there is a carry on all lanes and a support to support them. Except for mid since you will be there alone. If you are going to play a hard carry like AM or Terrorblade for example you usually go to the safe lane. That's pretty much it.
ouh okk tq for explaining
Wellp, League Of Legends added kernel level anti-cheat today. So hear I am starting my journey into Dota after playing league for a decade.
Oof really? That sucks, hope you'll enjoy playing Dota x)
I love dota 2 now, I love more serious strategy than league carrys meta + league now makes too much lag and I got punished for 1 month, this is nice time to change my mind
i play this game like almost decade ago. can i reset my progress and start as new player? like. it's almost different game for me now.
Hmm the only way to do that is by playing dota on a new steam account I think.
shoutout to my dumb ass constantly trying and failing to deny and generally having clunky autoattacking because as a league player im basically married to attack move and couldn't find the attack move setting in dota so simply didnt realize it exists and have been frustratedly struggling to deny with right click and feeling frustrated i thought i needed to only right click to auto things👌
Whahaha :D
Just set showing hero icons on the minimap by default
Why lock the valuable info behind a keypress
You can do that ofc but I just like to have a clean mini map. Especially early game when you don't really care about who is on the lane as long as your team calls out missing.
Those camera options ARE triggering lol. Have you tried camera grip?
Hahaha no I haven't. I never looked back after changing my camera settings to WASD but I'll take a look at camera grip and see if I'll like it :)
Pretty much all pros either use screen edge or grip. Grip is more efficient than anything else but harder to get used to.@@ItsDanta
2:03 - i tried couple bot matches, and i have to say bots in dota 2 are god-awful, i only tried medium basic bots and whatever most upvoted script available - they're just clueless, and also don't seem to react to you picking a lane, so you always end up with mid.
Try injust bots, a little tip, with alt You can commnd them, alt and lefr click, the bots now for some times that there si a Target
there is a mod that makes dota bot way way better, they are pretty though even for intermediate player. i think its called ranked matchmaking ai. it helped me when i only had 100 hours of playtime
10:12 Interesting fact: items are painted by color for a reason, this is not for kindergarten😆. Strength - red, agility - green, intelligence - blue. Well, accordingly, mixed colors, blue + red = purple. It seems like nothing special, but apparently it’s more convenient for the subconscious
I put 3000hrs in this game, haven't played since 2016.
Is it worth coming back?
It sure is
Well i was left with one question ... Which champs are adc which suports witch junglers which toplaners :))))(league player)
as to answer your question which hero is what, it depends on your situation because some hero can be played in multiple roles. your previous game mid can sometimes play in the offlane in the next game.
mid heroes usually high tempo caster/spammer hero ie. storm spirit,invoker, zeus that thrive on early levels.(most of them are squishy)
adc or carry usually comes from agility heroes that have high attack speed or damage but need more items to dish those damage(hence the farm priority). ie sven, drow, juggernaut, antimage
top laner or offlane are usually tanky heroes that are hard to kill. most of them are strength based heroes that just sit in lane try to make other team carry annoyed. ie tidehunter,timbersaw,axe,
dedicated jungler is non existent in dota so it is replaced with soft support or roamer. soft support usually sits in lane with offlaner but would be the first to leave the lane to help other lanes or create plays. it is mostly dominated by mobile heroes or heroes with at least 1 guarantee disable or slow in their kit. ie earthshaker, earthspirit, vengeful spirit.
support or hard support is almost the same in league or dota. but dota hard support had more responsibility which to provide vision, creating stack, sometimes walk mid to help secure power runes. hard support are mostly heroes that have low cooldown spells and dont mind spamming their skills just to make enemy offlaner focus their attention away from the carry. support heroes mostly squishy mage with multiple disable or healing spell built in their kit ie crystal maiden, shadow shaman, lion, enchantress..
I quit long time ago cause I was tired of teammates that rage over nothing and just not help.
A teammate thats bad because they're learning, I like and I dont get mad.
A teammate that cries and doesnt help deserves perma ban
I was a lol player but i moved to linux since microsoft takes more than 80% of my resources and i cant play it anymore. I wanna learn dota 2 now but every match i get called for feeding and throwing :( i get called words i have never heard of and i feel like shit.
That's the downside of moba's but just mute them and keep playing / learning. You can also try playing some bot matches till you get the hang of it if you don't want to deal with those kind of people.
Downloading now never played dota in my life . Wish me luck
Goodluck x)
I left dota for 5 year and holy fuck there's alot of changes
Yeah for sure haha
15:13 what is wisdom runes spawn time?

As a league of legends jungle main, this was very helpful for me to try out dota 2 👌
Oh that's great to hear!
i have watched the whole thing and am still confused xD
2:20 "EVERYONE KNOWS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN IS UNDER INTENSE LIFE THREATING PRESSURE"
So true 😆
ughh this feels like a math class I'll stay on GTA I guess
Check out Minion Masters. Auto battler, gorgeous, fun, and way more simple. And matches are from 2 to 8 minutes
Wtf, I gave up Dota in 2018 and wow it's so much more complicated now
Damn bro be fighting the millions of toxic players singlehandedly
3:46
Whaha😅
I want to play dota how can I download
You download it on steam
I need you as a teammate lol
your voice made me feel things
I hope they were good things at least :D
Special teammates XD
