we transitioned to dota 2 or 3 days ago from league since we dont have any fun in league anymore, developer choices, ranked mm and so on. We re having so much fun with dota so far. Its rough tho but so much more rewarding
It's a great game once you get past the incredible learning curve! But I think coming from LoL you'll have a good grasp on the mechanics and general gameplay so it's a good transition :)
@@AlexanderCoccia you ll get a feeling of good map rotations from the get go because awareness on where people might go at a certain point or how to keep downtimes low and get a pathing done is kinda similar. i m really loving weaver atm because he kinda works as support or carry (had some games with no supports at all and.. well yeah) suport weaver with a 30 seconds time rewind on allies is actually really cool. your tank runs in, team is wasting spells, and you pretty much get him back to full hp with time rewind, dmg is nice, perma invis and insane speed, i love that guy
Day 3 of learning Dota 2: there's so many cool heroes, I can't even decide on who to play. :^) I played my first "all pick"(?) match (the one where you can play every hero available and you can ban stuff) and I went 1/8/5 as Tiny playing against people who had over 1.6k hours of playtime lmao. I love Tiny though, his Toss is funny as hell and I keep accidentally throwing my teammates around. Not sure how to play Tiny early though. I've watched a high elo match where someone played Tiny but even though he was like 16/3 he couldn't do anything that match except get one or two picks once in a while. The game's fun! Love learning more about it!
PS: it's insane how superior Dota 2's tutorial is to the tutorial for League of Legends. The bonus stuff provided by the Dota 2 plus membership is also absolutely incredible. You get information in the client that League players have to use additional websites for.
Glad to hear that you're having fun! And yeah, Dota Plus offers a lot of stuff although it could be argued that it should be free because assists that help new players would be beneficial for everyone for free. I hope you continue to enjoy the game!
after loving Underlords for the entirety of Season 1, I decided to start playing Dota2 about a month ago. I'm so glad you are making a series on getting started and understanding Dota2. My gaming friends have played for about 6 years, so I'm looking to get as much good info and tips. As always, thanks for the great content, Alex!
this is the first game i binge watched a full Playlist of guides for beginners. i love his passion, makes me want to play even more. when is the next guide?
I'vd been trying to play this game since i was a teenager (15yrs old) and now with these videos finally i learned something something after 6 years. Of course i watched videos but they were not like these videos. They were really hard to understand and you really made your videos simple. Videos are really easy to understand and they give a lot of knowledge. Thank you for the videos you published. You are amazing...
I'll be playing Dota 2 in about two months from now after I change my Laptop with a better one or a Desktop. Your videos are helping me grasp the knowledge I need to play well. Thank you so much.
Can you make a video on Dota 2 tips and tricks cause now I know all the basics but i simply get killed by enemies i just rush into them you can make a video like mistakes not to make in dota for beginners
Alex. Idk if you know this but you are creating a monster. And the only way to satiate my hunger is to play games with the name Dota in it. Honestly though I was never sure on how a carry should be operating. This is extremely extremely extremely helpful. Like when should I be creeping....when should I be laning....mostly wtf am I supposed to be doing? lol Me personally I've always been a support fanatic and I will forward to that video with great anticipation. But honestly thanks for all of the help. Being able to know what other people might be thinking when running their characters is so useful!!!! Have a great day!
Jungling is dead as of the current meta. You won't have a dedicated jungler like the old days. There are heroes that can effectively hop into the jungle to farm and then hop back in lane, like Anti-Mage, but it's rare to have someone solely work the jungle.
I've played League of Legends for a while. DotA2 is something else entirely. In League I can solo 1v5 versus bots easy. In this game I get wrecked by bots. How in the world are you supposed to kite and animation cancel in this game?????
Animation cancel with the S key (stop command)! Kiting is harder due to the turn rates on heroes. I have a video specifically for League players one sec let me hunt it down
@@AlexanderCoccia I think the character I tried playing was just giving me trouble. I gave Sniper a try and the movement, and aa animation cancelling is much smoother. Also what is that hero's range wtf??
@@AlexanderCoccia Really motivational words there hehe... Day 3 of playing dota and 4 games.. still haven't won a single game but I do think some of the things in the game is getting on my head now.. Though toxic people just won't go away.. hahaha

@@AlexanderCoccia okay thank you soo much. im having a tough time understanding exactly what i should do as a soft support
Ah, position 4. That's the most complex position in the game. Keep at it! Who have you been playing?
@@AlexanderCoccia mirana for position 4. i really like helping offlaner farm but i have problems with ganking, and such
Ah! You should try Clockwerk! He's the king of setting up ganks in offline!

I'll be playing Dota 2 in about two months from now after I change my Laptop with a better one or a Desktop. Your videos are helping me grasp the knowledge I need to play well. Thank you so much.
Can you make a video on Dota 2 tips and tricks cause now I know all the basics but i simply get killed by enemies i just rush into them
you can make a video like mistakes not to make in dota for beginners
Absolutely! Thanks for the suggestion!
So immensely helpful.
Glad you think so!
@@AlexanderCoccia who knows, one day I might try to play against actual people again
Your guide is really helpful. Thank you.
Glad to hear that!
I'm learning so much from this series! Thank you very much for the valuable job!
Glad you enjoy it!
da best teacher in da hood
truth
Very nice beginner guide, you explained the basics very well!
Thank you! I'm happy to help, and happy to hear that you found it helpful!
Alex. Idk if you know this but you are creating a monster. And the only way to satiate my hunger is to play games with the name Dota in it.
Honestly though I was never sure on how a carry should be operating. This is extremely extremely extremely helpful. Like when should I be creeping....when should I be laning....mostly wtf am I supposed to be doing? lol

Have a great day!
LOL! You know, I'm the same way right now. If it's Dota, I need to play it. You're the best, thank you for all of your support!!
Great guide, can't wait for part 5
I'm a bit behind, I know, but I'm working on it!
This series is great aha, what position would Void Spirit play and what lane? 😅
Faceless Void is played in the safe lane as a position one!
@@AlexanderCoccia Oh I'm sorry if I havnt got his name right but I meant Void Spirit. 😅 I've also been trying Dawnbreaker.
OH I MISREAD! Void Spirit is played mid! Position 2
Dawnbreaker is usually played in the offlane as either a position 3 or 4!
Good vid. Skipped the item one for now, thats alotta items, idk man lol.
Lol yeah, that's a very long video
same but its very informative
There’s no jungle in dota? Or is still like a carry or hard carry?
Jungling is dead as of the current meta. You won't have a dedicated jungler like the old days. There are heroes that can effectively hop into the jungle to farm and then hop back in lane, like Anti-Mage, but it's rare to have someone solely work the jungle.
I remember i start in the jungle with lifestealer
And ty again with this wonderful guides
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
thank you
You're welcome!

Check out this video if you're finding movement difficult to get a handle of: ruclips.net/video/sOQPGDKy2XI/видео.html
@@AlexanderCoccia I think the character I tried playing was just giving me trouble. I gave Sniper a try and the movement, and aa animation cancelling is much smoother. Also what is that hero's range wtf??
Lol yeah they both have insane range!! Lol 🤣
Carry is responsible for last hitting while support is responsible for denying
Meanwhile underlord last hitting and denying all of the creeps:
i die at usually 4 times in a game( i started playing 5 days ago) . is it normal?
Only 4 times? :D
Got trash talked when I first played the game.. Cant blame them, I sucked
Don't let the haters get to you. Just mute them and keep on playing :)
@@AlexanderCoccia Really motivational words there hehe... Day 3 of playing dota and 4 games.. still haven't won a single game but I do think some of the things in the game is getting on my head now.. Though toxic people just won't go away.. hahaha
You'll win eventually lol, just keep at it! And I hope your experience gets more positive
main damage dealer?
What is your rank in dota ?
I dont know adam sandler is playing dota 2
hahahaha
yes
LOL
Woah how did you turn AM into a chick?!
lol it was a "persona" that was featured in the most recent battle pass
:D
Why am I playing Dota 2? I don't even watch this video.
