From lorewise that space-wizard-looking-guy-in-a-suit-of-armour 'The Arc Warden,Zet' is actually the Thirth Ancient,the two ancients are the dire and radiant
Bro, I have been playing for 12,000 hours. You reminded me of what it was like to play Dota for the first time. Thank you so much for that. And somehow you managed to capture dynamics about the game that took me a long long time to figure out - like the fact that I enjoy the feeling of superiority over my former self as I improve more than I do about beating my opponents. Wonderful wonderful video, incredibly edited and well written and I'm so glad it showed up in my recs. Instant sub 'This game exists in that thin barrier between stress relief. . . and sadism.' SO FUCKING TRUE LOL
Thanks man, That means a lot! It makes me happy to know that even an extremely experienced player enjoys my work. I'll have to use some of your guides as I start getting better opponents, I'm already starting to run across better and better players.
@@ShireJak It was amazing! Sent it to all my friends Let me know if you find the guides helpful! If you're as fresh to the game as your video made it seem, your gameplay looks super solid honestly for where you're at. Best of luck
The war between the ancients actually only happens once. Each game of dota is an alternate reality where the ancients each recruited five different heroes and a different battle occurred.
I'm pretty sure that universe just restarts when one of the ancients falls. Like it can't exist without one of the fundamentals because the balance gets ruined or something like that. And so dota is a tale of endless war between two sides happening across infinite timelines. With each timeline being different, with ancients "hiring" different heroes under different circumstances. And Arc Warden wants to stop that war and keep balance of power between ancients either by keeping them both alive or destroying them.
thank you for making a video covering dota 2, its been years since i played it and i just started playing it again and regretting doing so and yet again coming back for another match. At least turbo. You sound like a really cool and entertaining dude, at least i found your narration, voice and comments, really welcoming and joyful. The only thing i think it would have been nice to mention is the voice acting in this game, at least for me is so fucking unreal godlike and i hope one day i could make something like that, literally a source of inspiration. Anyway, thank you for this and thanks youtube for your algorithmical magic that brought me here. Best regards from Argentina
Thank you! I truly appreciate the kind words! And yeah the game can be rough, especially solo. You are right, the voice acting and direction is almost across the board amazing. I should have mentioned it but the script was already so long that it slipped through. I feel like Valve's writers always have a solid grip on believable dialogue. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ShireJak not only voice acting, almost every skill sfx is different. Each skills are so unique that when you hear it enough, you can know what skill is being thrown in war without even looking
@@ShireJak idk if LoL has this, but in DotA 2 certain heroes will say different things if some specific hero is in their team or if they are killing that hero. Some of them are friends, some enemies or have some other common background story and they will reference it during gameplay, giving another layer of personality and lore
Ok, I'm scared to imagine the horrors of LoL and how sick people are of it to come to Dota 2 and see that toxic rage-inducing insanity, addictive radioactive cave of a game and see it as "refreshing"
I have 1.5k hours in Dota. Its a cesspool of racial slurs, parental insults and toxicity. I have played like 30-40 matches of League and what can I say, its the same thing but anime. They are not as different as people think, Dota just got a bad rep
@@VasiliyOgniov Both are bad, but I'd say what makes Dota players slightly worse is the fact that it has voice chat which adds another layer of toxicity
@@Bee-cw9ho valid. On the other hand, I dare to say that it is not as bad as people say in both cases. Like, I met a lot of people who were genuinely nice. A lot of funny interactions and real advices from people I have never met before. However, when its bad, its really bad
Being honest with you, I always saw Dota 2 as the worst game, Im a grandmaster League player with over 10 years of experience, tried dota back in 2017 and I absolutely hated it. Then, since the last patches have been pure garbage, me and my friends wanted to play something different. Started playing Dota recently and oh my god, I got like 250 hours already and i've been enjoying it so much, its really refreshing as people might say. I'm honestly just wanting to learn all the mechanics needed so I can start ranking on my own (despite the toxicity, since I already have a strong mental from all those years trying to rank up in league) and, lets just say I love how Dota doesn't restrict ANY of his mechanics. It's SO FREAKING FREEING how I can do anything I want in the game without some company behind trying to ruin the fun.
If you haven’t , you should try ability draft once you and your friends are more familiar with the game, the amount of different, weird and fun scenarios is infinite
and then there's Arc Warden, the 3rd side of the coin who wants both Radiant and Dire dead and is also whispering sweet nothings into peoples ears to get their help hmmmmm...
pros: "you see this carry? it's a support now" low prio: "you see this support? It's a carry now" both are equally legitimate at defining game winning metas.
Watching you or your friend get tossed after the aegis steal reminds me why I love this game. League holds your hand and makes sure you can’t troll teammates, but dota is just like fuck it, have a force staff.
Its been a while since I see a video like this of Dota, I played since Dota 2 came out, more than 10 years ago, the last time I see a 'fun' video about Dota was when Dota WTF started (back then they were fun, now... lets not talk about this) all the videos about Dota 2 now are just meta and meta, this is a very good experience watching this video, I appreciate this a lot. And now you win a like and a sub
19:22 ngl, I feel like that was an entirely survivable even with a groin laceration and a bleeding forearm. Pretty sure you could still outwalk the zombies even with the reduced move speed from a groin laceration so if you just kept walking towards somewhere you could break LoS, you could feasibly bandage up and survive. That being said though, from the minimap, it did look kinda desolate but usually there's at least some forest nearby you can get into to lose some of the zombies.
"If everyone is op, then no one is" Thats pretty much dota's design philosophy, and thats why its so good because of that, with enough gold anything can work, thats why despite my friends playing league, i still play dota to this day, league just cant scratch that dota itch man
Only 16 upvotes when I saw this, I blame pre patch fatigue numbering the months. But this is a great video, I enjoyed watching it and I really appreciate your work. Nice one!! Deserves more recognition!
Great video.I've personally been playing Dota 2 for a decade at this point,got 1800+ hours in it(and plenty of money spent on it).Recently i figured out that there are VERY annoying heroes that i started to main,i can even solo the match on some of them,but that's as long as my teammates don't feed and my enemies don't play way better than me.Pugna?Pick mid,get lvl6 and do push speedruns while sucking the life outta enemies and obliterating them with Dagon.Treant Protector?Literally useful on any lane due to seed providing enough healing to revive a dying elephant,and then he evolves into an annoying rootspam machine.Ogre Magi?Fireblast and multicast,that's all i've said.But that's not all,because Dota 2 is TRULY unique,because it's one of the rare games that make me merge with the character i play as,starting to act like them,starting to feel big strong and tanky,or small and quick.Despite it having a very bad playerbase,i still cannot stop but keep playing Dota 2.
this is probably a way better video than any "dota vs lol" i have ever seen. instead of using the word "harder and complicated", you explain why those harder parts made the game more fun without sounding like a circlejerk.
Wow, I'm so glad that YT recommended me this video! Apart from being a good content I truly enjoyed, author also mentioned what russians do to my Ukrainian land, and I'm thankful to hear the wise thoughts on this war from US, thank you!
its insane how valve managed to just flat steal half of their entire games list and people still regard them as an amazing studio . the games that valve ACTUALLY made themselfs were half lifes and portals . Counter strike was a mod of half life , team fortress was a mod of quake , dota was a mod of warcraft 3 and left 4 dead was a mod of counter strike . they did indeed make great games out of them like left 4 dead 2 basically invented the horde sub genre and i still regard dota 2 as the best moba ever , However that doesn't make them any less stolen IPs / ideas . Also its astonishing that nobody be giving credit to the KICK ASS editor that wc3 and sc2 had which without them Tower defenses , mobas , 4x , 2x genres would quite literally never exist . Besides people being dumb this was indeed an excellent video .
i mean valve didnt just outright steal the games though, the people who created the mods they took with them to work for them and turn it into a real game and keep it funded. it was a very positive thing for both the individual and the company, and to all of us consumers who enjoyed the mods & games that came from them. Sure, the games werent originally theirs, but the people who made the mods are at valve creating the actual game with much better funding than they had themselves. and i know in the case of warcraft and DoTA, the guy who made the dota mod originally tried to go with Blizzard, and it didnt work out so valve took it. good for them i say.
In ranked the true enemy is your own team, the enemy is an environmental factor. Everyone will just flame the fuck out of each other for doing or not doing things so much that they forget to interact with the enemy except to ask them to report your team.
Really cool video, definitely subbing. Btw, you should watch SirActionSlacks' Loregasm videos, especially the one about the ancients (i think it's the first one). Your arc warden plays a really big part in the grand scheme of dota's lore. The "Self" he always refers to is the entity that the dire, radiant, and Zet (arc warden) become when they're as one, as they were in the beginning. The dota Lore is REALLY fucking cool. You should also watch his spectre loregasm video, its quite the mindblower
I haven't played League in close to 7 years, maybe 8. I do know that Riot put their invasive anti-cheat into League and it's been fucking with a lot of people's computers. I wouldn't be surprised if that, plus a bunch of other stuff, was leading to people quitting LoL.
Been playing since the first version came out in warcraft, God I never get tired of this game unless im on a losing streak because of overconfidence that I can win 6 gAmes straight like what I did the other day that I am a God in this game now and that the pros ain’t sh8, till for some reason gaben paired me with bunch of *****, fu*****g c**k s****rs now im back to reality and ponder to myself why did I even play today I could’ve stayed in that rank now back to 2 stars sigh 🤦♂️such sadness Anyway you pretty much summed everything up on this game it was an awesome game
This is a very well made video, held back by it dragging a bit too long in each segment. I feel you would reach a much wider audience by cutting down on the length of each portion, just by a bit. Not from the end, but compressing it overall.

He will never forget that theft
every hero is op, that the Concept of dota
Arc warden is so broken
When everyone's OP, balance is achieved.
Until it's not and they have to patch it.
Bruh, why is this viideo so good.
Unlike you I am an actual giant space crab.
dota is a game for sure
feeling good man
Please - more Dota videos! Awesome production. Thanks for your insight!
And now 7.36 is out.
Lord have mercy upon us
also being night people as we are, the heroes get bonus movespeed during the night.
Dota is a great game! Happy to see more people get into it!
a berry nice video
Let this guy know about how a Rubick's patch can have the same amount of lines with a normal patch of the other 100+ heroes combined 💀
Man, I wish I had friends to enjoy this game with
14:10 seeing funny bald man in a dota video wasn't really expected tbh
League players beginning dota is the best genre
I love it so much I hate it.
nice video bro
I do also have a question for you - why play with a minimap on the right?
Fun video, i like
Id been playing this hellhole of a game for 11 years now
In ranked the true enemy is your own team, the enemy is an environmental factor. Everyone will just flame the fuck out of each other for doing or not doing things so much that they forget to interact with the enemy except to ask them to report your team.

great video about this new game, make more!!

XD whats with a sudden influx of so many league player coming to dota
It's funny
I haven't played League in close to 7 years, maybe 8. I do know that Riot put their invasive anti-cheat into League and it's been fucking with a lot of people's computers.
I wouldn't be surprised if that, plus a bunch of other stuff, was leading to people quitting LoL.
oh I felt that pz death, im sorry sir
Been playing since the first version came out in warcraft, God I never get tired of this game unless im on a losing streak because of overconfidence that I can win 6 gAmes straight like what I did the other day that I am a God in this game now and that the pros ain’t sh8, till for some reason gaben paired me with bunch of *****, fu*****g c**k s****rs now im back to reality and ponder to myself why did I even play today I could’ve stayed in that rank now back to 2 stars sigh 🤦♂️such sadness
Anyway you pretty much summed everything up on this game it was an awesome game
This is a very well made video, held back by it dragging a bit too long in each segment. I feel you would reach a much wider audience by cutting down on the length of each portion, just by a bit. Not from the end, but compressing it overall.

I couldn't agree more! I'm always looking for things I could trim down. I cut 5ish minutes from the original script because it had two extra segments that ruined the pacing.
