Xiahou Shake 02/01/12 10:14:00 PM #2:	What is DotA? Well, good sir, DotA is the alpha and the omega of the League of Legends/HoN variety of games! All games in the genre sprung from it, and so too shall the genre return to it upon DotA 2's release. DotA is a team oriented game, in which two teams of 5 players face off against eachother. Each player takes control of one of 104 unique heroes, and face off against eachother on a large battlefield, assisted by waves of computer controlled monsters called "creeps". The two teams, the Radiant and the Dire, each have a base: Radiant in lower left, Dire in the upper right. There are three "lanes" connecting the bases, with towers guarding the road to victory. Each team must push these lanes, with the ultimate goal of breaching the enemy team's base and destroying their Ancient, granting them victory. What kind of heroes are there? DotA has all manner of heroes! The diversity of skills the various heroes employ is something to be commended. It would be quite impossible to go into them all here, but you can slake your thirst for knowledge at this link, if you want. http://www.playdota.com/heroes To give a brief idea, though, there are three main types of heroes, Strength, Agility, and Intelligence based. Going a step further, DotA heroes occupy various "roles", parts they play in contributing to the team. The importance of teamwork in DotA cannot be stressed enough, so be sure you're aware of your hero's role! What are these roles? Remember to keep your shoes on at all times... wait, that's something different. DotA's roles include the following: Carry - The importance of the carry in a DotA match can't be understated. By their nature, carries tend to start off fairly weak, but as they gain levels and items, they become unbelievably powerful. Back up your carry in the early/mid game, and watch them smite your foes in the late game! Support - Support heroes, predictably, play a support role. Their job is to place wards around the map, heal their allies, stun their enemies, aid in setting up ganks, and other such things. Ganker - These bad boys are dedicated to making the enemy team miserable. Gankers tend to start off quite strong in the early game, and it's their job to practice general deathdealing upon the enemy team, though especially on their carry, to prohibit them from becoming strong. These definitions are a GROSS simplification, but as you play you'll notice very quickly how a team is supposed to function. Remember, a team that slays together stays together! This sounds awesome, where can I start playing? Ah, there's the rub. Unfortunately, DotA 2 isn't out yet! The game is currently in it's beta phase. We are rapidly approaching an open beta, however, as invites are being sent out every day now. To make it even better, everyone who is invited by Valve gets two guest invites for their friends! If you haven't already, follow this link (it opens in Steam) and take the survey. steam://takesurvey/1/ The questions are kinda silly, so just fake it if you must! The important thing is that you submit it, because that's the only way to get an invite! When does the game come out? We don't know! Valve/Icefrog have stated that the plan is to stay in beta until the game is insanely polished, but past a point let everyone play it as it develops. The game is updated every Thursday with balance changes and usually new heroes, so for now just kick back and enjoy it.

Anyway, I'm guessing they've like given up on getting the test client up early. Chances are we won't see it till Thursday and then we'll get 2-3 heroes added to the client then. At least now there's more to look forward to! Actually this was discussed recently. Guinsoo doesn't like Invoker because of his nature of being able to be relatively uncounterable because he's so versatile. -- ~Acting on Impulse~ Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK <cite>Justin_Crossing posted [p:739522] in Dota 2 Top...

Aecioo 02/09/12 5:10:00 PM #33:	But Invoker is also the best hero in the game (in terms of being awesome to play). I honestly think the best game would be to make a bunch of heroes that are basically modified invoker. Kind of, actually, how they tried to make Demigod. You had what, 8ish champions to choose from? But you could build them completely differently to fill different roles every game. That game was awesome except for the complete lack of players and the maps being dull and boring. Basically, I would buy INVOKER DOTA: THE GAME in a heartbeat. -- http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcb35gGx0t1qailr4o1_500.gif http://www.megavideo.com/?v=57N0YAEJ <cite>Aecioo posted [p:739523] in Dota 2 Top...

Ness26 02/09/12 8:22:00 PM #43:	There will be killcams in Dota 2 too. They're in progress right now -- you can enable them with a console command. Presumably you'll be able to use this to find out what killed you. For newbies this will be helpful so they can read the spells that killed them (hi Bloodseeker Ult).

The Real Truth 02/09/12 8:43:00 PM #44:	Earthshaker is just an amazing hero. His stopping power is unrivaled. Just gotta watch out for Silencer. It also helps when the other team clumps up. The way I play, is I always try to get people when they least expect it. Most people probably think along the lines of "Okay, we can't clump up at the tower because they have an Earthshaker." What they stupidly will do is clump up midway through the lane as they're pushing, and that's a fantastic time to just rush them if your team is with you. I just pay attention to things like that. You just gotta think outside the box sometimes. And Ness you saved me at least 4 times I think. -- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
