Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Play against bots. Really.

Read guides, mechanics, heroes, everything.

Dota always had a brutal learning curve.

I got invited to Dota 2 on a spare steam account I have if any one has a game they would be willing to give me for the account.

Play co-op vs bots, or even just solo vs bots.

Seriously, don't worry about being super n00b and feeding at first. Anyway the stats don't count yet ;). There are some great videos on Youtube that can give you a brief course about heroes you would like to play. Or you can PM me I could give you some tricks via the game.

Enjoy the beta ! ;)

Yeah, when I got in for the first time and ran down an empty lane... Some American dude said that I had Down Syndrome... Feels Bad Man

Was playing for the first time, was told to quit and go kill myself. I didn't find that the strategy that hard to pick up, but spending half the game running and hiding is just stupid it doesn't stand up as strategy games and it doesn't stand up as action either. Don't think it's my kind of genre.

Than you shouldnt play, you should only play when you are good enough to not annoy others, and you can get there without playing by... well we cant have all the answers figure it out for yourself.
