If it's not your victim's teammates nabbing your head before you actually get to your target, then it's usually the towers that do a good job of punishing anyone who overextends. It's easy for newbies to fall into that trap of thinking they can risk their own heroes' HP for that one last hit against the enemy h
That's why consumables like the Town Portal Scroll are valuable early on and even late or mid-game. If you're in a lane, you'd want to stay there as much as possible. If not TP Scrolls then healing items are also a godsend when it comes to sticking to your lane. Your teammates will thank you for this kind of preparedn
Staying in the backline, conjuring some epic lights, and then being as useful as possible from afar. That is the life of the Intelligence-type hero in DOTA 2 or MOBA tier list even other MOBAs . It's not exactly the most glorious way to play especially when compared to the clutch moves of Agility heroes or the imposing presence of Strength heroes but the best among Intelligence heroes can prove to be a class on their
But the darker, shattered moon in the background – also known as the "Mad Moon" – is actually the place where the two ever-warring sentient beings known as the Ancients in DOTA were originally imprisoned. These are the same titular Ancients (Radiant and Dire) whose "Mad Song" forces heroes to fight and ultimately destroy the other Anci
Against another hero in a lane, her harassing capabilities are near-unmatched as she can turn attrition potshots into significant damage thanks to Impetus. She's also resilient enough to stay in her lane or in the jungle thanks to her healing abil
As the best hero in the game currently, nobody is laughing anymore. He can farm with each clone and gain an experience advantage that no other hero in the game can contest. When all of his clones are together, he has an eight-second disable and a 480 damage n
One of the aforementioned top Intelligence hero staples, Invoker has always been an interesting character to play. He's also possibly the most complex hero in DOTA 2 because he has in total, 14 abilities, four of which he uses to create the other
Despite being one of the most popular esports games in the world, Dota 2 is also notorious for its complexity and steep learning curve . Newcomers are often overwhelmed by the fact that there are 120 heroes with unique spells interacting with hundreds of items, mechanics, and movements at any given time. As veteran players can attest to, it can take hundreds of hours of investment to understand the basics of the game. Furthermore, Dota 2 is an online multiplayer game where two teams of five face off to achieve victory. As a result, teamwork is an essential aspect of the game and toxicity can easily occur when players are grouped together for 40 minute matc
The fans first theorized the culprit to be Riki or Bounty Hunter in disguise. Later, theories shifted to target Templar Assasin, who collects rare items for her master Void Spirit. It has since been revealed that the culprit is a completely new character , but the wild goose chase that the fans gave is endearing at wo
At one point, this spot would have been occupied by Anti-Mage, but there is a new mana-burner in town with more utility and greater burst damage that still carries games. Nyx Assassin has essentially filled the Anti-Mage role and added onto
If someone turns the brightness up high, they will notice that Davion is running up a spiked back. Viewers can similarly see that he jumps over the head of none other than Slyrak itself to attack the other dra
Yet there are a few heroes that have been around for a while that, while they might not be immune to nerfs, are certainly more resistant to them than others. Experts that have mastered these heroes don't sweat it when an upcoming patch looks to put a stop to their reign of dominance because they can prioritize other skills and items to keep them strong and scary. These are the most notable heroes that players should either learn to master or learn to
Unfortunately, since the matchmaking system was flawed, new players would routinely end up in games where their teammates or enemies would have thousands of games worth of experience over them. With no designated matchmaking pool for beginners, they would soon become frustrated at the skill gap and quit the game. Another problem was smurfing in the matchmaking system, where more skilled players would create alternate accounts with the intention of playing against lower skilled players. In short, newcomers rarely played against others at their skill level and this was a big reason why Dota 2 stagnated in grow
Perhaps the biggest Easter egg comes not from the trailer but from the mobile phone wallpapers released with it . Fans were quick to realize that each of the four heroes' posters had a part of a QR code in them. Putting together the QR code leads to a 10-second teaser with Terrorbl
