[Asrathiel]

OK I just got a key... never played dota, tried LoL and hated it

No idea what I'm doing, is there a vs AI option I can muck around in?

[cruxis]

Yeah you can create your own game and fill it with bots, or you can search for team mates to vs bots.

[Daboo]

@asthYeah play with bots for a few games, and then hit up matchmaking. Even though the bots are quite good, playing with real people just felt a lot better. I started out with people who had no experience too, so there was no flaming etc,just choose the lowest skill rank.

[Asrathiel]

Thanks peoples Reading the guide linked in the OP at the moment, then I'll go give the AI a go ^_^

[Asrathiel]

Wow, my computer and dota do not get along at all. It freezes and goes feral when I try to open it!

Then you haven't played a lot of pubs :O

Eu pubs full of Russians, is pretty amusing sometimes.

[Torniquet]

Yeah not going to lie. Im far from happy when i get new people in my games. But thats not the worst because normally when i explain something i listen. The worst is when you get bad people who refuse to listen and just ruin the game for you.

I need to play with you more then. I need someone yelling at me when I'm being stupid and I'm stupid too often.

[MazEi]

I think I'm just too kind, I don't seem to rage as hard as the people I know at noobs, unless they're arrogant retards.

[yongming]

you guys havent seen me rage yet. but tbh after playing dota for almost a decade, the anger really dies down.

Quick Comments

Theend:

[souljah]

I rage all the time at feeders... well unless they are new at the game and WILLING TO LEARN... if they are noob as shit and think they are the bomb, I'm just going to rage at them whole game

[Asrathiel]

Has anyone else had any problems opening the damn game? Computer freezes when I try, and it's not a bad computer. Any suggestions?

[Carnifex]

Try going into your Steam library, right click Dota 2, click properties. Then do that check game file integrity thing and see if it works after that.
