Anyone can buy their way into the Dota 2 beta right now, but it can be awfully confusing to choose from the dozens of heroes when you're just starting out.
That's where we come in. This roster rolodex gives you a snapshot of every hero in the game, including their abilities, best roles, and most importantly, how difficult they are to master. If you're unsure of which Radiant or Dire hero will best suit your playstyle, this is the best way to find out. You'll also find a glossary below, to bring you up to speed or refresh your memory on what some of Dota 2's key terms mean. Once you've seen what every hero is capable of, you'll be that much more prepared for what awaits on the fields of battle."
From beefy tanks to powerful carries, these are the best Strength heroes in Dota 2's Turbo Mode.
Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.
Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.
Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.
Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?
It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.
This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
Following the Dota 2 update that increased the size of the map by 40%, I asked League of Legends EP Jeremy Lee if we can expect similar things for LoL.
