So my friends convinced me to play Dota... in General Discussion

    So when LoL is down I'm think I'll try some dota. I was wondering which champion should I main? I like Jinx, Ahri, and Master Yi.

    PS I freaking hate Teemo!

      Don't try dota. Fucking shit game.

                I crashed, and I tried getting back into game but it wouldn't let me to include restarting steam, and my laptop. It doesn't show up as a game in my steam history though.

                  At least we don't charge you to play heros. All heros are free. How's that courier treating you?

                      What's wrong with that picture?

                        My community hates me because I like anime.

                        Neme

                          Isn't that manga? Just wondering, what is difference between that two?

                          Jʌy Δshʙoʁnɘ

                            manga = comic.
                            anime = video.

                            That's a screenshot from ep. 1, whenever the main character meets the second lead character.

                              anime is just animation which is basically like a cartoon

                              and manga is just the japanese comic book

                              In before the Japanese fanatics come and claim 'ANIME IS NOT A CARTOON ITS FOR MATURE ADULTS'

                                No clue about those "champions" but they sound like carries so go try out the in-game filters and try to find your favorite. Remember to read their skills as well.

                                    lol @ people who waste time saying they don't want to play with league players. Why click on a thread that's obviously league related, much less respond to it. Also find it funny that they "sound" like carries even though absolutely no information was given. "Sounds" like someone knows a bit more about league than they let on.

                                    Some people have absolutely no life. I guess trolling the dota forums all day is more entertaining than facing that reality, at least.

                                    I recommend you try Drow Ranger, Sniper, and Clinkz. Go from there. After those 3 games, you'll have seen probably 20 different heroes so you'll have some idea which ones you want to try next.

                                      Main Earth Spirit, he's the best. If you don't like him, try out Meepo or Invoker, they're so OP lol xd xd

                                        If you want to ensure you hate Dota and don't come back, I recommend 2001's picks.. :D

                                        Jʌy Δshʙoʁnɘ

                                          Zeus is your standard AP carry. Go mid, Dominate.

                                          Don't listen to this rand^. Dota has several features league doesnt, IE Gold loss on death, Courier, and other things such as Micro. This isn't a Dota vs LoL discussion don't make it into one. It's not a league related thread, its just a Im new to dota thread.

                                          Yeah I know league, never played but I have to study what to dislike about a game before I can trash talk it.

                                            Sorry my "rand" was just pointing out your argument essentially - ignore them. Followed by the answer to the OP's question. So I agreed with you. Sorry I didn't format it the way you liked.

                                              Sounds like carries to me too,

                                                    Pretty sure DeeJayRand is the only guy that thinks Dota & League players are buddy buddy or something.

                                                      Nah, most DotA players and most league players are the same from what I've seen - completely ignorant of the other game and presumptive of whatever makes their argument work.

                                                      I don't really give a fuck either way how much you guys like each other, but it doesn't hurt to tell someone others are just being assclowns so maybe they'll see it for themselves and not listen to what they have to say.

                                                      Deejaypaul

                                                        Cute image too. It's funny because if 2 of the games are more similar, it'd be DotA and HoN, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume anyone with some common sense already knows that.

                                                            When did I ever claim League was "just as good as DotA" or "had the same features as DotA" or anything else that the above diatribe would have been debunking? All I ever said was don't come in a League related thread and bash league. It literally makes no sense. I actually agree with a lot of the flaws League has. That's why I play more DotA these days, and haven't played league in a few months. (You can check lolking if you really care, same user name.)

                                                            I just realized you and Sampson are Dotabuff.com butt pals. No wonder you came after me so hard, because I've ripped him a new one with simple logic in a couple threads in the past. Sorry to interrupt you guys time together with logic and truth. I'm out, don't worry about hearing from me again. I answered the guy's question with my suggestions for first pick heroes. Back to your regularly scheduled Bromancing.

It's super-balanced, I thought they kept the game fresh by changing items, not heroes (cough, champions). But yeah, seems like it's too balanced and not much fun, for me anyway.

Don't listen to the people telling you to play Drow Ranger, Sniper or Clinkz, you'll just get yelled in games...well, Sniper has been made even more noob friendly lately, but not Drow, she has been made to need some positioning skills to play now and Clinkz can be tricky to pull off.

                                                                                  In my opinion, Viper is the most fool proof hero of all http://dotabuff.com/heroes/viper

I just... LMAO How pathetic can those guys be. Riot seems worse then the actual League community.
