I just got into the beta for DOTA 2, but am a complete noob to this type of game as my buddy just introduced me to LoL. Do you guys reccomend any starter guides that cover the basics for the game and the interface? At the store part there is a donkey courier and I have no idea why he's there. Don't get me wrong, donkeys are great but this one doesn't talk.

Lol! Donkeys are for transporting items to your hero while laning.

dotafire.com is a good place to start reading guides.

You have to take their survey tool from steam and if lucky you may get a key.

Oh, can whoever owns this post get rid of my first submission? (Aiur is my Steam community ID, not account ID) Thanks!

Playdota.com has some good guides, not sure if there's any specific dota 2 guides though. The courier is to carry items from store to your hero so you don't have to walk back every time you need to shop.

Sorry for the bump. I created a DotA2 thread cuz I couldn't find one that currently existed and then the OP here redirected me to here.

Anyways, my steam ID is steadylurkin. Add me and let's play some games!

Currently, I like playing as OD. It's nice during team fights to have 3 stacks of the astral imprisonment buff and then ulti the hell outta the other team. Really shifts the game, especially late game.

Anyone play Spirit Breaker? I've kind of grown an interest in playing him after spectating some matches with him and going against some good SB players, but there were some guides I read that you'll lose more games with him than win.

Spirit breaker is pretty good and i have a good win % with him. Make sure you maximize the empowering haste (skill 2) in the beginning that will give you a huge advantage in last hitting as well as early fights (with 1 level of greater bash). But beware that when u play sb, the team expects you to initiate fights or gank coz a bassive sb is useless.
