@@GamingDualities whoa there calm down bro, he talked about how the intro was good and how he reassured people later in the video so he clearly watched it.
This is seriously the best guide I've found about this game ever. Thanks for the slides and not shying away from explaining a role to beginner's. Every other guide I've found just says "you're new it doesn't matter"... here I can actually gain an understanding, even if basic, about the role I'm placed in.
I love how every other role has all of these technical elements as to why you might like to play them and Offlane is basically just: "You thrive on the pain and misery of other people. Here little Timmy; have a hammer: go ruin that other kids day"
The last part spoke straight from my soul. I started playing with friends and they pretty much pushed me into the support role because they didnt want me to lose as a Core position. After that they flamed me for not warding.
Awesome beginner guide. I`m playing pos4-5 99% of the time and since 5+ years. I really love community-teamplayer like you. YOU, Slacks & Co. are gonna help many new and lower-bracket players. Thanks for that, stay safe, enjoy your life and gl for your future. :)
You all probably dont care but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
I have never in my life played dota, but I’ve played many adjacent team games and especially related mobas like Smite and League. I cannot tell you why I came across this video or clicked on it, but this is honestly one of the best informative game videos I think I know of. The clarity and openness to starting dota is really nice to see in gaming. I honestly am considering playing it after seeing this because of how clearly you explained how the roles work. I typically come from a background of playing both hard carry type roles (bot lane in league/adc in smite) but being able to contextualize why I play those roles and where they fit into the granddaddy of mobas is really enlightening. I honestly am considering picking up pos4 or 2 when I decide to start dota now Bc I’ve become more of a leader role in other team games I’ve picked up since moving on from league and smite. Overall I am super grateful the algorithm gave me this video
This game is so overwhelming for new players, and so many people trying to describe it for new players seem to forget how much information we need to begin learning. You did a great job, this was so easy to follow. TYSM!
I had a tough time to find a proper introduction with a likeable presenter, but I finally found one. Thank you for this video and all the other videos that I'm surely gonna watch.
Subbed to you. I love how passionate you are and you really sold me into giving this game another try. It was so daunting when I first attempted years ago. Now I'll be more confident about it, thanks to you!
Very helpful! Do you recommend playing against bots as a beginner? Because every unranked game I play, people flame me, so I feel like I should get practice in AI games first
Yeah, I think playing bot games is a good way to get into the game and cover some basics! It's not perfect, but I think you can at least get familiar with the game if you're brand new. And honestly learning how to beat the highest difficulty of bots will mean you have a starting threshold of skills to use against real players
So in comparison to League: Hard Carry - Assasins/Bruisers/AD carries Offlaner - Juggernaut/Skirmishers Midlaners - AP carries Hard Support - Enchanters/Wardens Soft Support - Junglers/Vanguards
Awesome guide, well explained, nice screenshots, easy to understand. Your last tip was the best tip by far…let the new players go core and have fun. Its simpler and more engaging. Cant fault your video mate, good work.
The main thing that just looks off from this is that the hard carry will be against 2 supports, so surely they will get stomped all game and give the carry a lot of farm. Doesn't this create massive issues? who would want to be an off-laner when your job is basically I guess last hit your own minions to try your best to stop the carry from funneling, and the 2 palyers on the most important roles for carrying never interact until after laning. And if 1 of the people in the off-lane tends to roam you then have 1 support soloing a hard carry and I'm guessing somebody with CC, so they'll be camping under tower the whole game.
League of Legends player here. After watching this video, I am just going to take a look at DOTA 2's Hero roster and pick whichever one I think looks the coolest and jump into one of the sidelanes and just play. Wish me luck
My friend recently introduced me to dota, and he's been so good at helping me become better. We usually play single draft (my choice) i think its pretty fun and i believe that it helps me learn more heroes. He always made me go for a carry hero at first and he used to ward and pull and stack and help me farm. However, ive started liking supporting more and im enjoying the game a lot. So ya guess i got a helpful friend (:
Holy that buyback on beastmaster is so big brain wtf. He was close to roar, early game so cheap buyback, wave is pushed, void is nearby, huge wave with xp that beast will miss if he wait. Massive brain play lol.
In my opinion support players are very knowledgeable about the game mechanics and very versatile role. There are numerous of times that support players are giving the enemy team a hard time during clash and farming due to they can spam skills and itema lls during clash plus they do warding and dewarding for both offensive and defensive
In league you also have to farm for at least 20 minutes if you play the carry, but people just dont understand how important farming is so your adc is useless most of the time, this is way better, funneling gold into one person.
My last game was in 2015 lmao. Just getting interested in the mechanics in case I play again, but I don't think I will be for now. I played this before I got into League, but as a league player, I guess I'll get the hang of it after some time.
I would check out DotaBuff or Dota2ProTracker to see what builds people are doing. Item builds are pretty flexible in Dota, but if you are starting out the game, you can just follow a standard build to get going.
Thank you!!! Dota has a major learning curb! And most people do not know how to explain the fame from scratch for people who don't even know the basics. You are awesome 💙 you break down the basics so nicely! Following you just because of this video alone 🤗
the way you presented the information in this video really made me want to play this game even more than the anime did (ill try core roles first but i wanna be support 4/5 )
I’m brand new coming from league and I’m having a hard time grasping when it’s okay to jungle and not. You put 4 in the jungle but called it soft support _ would I stand off to the side letting the off laner soak more than me? Is there a list of which champion is which for positions?
In regards to jungling, jungling in the League sense of the word is generally considered bad for at least the first 10 minutes on supports. Enigma might do it, but most of your pub games would not be familiar with that strategy and you might not do so well. Chen, Enchantress, Doom, and sometimes Crystal Maiden might spend a bit of time killing jungle creeps or controlling them as they go about other things, but they wouldn't dedicate consecutive minutes to it. It's like a brief moment as they do other things. Instead of jungling like in LoL, supports will do pulls to control lane equilibrium. This denies your creeps to the enemy, but then you also get a chance to get the last hit on the jungle creeps for gold/xp. If you're new to the game, my advice is to treat the 4 position very similarly to the 5 position. You'll play in the lane like a 5 support, trying to give a bit more experience to the offlaner than yourself. Harass the enemy heroes, if the 5 support tries to pull you go and stop them. You are more likely to go roam and help your midlaner (or even your own safelane), whereas 5 supports tend to stay in their own lane a bit more. I don't know of an exact list of heroes for each role, sorry :( Dota is pretty flexible, so that list would be constantly going through small adjustments
So what im understanding is... The HARD CARRY (1) is the baby and the HARD SUPPORT (5) is the babysitter protecting the baby until it grows to be a big strong carry. The MID (2) is the father allowing the family to progress and set up everyones future. The OFFLANER (3) is the big brother who is usually a bully but shows some support once and a while. And the SOFT SUPPORT (4) is the mother who protects and helps everyone in the family.
Been watching some dota channels recently. Only subscribed to you, even before finishing the video. You have such a pleasant and simple narration. And joy :-)
i'm trying to get into dota 2 and have watched a couple of different guides trying to wrap my head around the different roles. this is by far the easiest one to understand imo. thank you for this!! i'm definitely going to try the different roles to see which one i like best.
Thanks man!! after years on Dota at 52 now, I just learned this.. now I think I can move from all pick to Ranked and understand what role to play better. God Bless you
Thanks for the video, this was very helpful! I stopped playing dota back in 2014 so I kinda dropped off at all, so it was very good to refresh the memory to jump back in. Also, love from another support player
i'm low 1k mmr and i have played 16,000 matches yet i dont know what is pos lol. I dont play rank because im kinda toxic and easily gets angry so i usually play unranked for fun. Thanks for the explaination, now i get to know a little more knowledge about roles and pos. I play Axe, Clinkz and techies .
Decent guide but there are some VERY important things missing, such as: 1. pick hard carry last, because you dont want enemy to hard counter you even before the game begin 2. if you dont play in a party, it's recommended to pick strong lane dominators, tanky units or units with escape mechanics so you dont end up getting killed over and over again. I find these 2 points VERY important for new players, because they often end up dying a lot, thinking it's their team fault for not protecting them.
Just downloaded this game yesterday. You're right, I'm new to the game. Just be new! If smurfs have a problem with me "ruining" their matches then maybe don't smurf. Go to your elo on your main account. Thanks for this, you made me laugh and also took away my anxiety.
thanks for this vid, it was super helpful! i don’t even play dota (somehow my computer is so shit it can’t even do that) but my bf is really into it and i want to know some terminology so i can at least understand what he’s talking abt lol
I am coming from LoL so picking up this beast of a moba that seems so yhe same but is totally different is kinda scary. Thanx to this guide i am can try it out with a bit of confidence. I am kinda sad there is no jungle role as thats usually my main role in LoL... Well back to support I guess.
23:30. I play a lot of league. A coworker was just trying to explain the concept of pulling to me for like 30 minutes. Y'all baby the hell out of your carries and bust your humps as supports dear god. I had to spend 30 minutes explaining to him that we do literally nothing for our carries because that's what is most helpful. Don't ask them to go to the jg or roam. Don't hit minions let them manage the wave. Supports are there to get hit instead, or sit on the enemy while the carry hits them.
My good sir... you created a work of art and science here with this video, well done. Your explanations are true, easy to understand and straight to the point, thanks!
I'm from league and TFT yup its fun and cool to play league but sometimes it getting boring specially in support role because our job is to take care a useless carry but soft support description fit my playstyle hope this game give me the hype like the dota1 gives me 😊😊
while it is easy to explain the core role, unfortunately, the yo just get last hits part, will be almost impossible for new players to do. it is however not impossible to tell and get a vengeful spirit to right click the other carry while not letting there own health go low and cast stun when you, the carry, are close.
good video. too bad dota is shit at matchmaking and puts me into norm games at level 1 against level 800's every fucking game so i cant learn shit or get rewards so i have to resort to bots where i learn even less mechanically
I've got some experience with DOTA 2, but I think that this video has *a lot* of great information and I'll certainly watch your other videos on the new player stuff.
One thing I don't understand about this guide (awesome guide btw) is when you show the do's, enable's, and stop's some of the roles have a do and a stop on the same like row of buttons so could someone elaborate?
It's hard to generalize a game as complicated as Dota, so don't take these as hard rules. Let's take farming as an example. A mid hero like Storm Spirit wants to farm for himself. However, by choosing to farm on the enemy's half of the map, he could try to steal farm from the enemy, thereby reducing the enemy's farm while getting his own. Or he might choose to stop farming to get a kill. If he can kill the enemy carry, that would be great to stop them from farming. You are never only doing one thing in Dota. Trying to choose plays that accomplish multiple goals is the ideal plan usually
You're not wrong! IO is more common to see in the position 4 or 5 role, but it's possible to do core IO. It used to be really strong, and it's still technically viable but extremely uncommon. Visage goes between being a support or a core. Right now it's more common to see him as a midlaner though to get levels quickly and start killing people with his ultimate
picking a role does nothing, no matter what u do, ur support will steal farm, not buy wards, not pull, not pick up gold runes, wont play the lane he is supposed to be in, not pick anything other than a carry or do anything else that has do with the things a support should do, no one will ban him and everyone will expect all of those things from u when u play support, and that is then called reality, or the difference between theory and practice, gl hf
This video game is harder than school exams.
Lo juego hace 15 años

Thank you! Welcome to the game!
@@danielandres1407 Definitely did not last long. DOTA is bad for everyone's life.

I’d like to get the full dota experience by playing 10 mins once a week, how do I do that?
it's difficult , an average dota 2 match lasts 1 hour
You can also try TURBO mode in the arcade it can last for at least 30 mins
I didn't think you'd get on the tutorial mod but I saw you on there today! Sick dude
Yeah, I'm excited to be there! They did a great job with it!
Awesome guide, well explained, nice screenshots, easy to understand. Your last tip was the best tip by far…let the new players go core and have fun. Its simpler and more engaging. Cant fault your video mate, good work.
I'm not going to lie... this is the BEST guide/tutorial I've seen on TH-cam. Great work!
Tbh, Im a returning player. Last I played is around 2014. Man this game change so much. Good guide btw.
Boy, I came back from 2017 and I think your statement will need an update after 7.36 😅
This is so perfect. The way you taught was excellent thank you.

DOTA 2 now days has so much changes since first release. Its not only about carry and supports anymore lol
In my opinion support players are very knowledgeable about the game mechanics and very versatile role. There are numerous of times that support players are giving the enemy team a hard time during clash and farming due to they can spam skills and itema lls during clash plus they do warding and dewarding for both offensive and defensive

How does the item works Like the build path on certain hero’s
League is getting boring so time to switch things up

Why am I watching this if I've been playing for 12 years? I don't know, but great video anyways! Very useful to bring more people to the dark side.
23:30.
I play a lot of league. A coworker was just trying to explain the concept of pulling to me for like 30 minutes. Y'all baby the hell out of your carries and bust your humps as supports dear god.

I don't know why i'm watching this. This all seems pretty useless since i'm playing at the legendary SEA server 😂😂
I've been playing since DOTA1 days.
idk what I'm doing here lol
My good sir... you created a work of art and science here with this video, well done. Your explanations are true, easy to understand and straight to the point, thanks!
Dang when I was playing Dota 1 as a Warcraft mod there's only 3 positions Tank, Carry and Support.
I'm from league and TFT yup its fun and cool to play league but sometimes it getting boring specially in support role because our job is to take care a useless carry but soft support description fit my playstyle hope this game give me the hype like the dota1 gives me 😊😊
The video my HERALD teammates won't watch
Now I just need ppl to play with. All the friends are casual, hate dota, or out of my rank range.
I know this vid is old but THERE IS NO JUNGLER ROLE IN DOTA 2
I didn't know Michael V plays Dota 2
Is this still applicable this 2023? The last time I played dota 2 was way back 2019.
Can you explain the roles of the extra gayness of the graphics and animations of Dota 2?
while it is easy to explain the core role, unfortunately, the yo just get last hits part, will be almost impossible for new players to do. it is however not impossible to tell and get a vengeful spirit to right click the other carry while not letting there own health go low and cast stun when you, the carry, are close.
good video. too bad dota is shit at matchmaking and puts me into norm games at level 1 against level 800's every fucking game so i cant learn shit or get rewards so i have to resort to bots where i learn even less mechanically
I've got some experience with DOTA 2, but I think that this video has *a lot* of great information and I'll certainly watch your other videos on the new player stuff.
subscribed because i want to dedicate myself learning pos5
I wish I saw that guide when I was a newbie! Woulda saved a lot of people a lot of nerves lol 😂

However, by choosing to farm on the enemy's half of the map, he could try to steal farm from the enemy, thereby reducing the enemy's farm while getting his own. Or he might choose to stop farming to get a kill. If he can kill the enemy carry, that would be great to stop them from farming. You are never only doing one thing in Dota. Trying to choose plays that accomplish multiple goals is the ideal plan usually
hi, i'm a fairly new player, i don't get why io and visage were shown on POS 2, they totally feel like a POS 5 to me
You're not wrong! IO is more common to see in the position 4 or 5 role, but it's possible to do core IO. It used to be really strong, and it's still technically viable but extremely uncommon.

amazing how to learn, thank you
picking a role does nothing, no matter what u do, ur support will steal farm, not buy wards, not pull, not pick up gold runes, wont play the lane he is supposed to be in, not pick anything other than a carry or do anything else that has do with the things a support should do, no one will ban him and everyone will expect all of those things from u when u play support, and that is then called reality, or the difference between theory and practice, gl hf
Ugh too real
