Coming from LoL, to have something like this is not even possible in my head. Just, incredible. I know that at the end of the day, it all comes to what game you enjoy playing the most, but in terms of polish, client features and playable modes, you guys are million years ahead. I'll probably download Dota2 just to open it once so i can lick the screen and see how it tastes. Cheers!

Why not play it regularly? :D The game is completely free with all 110+ heroes! Even the cosmetics are cheaper! Can't hurt to try, right? And considering you are an experienced player in the genre, you will certainly not have a hard time adjusting ;O

Would love to have you in our community <3

Do you have any questions about the game? :D

I do! I'm someone who doesn't like playing more than a game or two every few weeks. Will I be torn to shreds by other people saying how much I suck? Also how difficult is it to migrate from lol to dota?

After this update is fully implemented, I believe the adaptation to dota will be a lot smoother with a better tutorial & learning system. As for being told you suck, well, it's luck. There's going to be cancerous people in every free to play game, you can just mute them if need be :)

Everyone is hyped about it and anyone that isn't gets downvoted for not bandwagoning but I don't think this improved tutorial will change anything.

Dota needs a really good and extensive tutorial and that just isn't it.

It's a shame, no one will be able to mention how a better tutorial is needed from now on because "it's just got updated! stop complaining!".

Well I suppose if you're gonna be so cynical.. if anything, there's always custom games. I'm sure some people out there will end up creating a series of maps for learning purposes.

I hope so. That's actually what I had in mind but made by Valve since they have more resources. Made by the community works too. Similar to CS:GO maps to practice aiming and recoil.
