Complete list of dota 2 heroes for beginners

Best Beginner Heroes to Get You Started Playing Dota 2

I’m going to go against the tide here and recommend that new players play carries or cores and lane with experienced support. Whenever I am introducing friends to Dota 2, I always recommend that they pick a carry and come safe lane with me. It is much easier to focus on killing heroes than it is to learn the complexities of setting up fights, ensuring enough vision and detection that the team can make confident decisions on whether or not to engage. Pulling and stacking creeps is harder than it sounds, and requires strict timing and clock management. So here is a curated list of heroes I would suggest to anyone who wants to begin playing Dota. Complete list of dota 2 heroes for beginners

Phantom Assassin

PA has always been a great hero to stomp pubs. With some new buffs in the latest patch, Phantom Assassin is one of the best heroes for new players to start carrying with.
Why Phantom Assassin is a good hero for beginners:
Simple but versatile itemisation.

Why Phantom Assassin is a good hero for beginners:
Very easy to execute (it’s a two button hero after all)
Good counter pick against popular, squishy carries like Sniper, Drow Ranger and Anti Mage.

Wraith King

The king of wraiths or previously known as Skeleton King has always been a staple beginner carry. Often memed for being a one button hero, it’s still powerful and has a fantastic mechanic that stifles rampant feeding: reincarnation.
Why Wraith King is a good hero for beginners:
Different ways to build this carry due to versatile itemisation choices.
Roshan’s new Refresher Orb after 7.07 patch allows for fantastic triple or even quadruple reincarnation plays. The right balance of tankiness and damage dealing.

Sniper

Sniper is one of the most famous heroes with Dota newcomers, and with good reason. He might be a bit too squishy to stand toe-to-toe with other heroes, but that’s not how he’s supposed to be played. Usually a Carry hero (the role designated for dishing out massive damage later in the game), the Sniper is most effective when he’s at a distance from his target.

Why Sniper is a good hero for beginners:
His Take Aim ability lets him strike at enemy heroes and towers from far out of harm’s way.
While his Ultimate, Assassinate, deals extraordinary damage with a mini-stun as a bonus.
Just be sure to avoid close range combat. Sniper’s low health makes him an easy target for opponents who can close the gap.

Bristleback

Not only is he tough to kill, but he can dish out a lot of damage. The more quills he shoots, the stronger he gets, making it a simple process to rack up some serious killing power. If that wasn’t enough, he also moves faster as well! He indeed is a great character to start with, because he’s just so hard to kill even a novice will find it hard to get into a situation they can’t get out of.

Why BristleBack is a good hero for beginners:
His entire gimmick is that he takes considerably less damage from attacks that hit his side or back. He also will automatically unleash quills that damage those hitting him.
Also adding to his ease of use is the fact he only has 2 active abilities, while the other two are passive.

Dota 2 For Beginners – A Complete Gu > Aiza Riaz Butt Last Updated: Aug 22, 2019

The previous blog of the series ‘Dota 2 For Beginners – A Complete Guide’ > ‘How To Install Dota 2’

Introduction To Dota 2

Now I am to introduce you to the real game. The insides of the game. Dota 2 is not a game that comes with tutorials. Once you successfully install and open the game you are as lost as before. So here is a simple Introduction To Dota 2. I will help you identify all its features, where to go, what to do, how to start a Dota 2 game, How many game types are there in Dota 2 etc. Just introducing the main screen of Dota 2.

This is what the Dota 2 main screen looks like.

I have divided the screen into 6 sections and labelled them, so that I may be able to guide you about them separately and clearly.

1. Settings

This is the most important part. Here, as you can see, are all the game controls displayed. You can change them according to your comfort.

Dota 2 is a very complex game you do need a spare mouse for it, as your laptop’s mouse won’t be enough.

2. Friend List

Here are your friends on Dota, with whom you may team up to play.

3. Player’s Profile

This is your player profile. You can change your name accordingly, set a display picture and look at your overall progress. Displayed here are also your ‘Commends’ (A vote of appreciation from other players if you played well in a game).

4.Top Bar

Heroes

You get to choose from a total of about 100 heroes. Each having their unique varieties and abilities to be discovered and learnt individually with time.

Store

Here you can purchase in-game items. For example; props and loading screens etc. Nothing purchased effects the abilities of a hero.

Watch

Here you can watch your previous matches, your friend’s saved matches and top Dota videos from around the global.

Learn

Here you can learn the new game updates which are quite often, get to know about the items and heroes etc.

5. Achievement Box

Here the achievements of you and your friends are displayed. If got a ‘Rampage'(Killing all enemy heroes at once) or had been declared as ‘MVP'(Most Worthed Player) in any game.

6. Play Dota

When you click ‘Play Dota’ the following slider pops in. These are the types of game modes offered by Dota 2.

The first option shown is ‘Custom Lobbies”; In it, you can play against your friends it is private and if you 10 friends online you can team up. 5 members each team and play against one another.

Then comes ‘Practice with Bots’. If you want to play offline, or want to practice a new hero, or just want to experience what an original game feels and looks like without the commitment, you can simply play here against bots.

The real game for which Dota 2 is known is the ‘Unranked’. In this category are subcategories each with different level of difficulty and time span. ‘Turbo’ is the fastest game mode in Dota is thus the most preferred whereas ‘All Pick’ is the longest and a single game can last for hours.

Once you select a game mode, you need to select regions to find opponents in. In the top right corner, right above ‘Find Match’ you can see a small option of ‘Regions’. Click it and the following screen will appear showing the ‘Ping’-Strength of your internet connectivity. Check regions with the best internet connection and start finding a match. Preferably Dubai, India, SE Asia And Europe East work best in Pakistan. You can only select 3 regions.

It will take around 5 minutes to find a match. And as it occurs, the following screen will pop.

Now there is no turning back. Accept it readily within a period of 30 seconds or else you will have to face a penalty. This is how to start a Dota 2 game.

And you successfully started your very first Dota 2, Turbo game.
