If you have any kind of experience with clicky RTS games, or Dota's other competitors, I recommend it.

And if you don't have any experience, I recommend it, although moreso if you can rope in equally inexperienced friends into having a flustercuck party of "WHAT DID I DO AND HOW DO I DO IT AGAIN"

Fun stuff!

So much fun!

My 2 cents is that you should practice against bots for a while, and if you DO play a game with people, try and take any insults on the chin and just mute the abuser. It's MUCH better than going on tilt :)

That being said, he's Purge's updated guide to Dota, really worth the read: https://purgegamers.true.io/g/dota-2-guide/

The only caveat that should probably be added is that the player base is, like most in this genre, just an awful community on average. Best to play with friends on your team if possible.
