Still mulling over if I should buy it now or not. Since this beta doesn't have an NDA, it might be better to wait until it's been out for like a day or so to get a sense of what everyone thinks. >_>

What kind of heroes are there?
DotA has all manner of heroes! The diversity of skills the various heroes employ is something to be commended. It would be quite impossible to go into them all here, but you can slake your thirst for knowledge at this link, if you want. http://www.playdota.com/heroes To give a brief idea, though, there are three main types of heroes, Strength, Agility, and Intelligence based. Going a step further, DotA heroes occupy various "roles", parts they play in contributing to the team. The importance of teamwork in DotA cannot be stressed enough, so be sure you're aware of your hero's role! What are these roles? Remember to keep your shoes on at all times... wait, that's something different. DotA's roles include the following: Carry - The importance of the carry in a DotA match can't be understated. By their nature, carries tend to start off fairly weak, but as they gain levels and items, they become unbelievably powerful. Back up your carry in the early/mid game, and watch them smite your foes in the late game! Support - Support heroes, predictably, play a support role. Their job is to place wards around the map, heal their allies, stun their enemies, aid in setting up ganks, and other such things. Ganker - These bad boys are dedicated to making the enemy team miserable. Gankers tend to start off quite strong in the early game, and it's their job to practice general deathdealing upon the enemy team, though especially on their carry, to prohibit them from becoming strong. These definitions are a GROSS simplification, but as you play you'll notice very quickly how a team is supposed to function. Remember, a team that slays together stays together! This sounds awesome, where can I start playing? Ah, there's the rub. Unfortunately, DotA 2 isn't out yet! The game is currently in it's beta phase. We are rapidly approaching an open beta, however, as invites are being sent out every day now. To make it even better, everyone who is invited by Valve gets two guest invites for their friends! If you haven't already, follow this link (it opens in Steam) and take the survey. steam://takesurvey/1/ The questions are kinda silly, so just fake it if you must! The important thing is that you submit it, because that's the only way to get an invite! When does the game come out? We don't know! Valve/Icefrog have stated that the plan is to stay in beta until the game is insanely polished, but past a point let everyone play it as it develops. The game is updated every Thursday with balance changes and usually new heroes, so for now just kick back and enjoy it.

(Though you should probably read Purge's guide as well, just to be safe!) http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/610657-dota-2/61432107 What is DotA? Well, good sir, DotA is the alpha and the omega of the League of Legends/HoN variety of games! All games in the genre sprung from it, and so too shall the genre return to it upon DotA 2's release. DotA is a team oriented game, in which two teams of 5 players face off against eachother. Each player takes control of one of 104 unique heroes, and face off against eachother on a large battlefield, assisted by waves of computer controlled monsters called "creeps". The two teams, the Radiant and the Dire, each have a base: Radiant in lower left, Dire in the upper right. There are three "lanes" connecting the bases, with towers guarding the road to victory. Each team must push these lanes, with the ultimate goal of breaching the enemy team's base and destroying their Ancient, granting them victory. -- Falcon Punch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw |
