    The only reason why im playing dota now is bcoz i played with bunch of friends. If you dont have friends to play to begin with, its highly not recommended.

    In any case, pick 3 starting heroes. I recommend sven, viper and omniknight. Play against bots for 5 hours with each hero. If you cant win a game against easy bots, dont bother playing public games. Learn about using couriers, wards etc.

    Once youre done dominating bots and getting 30 kills, then get ready for hell. Go into a game, when picking heroes, pick sven if you think your team dont have enough melee, pick viper if too much mellee. Dont bother with omni until you cant win anymore coz you realize you need support in your team. Voila... Youre the support, start using omniknight.
    Listen to good people, mute flamers. Gank if they ping the enemy, get back if they cross ping.

    As a DoTA 2 Player I only suggest it if you really want a complex and has full focus on Team Play. Dota 2 7.00 (AKA DoTA 3) has now new mechanics that make it more complex. One of this is the ability tree.

    DoTA 3 now impose an all attribute up every level. Also, when you reach Lvl 10, 15, 20, and 25, there are one of two passive traits that can be chosen each milestone. I'll use Wraith King as an Example:
    On Level 10 you can give WK +10 int or 15 damage.
    On 15, its +50 Wraithfire Blast DPS (One of WK's skills) or +15 Movement speed.
    On 20, +10% Vampiric Aura Life Steal (One of WK's Skills) or +40 attack speed.
    On 25, Reincarnation casts Wraithfire Blast (Both are WK's skills) or No Reincarnation mana cost.
    As I don't play both LoL and HoTS, So I cannot guarantee that what I'm saying is true but, in terms of complexity of each games I'll rank HoTS as lowest since I heard that it has a Levels are equally shared to all players. LoL next since it's mechanics are much more player friendly (or so I've heard). And DoTA 2 at the highest since it is much more complicated game compared to the two.

    Now what do I recommend. Honestly if I don't have a steam account, I would rather play LoL since DoTA is too hard for me to play. Lots of team work needed yet your team doesn't "work" and if they do, it's solo work.

    MOBAs are only fun when you're winning. If you're a decent player and have a 50/50 win loss rate, you're probably not having fun half of the time. If that's the kind of thing you're into, then go for it.

    I used to play dota but now, I'm just enjoying the arcade of dota 2 which is the community's modded content.

    I play it pretty often, its a good time to start now because the Internationals are coming ;3
    But you need to be mentally prepared for people raging and flaming you or the team for being a noob.
    Once that's done, just see whether you enjoy the game or not.

    So I started playing lol played like a few games with bots ranked up then started PvP. Well to be quite truthful, I don't have the time to play 40 minute games so this moba genre might not be for me.
    Just going to play some dirty bomb and overwatch now. Of you guys know some good mmorpg please tell me their names too. Thanks.
