I've heard a lot about it. What should I be expecting?

Shit Dota. The reason for its tremendous popularity is two fold: first, the fact it is a [b][u]free to play[/u][/b] game made it extremely popular in Asian markets (which is huge), and two, it has a much lower learning curve than Dota making it more accessible. I've put about ~200 hours into Dota 2 and barely know how to play a sixth of the available heroes and I would say that I still suck at the game. Regardless of where you go though, MOBA communities are particularly toxic, so be prepared for that. If you suck, people will feel no restraint in making you know that through colorful language.

Literally the worst community on the internet. As for the game... Well I got sick of League before Dota 2 came out, but that game seems to be rapidly gaining popularity (however it's much harder than LoL apparently), so it's worth trying as well.

Edited by Zoid: 11/14/2013 4:48:52 AMNice timing, you're joining right after the season ended so you'll be able to experience the changes without being overwhelmed quickly. After you get past the shitty, vocal minority, you'll see how much fun you can have with the people around you. TBH, I love the LoL community and Riot Games is probably one of my favorite companies next to XSEED and Atlas. They do so much for the community, which is what really makes me love them.

League just teased the next champion today, looks like they are breaking into the Wandering Ronin archetype.
-
DOTA 2 That is all
-
Expect people screaming GO MID or RUSH MID!!!!!!!!!!!!! And an overall horrible community... Really it's that piss pore
-
expect to be frustrated at times but have an overall great experience :)
-
Expect a somewhat annoying community( every game will have that one angry guy who criticizes you, but that disappears a lot at higher levels.) You could also join the Bungie chat room if you need advice or etc.
-
Dota for life
-
Cancel it. Download Dota 2. You're welcome.
-
You should expect to kill yourself for playing such a game
-
From the videos I've seen, a community worse than the population of Call of Duty. I didn't even think it was possible to be that shitty.
-
Worst. "Community". Ever.
-
ask people questions if you dont know or dont understand things. Theyll give you well informed, friendly advice to help you.

once when i dies someone accused me of being a fish. Apparently the only explanation was that i had fins for hands thats why i couldnt survive. I was soon told to uninstall the game and never play until i had my fins replaced with hands. Now i play fizz just to piss people off
