Dota 2 starter tips.

Few things that I always tell myself when I play dota 2. Wait for others to choose hero first because I will always try to balance the hero in the team so the team has at least 1 tanker, 1 initiator, 1 carry and 1 support. 

For those who wanted to win the game, you will need to learn how to use more heroes instead of 1 or 2 heroes only. If you only know how to use phantom assassin and spectre, then you are only playing as carry hero. Which mean if 2 or 3 of your teammate had chosen some other carry heroes like phantom lancer and stealth assassin, then it will be a very hard game if you are still using carry heroes. 

So for starter, here are some tips.

1. Play few games with bot to practice different type of heroes first. If you want to stick with one or two heroes only, i will suggest you try support or ganking hero. Most of the time will be intelligent hero like lina, lion and crystal maiden. Its because more players on steam are playing carry heroes.

2. If you died too much time but don't want to be scold "noob", then you should start buy ward and ward the map at some certain good location depending on how the game goes. If you are pushing the way in, try to ward at their jungle, if you had been pushed hard by enemy, you may want to ward your own jungle to avoid being ganked by enemy heroes.

3. Must have teleportation scroll in your item list. You may need to teleport immediately to your teammate when they are in trouble. Which mean, keep alert on where is your teammate and are they being chased by enemy hero.

4. If you are a support hero, don't scare to die to save the carry hero. But not throwing your life away in battle carelessly. Try to stall the enemy hero as long as possible until help arrive or until your carry hero get away successfully.

5. Denying creeps is very important in reducing enemy gold and lane control. Learn more about it. Will write a more detailed post about it soon.

6. Watch some youtube replay on how to combo your skill with other heroes on your own team. Sometimes the order of skill used will cause the whole game.
