Introduction
Dota 2 is a complex game and it can be very confusing for new players. Even after your hundredth game, you may still not know all the information that is displayed on the screen or which items to buy. This guide aims to help beginners improve their skills and increase their enjoyment of the game by learning some basic theory about Dota 2 as well as some essential skills that will help them play better.
1. Don’t forget the map!
- Don’t forget the map!
You can use this tool to see what your teammates are doing. It will help you stay aware of them, so that you know where they are when you need them and make sure to be able to gank their lane in time. It’s also useful for knowing where the enemy is so that you don’t accidentally get caught out by surprise. The minimap is especially useful for locating wards and runes, both of which are crucial parts of Dota 2 strategy (more on this later).
2. Be a good teammate
- Be a good teammate
If you have a bad game, don’t blame your teammates. This is the most common mistake people make and it’s also the worst thing you can do to improve your skills as a player. Blaming others will only cause them to lose confidence in themselves or their abilities and makes them feel worse about their mistakes, which they need to learn from so they can improve their playstyle next time around if they hope to move on in this game at all. Don’t be that guy! Instead try being sympathetic when someone makes mistakes (even if it seems like an obvious one), offer advice on how best to improve on certain aspects of the game, or just keep quiet and focus on what’s going on around you without getting distracted by other things happening elsewhere during gameplay sessions with friends or strangers alike!
When it comes down too it: there are no real “good” players out there except maybe those who are currently trying out for teams like Virtus Pro Gaming Club (VP) because those guys know how important teamwork really is when playing competitively online against other teams from around Europe/America/Asia Pacific regions etcetera! In fact there aren’t even any bad players either—just different styles between each person who plays video games professionally.”
3. Learn the game and become more aware of everything that is happening on the map
After you have a firm understanding of the game and the mechanics, the next step is to be more aware of what’s happening on the map. This means knowing where all of your teammates are at all times, as well as how much gold they have.
If you know that your carry needs some farm, you can go with them and help them take out creep camps in order to get their gold up. If one of your supports needs some items for their ultimate ability so they can initiate fights better (more on this later), then it might be nice if you help out by denying some creeps so they can build up their item count faster!
4. Stay positive and have fun!
The most important thing to remember is that this game is meant to be played with friends. You are not alone, and you shouldn’t feel like you are. Even if you think nobody else in the game can hear your voice, it doesn’t matter: just say it anyway! Play with a group of friends or join a community; make sure everyone knows what they’re supposed to do when they play Dota 2.
As long as your team is having fun and enjoying themselves, then that’s all that matters! This isn’t intended to be serious business; if someone makes a mistake during the game, laugh it off—it happens sometimes!
You can be better at Dota by being a better teammate.

You may think, “But I’m doing my best! What else could I do?” Well, you could try helping others and not being a jerk. You should be giving your team mates space to play, don’t harass them when they make mistakes and try not to be afraid of asking for help. Asking questions about anything is okay too! Sometimes people only need a small push in the right direction before they start improving themselves; don’t hesitate to ask someone if they need assistance with something or even if you can give them some advice on how you handled similar situations in the past.
Conclusion
I hope these tips have been helpful for you. They can be applied to any competitive game, and I think they’re the most important ones out there. If you’re looking to improve your Dota 2 skills, then follow these steps and start being less of a noob!
