Hello, I’m a League of Legends player since 2016, but started with MOBAs with Dota 1 before that. I want to start playing Dota 2 since I got bored of League, but I know Dota is at least 30 times harder than League. Any advice on how I should approach the game as a newcomer? What should I do for starters, and what should I avoid?
If it makes it easier, I remember I used to play Vengeful Spirit and Rubick in Dota 1, and I am a support main in League. Thank you in advance! (And sorry for my bad english, I’m not native)
TL/DR: Use the links here as a set of starting guides, and let’s talk so I can teach you the basics.
Welcome to Dota! I coach league -> dota transfers and visitors ALLL the time, free of course! Come join a dota server with a bunch of other people from league learning dota, LINK HERE
To get you started on your own though, please take a look at my COMPARISON SERIES ON YOUTUBE
And, while you are at it, why not check out the QUICK START GUIDE. I would actually say that this should be your first stop, since I cover almost everything you need to know for a fast start… well, everything that the tutorials might not cover alone. Still, do most of the 3 minute tutorials, they are pretty good!
@ me in the discord group for help and questions, check out the learn dota channel and stuff
Hmm… a few more links , to get you up to date with some beginner heroes:
LIST OF LEAGUE FRIENDLY DOTA GUIDES
My LoL - Dota translator app. Works both ways. Rarely updated, but still waaaay more up to date than the dotabuff website of learn/lol .
APP LINK
Let me know if you see something that needs an update right away. I don’t remember if I added muerta either.
GOOD LUCK!

TY for being a fan!
