Yet again, correct me if I'm wrong, I think 6,000,000$ is already the highest prize pool up until now in eSports.
Let's see though. If the community supports it, it might get bigger than the 2nd highest prize pool that has been reached in eSports so far
On a serious note though, I think with this new stretch goal we have the highest prize pool yet

and hats
These new stretch goals are pretty nice, especially the favorite hero challenge. I'd love to see Spectre or something get a new voice pack as well, despite her being my favorite hero. Wouldn't mind seeing older heroes like Viper, SF or Zeus get new models as well (I swear to god I will shed tears if people vote for Pudge on all of these and valve obliges to it, he gets enough attention already imo). Updated creep models are badly needed too.Sonatora wrote:

Personally, I'd start off on heroes like crystal maiden or lion, and support the more experienced players until you can get a good feel for the game. You can also queue up with coaches in this game which is extremely helpful, as they are able to draw on your screen, ping your UI and talk directly to you while you play, great learning tool for new players, feel free to add me if you'd like to try that.Miyu wrote:

Good point, CM is super squishy and dies a lot. Her skillset and tools are very straight forward though, and you help your team just by skilling up her aura.Remco32 wrote:

Lich, Warlock, Lion, Shadow Shaman are quite simple supports.

"Get good" is wtf? Remco? So they're supposed to get to 5k MMR in <1 year so they can finally get out of "their own skill level" hell? I'm playing on 5k+ and there's still flamers everywhere, it's just a russian thing.Remco32 wrote:

As for the community, yeah, it can be volatile. Your best bet is to just ignore the ragers, and take the productive criticism/advice that nicer players give (they do exist!).

Essentially Miyu, to join a match with a coach all you have to do is invite whomever you want coaching you, into your party and queue up with them set as a coach (little check box above the party group icons).Miyu wrote:

Play easy heroes such as Sven, Juggernaut, Dragon Knight, Death Prophet. Once you get the hang of DotA, you can play semi-hard heroes such as Phantom Assasin, Terrorblade, and many others. Just, please, dont play Invoker. Just dontMiyu wrote:

is that MMR from the ranked match? if it's a ranked match i haven't played enough to get the rating because i usually play pub (too lazy to change it to ranking)Remco32 wrote:
Your MMR rating.
Yes, her ulti deals massive damage, but you are slow and have no healthpool so you die without much trouble. And since a new player will be out of position all the time you will probably feed a lot.
add shit heroes like : easy: Riki , Drow Ranger , Bloodseeker , Viper , Sniper (oh shit from your list i can't / seldom play all those easy heroes)Sonatora wrote:

I meant those who are sitting in front of your fountain waiting for us to respawn because they want to get more kills even though the ancient is so exposed. Never experienced this in LAN Dota 1 with my friends. Sorry for the confusion.Remco32 wrote:

Overestimating. Maybe I'm decent but I'm still new to Dota 2 (not dota 1). I can't even play ranked yet so I don't know if this will mean anything later. Not to mention I suck at other heroesSonatora wrote:
