Cheers and welcome!

Hey hey, welcome to the community. Solo queue can indeed be frustrating, but just a fair warning that queuing with some people on Doobs can be frustrating in a different way. There is a wide variation in skill, so some games you may be matched against people that are significantly better than you. Trial by fire definitely gets the blood flowing, though. :-D

+1 for the snuffles announcer pack, and a big warm welcome to Kollin. YOU ARE OFFICIALLY ADOPTED! (please don't cry)

Hey there and welcome. We do have our fair share of competitively minded people, but remember that the first rule of dota noobs is no rage. Or at least little rage. Jump on our TeamSpeak server, join a busy channel and introduce yourself!

Hey hey, welcome to the community. The best way to get connected is to hop on our TeamSpeak server, join a busy channel and introduce yourself. Cheers!

Welcome to the community mate!

Hey there! A good number of us were in the same position a while back, so this is the right place to be. I can play a few co-op bot matches with you if you want some additional pointers. Otherwise, jump on TS3 and let people know that you are new and if we can get you together with some other fairly new people that should get you some good games in. We also run IHs on Sundays, so be sure to check those out. Cheers!

As fallen said, still jump on TS3 and sit in the channel. We have several people that either type all the time or when something is going on (family, etc), but still being able to hear other people is quite useful. Cheers!

Hey hey, welcome to the community!

Welcome to the community! We do have a fairly large EU base, and are moving our Sunday IHs to a better time to accomodate that so you should have no problems. Cheers!

Yup, as Alverez said jump on TS3! Let people know you are new and looking for lots of friendly advice and there should be no issues. You can also find people with C for coaching badges or DN for staff that could give you a bit more help. For example, if you want to grab a few co-op bot games with me to get a bit more comfortable just let me know. Cheers!

My favorite metal is titanium. It also sounds like you would be a perfect fit for our periodic Bear Force One strategy involving a lvl 1 rosh followed by a push straight down mid. Welcome!

Like everyone is saying, jump on our TeampSpeak server (voice.dotanoobs.com) and introduce yourself. That is where the majority of the action occurs. Cheers!

Howdy! There are quite a few new people joining, and our regular members span all skill ranges so you should have no trouble finding a good group to play with. The best bet is to jump on our TeamSpeak server (voice.dotanoobs.com), join a busy channel and introduce yourself. If you are feeling really new, feel free to ask me and other staff/coaches to play a co-op bot game with you for some confidence boosting pointers. Cheers!

You have just been doing it wrong. You don't poop on the deck, you poop over the edge.

You guys do realize that I have this guy on my team, right?

Welcome to the community! We play almost exclusively on USE since we have quite a few European members and it seems the best middle ground for ping. If you want to play a few co-op bot games together and get some general pointers, just let me know. Otherwise, jump on our TS3 server, join a busy channel and introduce yourself. We have a Looking for Group (LFG) channel for people under 150 wins to help make sure you don't end up getting matched against really good people (party MMR is heavily skewed towards the top member of the party) but if you feel like trial by fire go for it. Cheers!

Hey hey! If you are looking for some advice I would be willing to play a few co-op bot games with you and your friend. Cheers!

Hey hey, always good to see someone trying to give back to the community. Welcome!

Welcome! Quite a few new people are joining the community, so hopefully we can get you guys partied up for some good games. I've offered to play a few co-op bot games with the other new guys, so if that is something you are interested in let me know.
