Hello,

I came across DOTA Noobs recently in my search for a newbie-friendly DOTA community. I was hanging out in the Greenhorns LFG channel yesterday and managed to find a few people to play games with me. It was a positive experience so I plan to stick around.

I am a long-time gamer with special interest in team-oriented strategic (mostly FPS but some MMORPG) games, new to the MOBA scene. I started playing DOTA regularly within the last two months and have been really enjoying it, especially when matched with friends or friendly, communicative players. I watched most of TI3 and have been reading up on mechanics as I would like to take my game beyond the novice level.

I usually tend to play hard support for my DOTA-playing friends and pub matches. I'm comfortable playing semi-carry or middle with a few characters I know well enough to play intelligently. I like to play different characters and positions when the opportunities present themselves, as I feel this experience leads to being a well-rounded, versatile player. All this to say I'd like to be a flexible team player but I lack experience at this point.

I look forward to playing with you soon.

Hey jmlane!

My, that was a very professional-sounding introductory post! If there was a job going, I'd have hired you

Awesome that you're enjoying Dota 2, TI3 shows some of the best players in the world strutting their e-peens, and it can be incredibly motivational. You're right about DN being a friendly community - we're all here to help and have some fun. If you want some games, feel free to add some of the regular posters/hierarchical members of the community, or just get on the TeamSpeak server we have, and start gaming!

Enjoy!

Cheers Bandit. I will likely hop on TS when I am free and idle in the LFG channel. Soliciting folks at random is less my style, so please pull me into a game if you see me idling and you can tolerate a feeder in your games.

It was nice meeting you / playing with you the other day! We need more supports around here.

It's pretty hilarious that the first person you really interacted with was Fallen, as he's a bit of a madman.

Indeed Jaffa!

He seemed pretty friendly and reasonable to me... Maybe I'm equally crazy.

HEY

Rule #790- Don't make fun of Fallen. WILD CAR BITCHES #road2ti4

Hi. Welcome !

Fallen is indeed a madman, but of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde variety. BEWARE, and welcome.
