Hey everyone! I played a bit of the original DotA, but only ever with bots, so that's a poor education right there.
 As for DotA 2, I've had a few games with two friends, but just with hard bots. I've tried the co-op bot matches too but have been too intimidated to try anything other than the easy mode... and you know how that goes. What all this boils down to is that I have practically no experience in decent team fighting. Thankfully there are tons of YouTube game casts to watch, but I really want to learn more from application. This looks like the perfect place to start with that, so I hope I can learn and have fun with you all. I'll try to figure out how the TeamSpeak thing works since that seems to be the first step, from what everyone's saying. Cheers! EDIT: By the way, my Steam/DotA ID is also looneyticks.

Welcome to our noble establishment - there's rather a lot to learn, but any of the coaches on TS3 will be more than happy to work with you to develop any aspect of the game.
ADDITIONALLY - I find that a favourable view on explosions definately helps to build Teamfight spirit/character/cheese. |

Hi guys, thanks for the nice welcome.
I've managed to play one game with a few other doobs and predictably fed in grand fashion. I've noticed that new members come in every so often, but I don't see too many people in TeamSpeak. Do you guys still do total noob inhouses like you used to? I'm thinking maybe a lot of the newcomers are too intimidated to ask for a game, and maybe having a few scheduled once/a few times a week would get more people to play together. Maybe it could be something like they sign up for a specific schedule or what, and that way all "slots" in a scheduled game would be filled. I don't know. Also, major points for effort on that pun. I won't even try to make one for yours--I can't even pronounce it. Explosions are great, unless it's from enemy fire and you're stunned under it with not even a wand. |

Well i have the bad habit of only going on ts when i have a group... But i'll get over it sometime soon. Why do people never get how to say this: Sipkenop it's a C for a specific reason But this is the way to say it

Looney, yes there are usually inhouses every Sunday at 2PM EST. Some nights are larger than others on TS3, depending on who is playing what.

Getting enough super new guys scheduled for a learning IH can be a bit difficult, but is something that we have done in the past and should do again. If you are looking for some confidence building co-op bot games though, just add me on Steam and I'll play a few with you and give some pointers. Cheers!

Yes I can see what's wrong. No I can't fix it.

Greetings! I may be the un-official, official person who has nothing to do with anything and is involved in nothing that may or may not be part of something that may or may not help you gain the courage and guidance needed to increase your level of enjoyment in the dota 2 universe. Maybe You can add me to your friends list and I may help you feel better by not guiding you in the right way to play the dotas. We will have tons of fun though
. Cheers

Thanks for the games, Admiral, Feranel, Japanties.
It's a bit difficult to pay attention to what you guys are saying over TeamSpeak through the game... especially over the constant buzzing inside your head that sounds suspiciously like "WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO???" I'll message a few of the newer doobs if they're up for a few true-noob bot games so we can practice a bit. Cheers.
