I'm sorry!
- Oh, wait. Default response at the moment.

Hello there!

The name's Bandit, and I'm what you might call one of the 'MOBA uninitiated'. DotA2 is my first MOBA (discounting a 3-day experience of HoN which shattered my fragile mind and put me off MOBAs for years), and despite my efforts to watch every piece of guidance on youtube I can find, I'm finding DotA to be an extremely difficult game for newbies to get a handle on.

Match making at the moment seems to random me with MOBA-converts (level 1, 2 wins but 8 years of previous MOBA experience... Razza fraz!) and I'm sick of being yelled at for things I don't even realise I'm doing wrong (usually in Russian).

In short, I'm looking for a friendly environment that will help me improve at DotA, and I believe this may be the place.

Looking forward to getting some games with everyone on here!

Bandit

(Apologies in advance for the teams I'll end up being on )

Too much apologizing...brain overload...

Bandit, you've come to the right place. Jump on our Mumble server at any time and you'll find a decent amount of people who'd be more than happy to jump into a few bot games with you, play some in house matches, or help you out in any way.

Glad to have you join and looking forward to seeing you on mumble!

There is hope Bandit! I had not touched anything of the genre either, and just a few months later... wait I still suck. But not as bad!

Well, I'm definitely looking forward to getting in some games with everyone. Question: Where are the majority of the Doobs games played?

I'm from the UK you see, so I'm wondering partly about a time zone clash, and partly about the fact that I don't need to add 200 ping onto my terrible games lol

I know it's not the same country, but just wait until you meet the Irish Brigade (usually playing as Team Irish Guys w. Rock Hard Abs or TIGRHA). There are people on mumble all of the time and I'd say we usually queue USE and/or Europe.

Also, if you keep saying you're bad, you might get a warning from the Frown Police . Captain Shane will brief you later.

Just don't let him talk to to "the interrogation" room. /shivers

Haha. Yes we have a strong EU presence so the voicecomm server is populated 24/7 and we have games running all the time.

I am pleasantly surprised when I wake up for work in the morning and see an in-house taking place. (It also makes me wish I didn't have to work so I could load up teh DOTA!)

Glad to hear there's plenty of EU-ers! I'll be frequenting the mumble channel tonight. Hope to game with you all soon!

!!!!!!!!!! welcome
