After playing a few pub games of Dota2 I was left utterly broken and baffled.
Other players insulted me like I had done horrible things to their mother. Gave me advise like 'FFS go play with BOTS' and 'DIE'.

I took the first advise to heart and played a lot of games with bots, and have gotten a little bit more confident in messing about with Jungling.
At least I know most of the hotkeys by now.

If there are some casual players about who would like to team up from time to time, that would be great. I would like to learn more about the different roles, and try out some other characters then ehm... Ursa and Lich.

Thanks a lot
Im looking forward to playing with you, and especially a training session would be great.
Please bear in mind that a ten month old baby, wife and elderly cat are all competing for my time, so I hope that I have time this weekend to join up.

As soon as I have some time I'll put my steam-ID in my signature. Anyone who wants to play a game can message me in Steam.

Thanks for all the encouraging words.
The thing is: on the surface Dota2 looks easy and inviting. It's just like Warcraft, but with less units, so what's the big deal?
Then I started digging, playing, and the more I play, the more baffled and intrigued I become with the seemingly endless depth of the game.

Looking forward to playing with a bunch of easygoing people here at Dotanoobs.

After a few days of debate with my family (i.e. The Zoo) we have come to the following consensus:

The cat will look after the baby. They are roughly the same size and weight, so I suspect there is some mutual understanding between them. Sort of like Han Solo and Chewbacca, only with more diapers and milky vomit.
The wife will look after me, and my mental stability while I descent into the rabbit's hole that is Dota2.

Only thing left to do is quitting my day-job and firing up a Kickstarter to get this whole plan rolling!
