It begins...
The lane phase ends rather soon. It seems to end when roughly everyone has their ult. People in the mid (or solo lanes) gank sooner because of their rapid level gains since they don't share xp with anyone.
Taking out the heroes is more important than the towers to a degree because taking out the heroes denies them XP, gold, and allows you to have it for yourself in lane for about 20-40 seconds before they respawn. Leaving the lane is fine depending on your lane. It's expected that mid lane leaves to assist the other lanes at certain points in the match. Rosh is a big thing to keep track of because of the gold it gives for your teams and also the fact that it drops a very important item (or two items at a certain point) so it's basically something to ward around for vision of the pit he's in.
Storm Spirit/Dragonknight combo?
ult = ultimate skill/attribute ?
If so you can't use that at the start? You have to do enough damage in battle to access it?
Yeah. You are able to skill into that ability when you hit level 6.
No. You have normally 3 other abilities you can choose to start with. As you kill creeps in the lane phase, you gain experience, as well as gold... but only if you last hit the creeps.
storm spirit looks way too complicated for me right now lol
Last hit on a creep gives everybody in the party that are in the area gold right? Or does it not matter where you are in the map
It only gives the person that got the last hit gold. So if you and I are in the same lane and you last hit the creep, you get the gold.
Thats a smart way to do it.
Lol @ the three AT accounts listed here.You're my boy Crow!
also my first ever game of DOTA was a win. I'm so proud.
@Smokey: I LIKE THE ATTITUDE

New GPM record, AWWWWWWWWWW YEAH.
Singsing is disappoint
Why doesn't this work. It only loads my game from last year on my old Alias.
You need to go into your settings within the game and turn on "Share Match Info" or some shit like that.

I'm going to dive fountains all day-err-day
I'm in.
Dota Cinema does cool previews of each hero as they're released, including an explanation of how their skills work. Here is Abaddon:

Tri-Lane wasn't too bad but that was literally the second time I have ever done it so I wasn't aware of all the tricks. That was also the second time I have ever done a stack and pull.
I really like what Necrolyte can do but I need to get more familiar with him. It seems like I'm really nothing at the start of team fights until enemy heroes get half health.

I'm guessing it will be Valve's expansion from what they did last year in terms of spectating games and getting the chance to win cool items. Their own sort of rare item betting stuff that those websites have already been doing this last year.
With the addition of the new player cards playing a factor as well of course.
OK, so is any of that worth money or free games to me?
yeah it was in last year. it's just the controls for the most part. and yeah, join our club. we usually do in house games but if we only get 5, we run some club games.
we need a goalie someone!
