Dota 2 Beta...

[Vanilla_steb]

Ok so i played original Dota for around a year and a half, Ive played Hon briefly and also League of legends. I'd say im fairly worthy of getting my beta key (which i have) but whats going on with some other people who have beta keys.

i just played a game in which 2 people left after they died twice (one of these was a venomancer who decided to try and solo a tower twice at level one xD), ursa then went 0/13 or something like that and their invoker was 23/0 from my team mates running in over and over again. early game i went 7/0 against my lane was left to solo vs a duo lane + their dc'd players bot. i picked up a fairly early rapier hoping i could snowball out of control as my opponents were very unskilled. i collected 7-8 more kills without taking a death. i got killed at the end of a team fight just as a pudge suicided. not one of my team members collected rapier leaving it in the enemy base (ikr).

so my main point is why do so many people who seem to know nothing at all about dota and if keys are handed out to such people shouldn't their be a forced tutorial or something?

I am by no means a great dota player im probably around average at best but some of these people act like they have never picked up a moba before =(.

Oh god, this question is asked so many times...use the search function for god sakes or something...

And the answer is, no one knows.

And Dota is not a Moba. Prepare to get flamed.

over 60 k people online - do you think all of them gonna be pro? BTW you can buy a key from store. and finally play some games - get ranked higher and you'll get better games

I dont expect anyone i play against to be pro as i would get my ass handed to me. My point was when buyable keys were introduced surely the tutorial should of followed?

is there a x amount of wins or w/l ratio before you build up your rating? im currently 47 wins and 14 losses and havent seen any real jump in skill level.

Play some more games to grow out of this bottom tier of players I guess or directly queue up with someone that already has a quite high ranking so that he pulls you up for some games.

what is a moba? or wait. better question would be: what is not a moba?

when i said "PRO" - i ment "PRO" in pub mentality not DENDI. tutorial will not help jack shit - this game is too hard to learn fast.

dunno when your skill lvl will increase

you can just direct people to my signature from here on out.

also, if you play on US(east or west) i'll play with you. i don't get matched with mouth-breathing dirt-eaters. quite the opposite. so perhaps we'd get matched somewhere between.

PM me your steam id if you'd like

when you go on to play dota2,then the problem will has been solved

[ahconma1]

Dota 2 is exactly the same as dota. It just changed the log in game system and the appearance.

[MindPhaser]

so my main point is why do so many people who seem to know nothing at all about dota and if keys are handed out to such people shouldn't their be a forced tutorial or something?

You should use your brain before asking questions like that.... Now regarding your question. Valve cant check every player and pick some depending on their skill (although they made a survey to estimate that, also people can buy access to the beta from dota 2 store, so there re no keys handed out like that. I dont see a point to complain here, the game is still in beta People will learn to play or eventually the ill leave for another game.
