Discord: discord.gg/UqbBuaKfK6 ALSO! I didn't realize but KZbin only allows you to link 5 other videos within the video itself, so I couldn't link them everytime I said I did.

This guide finally got me playing Dota 2! I've played 4 games so far, 3 wins and 1 loss!

LETS GOOOOOO! CLARKDIGGITY IN THE HOUSE

[@ihopborders05ttv57]

Same dude and the community is so much better the league I’m actually loving this more

[@georgemorrison6300]

watching the guide now, as i download the game for the first time lol.. Cheers

[@PVKindred]

This guide is super helpful for new and returning players. I tried this game right after HoN, but I didn’t grasp the concept of those games at the time. I really appreciate the hero breakdown and also the itemization breakdown in these guides!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad you enjoyed it! Im happy to help :D

[@starwaveprime7398]

I have been using your Shaman guide since I started playing not long ago and with only 50 hrs I’ve managed to be MVP and a few honorable mentions I feel proud haha thanks for your guides!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Great to hear! That's all you! Its one thing for me to make the guide, but another altogether for you to pilot it to MVP :)

[@ryc2236]

I can see just how much effort went into this! Great stuff!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thanks a ton!

[@himanshu_VB]

Big brother, we can't able to learn dota 2 without your guide, thanks from India.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

You are most welcome! Thank you for the kind words!

[@tekudiv]

This is hands down the single best resource for new players to learn DotA 2.

[@tekudiv]

One comment on changing meta for my boy rasta. People recommend maxing shackles in the mid-game rather than hex these days. Due to early shard and solo kill potential.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!! And I thought about adjusting the Rasta guide a bit but decided to keep it like this. You're right tho, especially now with the healing changes. Taking Shackles is a good choice as well.

[@anthofreez1857]

I have to agree with each hero you put here, spot on. But would also add lion as a support too

[@Vicexd2070]

this is great quality content, keep going the hard work

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!!

[@shanecorning5222]

No problem man SUBB'd. .... This whole playlist / Series , has been helpful Thank You

[@Whatumeme]

Your by far the best at explaining in all your videos, thanks for the work, I’m new and you have made my life 1000x easier! Keep it up!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thank you! Im not covering Dota anymore, but its great to hear that my content is still helping people :)

[@ttheo1]

I tryed Dota 2 before but i didt know what to play (League player) and this video helped me, thx!!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I'm happy to help!!

[@himanshu_VB]

We new player getting chance to play dota 2 by your guide thanks thanks a lot

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad to hear it!

[@grdreadhead09]

You deserve way more than 20k subs. Been watching all your videos as I try to learn this game coming from league, super helpful

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad to help! Welcome to Dota!!!!

[@jmxxxxxx]

Thanks for the guide. I used to play as mid carry in dota 1 before then switch to league to play as AD Carry with my college friends. Currently having a hard time kiting enemies tho.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I'm happy to help! Welcome back to Dota!!

[@hrvojeknezovic4674]

Thank you a lot!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@The.Righteous.Artist]

If you are coming from League of legends and are confused on the lane names I will put the chart bellow ADC = Safelane Carry MID = mid Top = Off lane Jungle = Roamer/soft support Support = hard Support

[@richardhanselman2549]

Bruh this. This is info we all need to know. It can be super confusing coming from league going... but. You said support where the heals and shields... nah fam this info is what I'm currently learning

[@Trashdude999]

Great work dude

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thank you! Cheers! I appreciate the kindness!

[@joakimtoftgaard7475]

What is the map you're playing on. Looks so clean

[@Blacknarock]

I came from Dota 1. That's where I started. Most of them are the same heroes more or less. Some have different skills but I don't mind since that makes them viable in the meta. We actually have a Dota 1 map that copies items from Dota 2 including the talent tree the thing I think is the most useful thing ever invented in Dota. I'm more into support. I don't like to carry. Most of intelligence heroes I like and IO. But since I'm a beginner I can't play him He is locked. Thx for the video man. Rly helps since I'm not used to Dota 2. Is good that Dota 1 concept didn't die instead moved on and improved.

[@kingkaz219]

I'm new to Dota 2 and this has given me alot to think about

[@ethan6322]

Just got back into dota2 after like a 5 year break, wow it's completely different. I still enjoy centaur warrunner Bounty hunter and warlock.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol welcome back to Dota! I hope my channel helps :)

[@yousefghazy]

thank your for the great content!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!!

[@TheBugB]

I just finished this hour and a half long video…. Turns out laundry takes me longer than an hour and a half so there ya go….

[@AlexanderCoccia]

LOL thank you sir

[@hisaki44-]

Thanks for helping, can u make this guide once agin? There was lots of pstches i reall admire work and could contribute more if u want cuz i can help your chanel if you need to

[@afsarahmed6365]

Not tidehunter, but under lord?

[@versystudio822]

Hi there! Thank you for your great videos! I'm new and when I try to add sub to any hero guide on steam (based on your links) I get an error, similar to this : Error Unable to load Hero Build file: 1836916655110262219! Maybe those files are already moved or something? Thanks!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

That's weird, they should be working. I will double check. What guides specifically were you interested in?

[@versystudio822]

@@AlexanderCoccia Never mind, I think it was probably some glitch yesterday. Today it seems to work :)

[@Thegamer2008real]

Does it still work in 7.32?

[@cabinalism2615]

41:46 nice

[@ethereal823]

I watched this before i play dota 2 because i haven't play dota 2 since 2016

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Welcome to Dota!!

[@yellowscarlightningscream8347]

I can honestly tell you Hoodwink, treant, Primal beast, Void Spirit and Omni knight are NOT for beginners.....

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Don't mistake someone new to Dota with someone without mechanical skill. A lot of players come from League and are very mechanically talented. Also I do mention in the video if a hero is more on the complex side, but people want an option to test themselves

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Sand King is similar... he's got some mechanical complexity to him but for someone experienced in MOBAs who wants something more challenging in the role, he's a great choice.

[@yellowscarlightningscream8347]

@@AlexanderCoccia I get your point. But these players get flamed the most from their own teammates as these heroes are high risk and high reward. Chances of bad positioning and miscast of spells is very high

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Yeah you're right. Kind of unfortunate that things can get toxic when someone is trying to learn in bot games and in unranked. I wish that wasn't the case, because more people playing Dota is simply the best thing for the game long term, and toxicity really impacts the new player experience

[@TheBugB]

Idk why but I suck so bad on WK. like real bad….

[@AlexanderCoccia]

:(

[@TheBugB]

@@AlexanderCoccia I know right…. I’ll try the other K hero and play CK I guess.

[@TheBugB]

Alex I’m getting a kitten today!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

YES CONGRATS :D

[@enumaelis1448]

Should've done Invoker as well for midlane, easy hero.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

so ez lol

[@enumaelis1448]

@@AlexanderCoccia when r u gonna unban me from twitch lmao

[@MS-qu4ge]

primal beast is most definetly not a beginner hero if you actually wanna play him properly

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Why not? He's top tier right now and once you fundamentally understand his combos you're golden. He doesn't require intense mechanics, nor does he require an in-depth knowledge of the other heroes of Dota. Why the hell wouldn't a new player give him a shot?

[@MS-qu4ge]

@@AlexanderCoccia because he relies very heavily on timing and his proper combos aren't easy enough to execute, we're talking NEW players here who are already overwhlemed by everything else going on in a very unforgiving noob unfriendly game also if you choke even 1 of his spells or misuse blink you're practically worthless in a teamfight since none of your spells do anything to spell immunity and you have to either ignore bkbs or catch someone before they pop it, just compare the gameplan and execution of underlord which was a great example and primal beast who doesn't flash farm, relies on his team and can really only solo kill heroes very early on and that's when you need to execute his combos perfectly unless you're playing into a free lane or someone really bad

[@AlexanderCoccia]

You make a lot of solid points honestly. You're right, he's super easy to disrupt and Dota is hard enough to learn lol. With that being said, I think he's a blast to play and worth learning. Also don't forget, a lot of new players might not know Dota itself, but may come from other MOBAs like League so they know how to press buttons :D

[@AlexanderCoccia]

He can flash farm though! Not quite like Underlord but he can farm more than people give him credit for!

[@MS-qu4ge]

@@AlexanderCoccia oh i agree he's an absolute blast to play and w is decent for farming but it's not on the lowest cd and in low elo and this is just my suggestion for every new/low ranked player just hit creeps, get money it's that simple in lower mmr games people have terrible macro anyway as long as you're up in gold you're generally gonna win more than half your games and that's all you need

[@cosmosgames6699]

i am getting into dota 2 but i am 0/3 in games and always die -_-

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol I've been playing since 2012 and I'll go 0-10 sometimes lol! Just keep at it, you'll start winning!!

[@hidan4098]

Well. Where's invoker. That's definitely beginners friendly hero

[@AlexanderCoccia]

LOL yes :D

[@alfredsmith1328]

I never win one ranked match

[@L1da77]

Interesting talking about heroes for new players and using lingo that new players dont have a clue about. Like you said something about medusa being able to do mid lane but that would be greedy. What does that even mean? Farming small camp? What is that? Lots and lots of talk about the different lanes that a player that don't already have a favorite hero have no clue about. Mentioning bkb, casually, as if thats common knowledge for new players. Yeah... Good guide but not sure who you really are trying to talk to.

[@slugzee5182]

dude really spent a whole minute pitching why we should subscribe to him like he's on sharktank lmao
