This is the exact video I was searching for!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I'm glad you found it!!

[@Rivayna]

LoL refugee here, awesome video, I’ve already done most of this stuff prior to playing, I actually keep the minimap in the standard position because I hate what it does to the shop layout. I can’t play carries yet but I’ve already carried some games due to engages on Magnus and Earthshaker, awesome heroes that are fun to play. Though I’m not entirely sure how viable they are, I prefer the concept of soft support to jungler. (LoL’s spin on the 4 position)

[@Rivayna]

Also is there any mages you’d recommend who have the power to initiate?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

That's awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying the game. Hmm.. mages who initiate from the 4 position... Maybe take a look at Lina, Earth Spirit, or Tiny! They are cool initiator. Tiny isn't much of a mage though lol

[@nenram.5786]

@@Rivayna usually the initiators are the offlaners coz they can tank more damage while escaping. But you can initiate too with supps that has 1 or 2 CCs like lion or shadow shaman to name a few. Earthshaker and Magnus some of the best initiators in the game. Usually you aim to catch 2 or more enemies and lock them or reposition them to your teams advantage.

[@ayumisanyuki7116]

i really miss Io the most logical to not have turnrate

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol that's true

[@tonpariston5093]

Io has spin rate lol

[@destinyj.5432]

thx dude, I wanna try Dota and I dont know where to start, thx for this, Ill watch the rest of your guides

[@AlexanderCoccia]

You're welcome! Welcome to DotA!

[@willy1202]

Bro, thank you so much, i really appreciate you making theese videos, theyre helping me a lot. :)

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad you like them! I'm happy to help :D

[@emberhydra]

Not enough to convince my long time league player friends to come over to the dark side I call dota 2, won't stop me from trying though

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thats the spirit :D!

[@javad4083]

thank u so much. i love this game and ur videos helped me so much.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

No problem!

[@enricopenales6862]

No recalls too. Couriers are there to help deliver items. I play both tho, but I get bored playing league because of its predictability.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Yeah you're right about recall. I was moving fast here and was more focused on how to set up and play comfortably if you're familiar with league. Maybe one day soon I'll do a full comparison.

[@DevilRaper]

Hey Alexander can you please do a guide of how to use couriers efficiently for beginners, Keep up the good work !

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Let me see what I can do, thanks for the kind words!

[@godsoffice5714]

Just press f2 for selecting courier and after buying everything from the shop press f3, that's it. There a red boost icon which comes after 11 minutes later I think which you can use to boost it's speed.

[@Aliisgoingsomewhere]

I wasn't a league player, but watched as well, thanks Alexander❤

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol you're welcome

[@leinah3671]

Thank you as a old dota player I don't really care 'bout turn rate & I really just buy Boots of Travel or Phase boots or any movement speed items. But thanks I learned something 'bout this video & I'm glad that Storm & TA is my main hero as mid lane also ES & Oracle as support role.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I'm happy to have been able to help!!

[@Pierre-lj4sq]

Keep up the good work

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thanks, will do! Thanks for watching :D

[@redslimeyslime1356]

Me and a friend want to start playing because LoL has been boring lately. Who do you recommend us playing in a duo lane?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Absolutely! Dota is the most fun with friends :D

[@reza.prakasa]

Maybe for carry and hard support, they usually in same lane. They like ad/adc and supp in LoL. If you're radiant its on bot lane but if you're dire its on top lane

[@laurenceavangolipapa576]

Bro how can I change the skills to qwer + shift skill like in lol if not using quickcast?

[@leinah3671]

This is wholesome

[@AlexanderCoccia]

:D!!

[@mareksicinski3726]

1:14 well not by default it doesn't use numbers for items

[@solidaritytime3650]

Which champ should I play if I main ADC in league? Are there any AD's with 0 turn radius?

[@ahmadfadelyusuf4003]

League ADC is a range champ right ? Unfortunately there is no ADC or Hard Carry(In Dota) that hace 0 turn rate, but probably a hero called Luna will be the closest.

[@mostuselessmanofalltime]

hoooooooooooly shit I'm glad I clicked on this video bruv. I auto set my keys up to League stuff, fuck sakes man.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol happy I could help!!

[@patrick47633]

HOW DID THIS MAN KNOW

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol

[@joubinlee3944]

thanks so much I appreciate this video very much, chances are I will be switching from league to dota because of how abusive and misconductive their support staff and company are and this video helps a lot

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I'm so happy to help! I hope that my other videos can help you get started as well. Welcome to Dota!!

[@alfathterry7215]

Am I the only Indonesian wjo watch alex? Btw more dota underlord pls...

[@AlexanderCoccia]

[@SorakaOTP462]

Diamond in League, Wood V in dota.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

LOL you'll climb fast! Your league experience is valuable

[@nerfbeard8000]

How can one make a video like this without actually playing league though? ;)

[@AlexanderCoccia]

LOL 🤣

[@shanecorning5222]

"Leage of Legends" has no Animation "in-betweeners" for TURNING? ...... :-D ... wow , DOTA2's graphics are Fabulous right now in 2023 on a brand new PC, with, a Raytracer gForce card. ..... :-) .... the "Vulcan shaders" took my box at LEAST , ten minutes, to calculate and save. Prob 15min?

[@stevenm2722]

My face when I found out DotA2 has flash on a 15 second cooldown O.O Wait the range on blink is filthy.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol welcome to Dota!!

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

My friend won't play bc of the turn rates. :( Maybe this'll convert him. lmao

[@KotlinBek]

and of course you need to show QOP. but lol players not all heroes hot like that. just go wherever you came from

[@nobledmarlin17]

Dota feels slower that lol

[@AlexanderCoccia]

That's because it is! Especially when you take into consideration the turn rates of heroes
