Newbie looking for some help

Hi guys,
im hoping to fnd some help here. I started playing Dota a few weeks ago, with very little experience in Mobas. The game looks great and Im really enjoying it for the most part, but Id like to join into the competitive side of it soon. So far matchmaking has been really rough due to languagebarriers, lack of communication and propably a big lack of game knoweledge. Ive played a bit of LoL and HoN before so I think I have a small grasp on the general concept of a Moba, but Im sure there is a lot of space for improvement =) Im currently playing at 2,5k mmr.

Im thankful for any kind of help you can offer and would be specially thankful for some private coaching. I cant offer much in return other than my everylasting love :P (maybe some starcraft 2 coaching if youre into that).

thanks in advance,

Hi Simba.

Feel free to add me on Steam. I can teach any role, but my best role is support. More important than roles is understanding how the game works at a competitive level. Understanding why professionals do things that don't seem to make sense to you.

Just add and message me whenever.

See you then.

Thx for the quick reply =) I added you on steam.

I'm not too good myself so I can't really coach you sorry but there are some really good guides out there, on this website and more. Goo's Guides give a lot of tips for general gameplay as opposed to guides for a single hero. Sando and Peppo have made plenty of guides for single heroes or guides for roles. There are a ton more on this site but it's too hard to remember them all. I think the SteamCommunity has some good guides, YouTube is always a good source. I recommend checking out Purge, he isn't the best pro player but he is much better than average and offers good advice in his general guides as well as his regular matchmaking games. I also think FluffnStuff (Brian Lee) has some good guides for supports and Aui_2000 has a channel as well. Other than that, watching pro games on joinDota is a good way to learn as well.

How long is "a few" because if you've been playing for 3 weeks and have already gotten to 2.5k mmr, I'd say thats pretty good for a so called "noob". I've been playing for 2 months and haven't even unlocked ranked. Maybe its because I can only play 2 games a week lol. But keep up the good work
