Greetings! Thanks for the kind words!

I'm from Serbia to Dzoni brate xD. Isto igrao WC3 a sad Dotu.

Same here but instead of getting to high school I just got too high and ended up playing Dota 1 for about a decade.

I also started playing WC3/FT as a kid and learned to play DOTA at high school. Never touched DOTA 2 or any other games similar to DOTA for personal reasons. It makes me happy that DOTA is getting the love it deserves. Thank you sir o7

u should try SMITE Arena and watch the Kings Avatar animation

Nobody has typed anything toxic to me yet, but I heard that a lot! Maybe it's because I have chat on mute... thanks for comment!

@@FollowGrubby That means lots of people typed something toxic to you, but you couldn't read it.

@@andraip this is especially true for new players I feel... when I took a friend on their first trip into dota the ally chat was insane

@@FollowGrubby what a nice coincidence I the chat on mute as well

@@FollowGrubby This comment didn't age very well :(

Crazy amount of knowledge I have to agree... when I tried teaching my friends and cousins', they were overwhelmed. I've been playing DotA since I was like 9 (I'm 28 now lol). I know every item + hero, etc.

Probably not a fair comparison considering he's a pro wc3 player

@@Rick-zw9kp WC3 helps a bit, but yeah, nothing wrong with starting vs AI and earning your stripes there! :D

he's a Heroes GM too lol

It is a massive learning curve to say the least. Just think about it, even playing through every hero once in the game requires like a hundred games. Also the heroes are much more distinct than they were in the old WC3 dota days, where a lot of heroes had skills that were carbon copies from WC3 heroes.

I'll do my best, loving it so far!

he'd be a champion in no time!

You can experience the toxicity attitude lower rank player 😂😂😂

this comment aged well

​@@jamesscruggs5147how good is he nowadays? Know nothing about dota

Fortune favors the bold I say. No glory to be had not charging the hill.

Oh yeah dota 2 is known for its lovable and non-toxic community all over the world. Everyone knows Dota 2 has the most communicative and well-behaved players of any game. Now read what i just typed in the opposite.

@@bundestagkola8691 You are the reason it's toxic

fyi, there's actually a real tutorial in learn menu up there.

@@darkdemon1676 He did briefly check it out, the first one is super boring and "NEWBIE" though, so he got bored and moved on. I don't think he saw the extra tabs of tutorials where the more useful ones are (like on creep pulling/stacking and item disassembly).

@@ajcl_gaming7061 yea valve should make it accessible to new players like showing them straight to their face when they're logging in for the first time.

When dota was getting big in 2004/2005+ it created a huge division in the warcraft 3 community. Many of the serious ladder players (ie normal game mode) thought dota was for newbs that couldn't hack it in proper matches. And then all the other custom map players that liked enfos/footy/TD etc hated dota because it quickly became 95% of custom maps people were playing. Basically by 2005 there were 3 distinct types of people who played warcraft 3 - ladder players, custom map players, and dota players. It was quite normal for each type not to ever play another type. And within a few years dota grew so much it was probably 95% of people that played warcraft 3, and then eventually they split off into playing private servers and only the newbs still played on bnet. Anyway my point is... I'm not surprised if hardcore ladder players like Grubby (and probably Lyn, ToD, Madfrog, Sky etc) never got into dota.

@@ajcl_gaming7061 good point most people knew what they liked and stayed in their lane. Dota ruled the cg list and had sooo many versions and spin offs. I mostly played an obscure version called danites hell. All skills were fully randomized each game. Made for chaos!

@@Rick-zw9kp Yeah there were tons of weird ones originally. I liked this version where when you killed creeps in your jungle they respawned in your own wave. So it was a race to jungle the fastest to overwhelm the enemies lane.

@@ajcl_gaming7061 as a custom map, you couldn't edit it with map editor .. needed an unlock, and custom map editor addon to even open it .. had custom spells / "triggers" (scripts) not available in regular map editor .. i played around with editor quite a bit -- this was quite the operation, not ordinary custom game made by an individual hobbyist
