Great Things that You Learn from Dota 2 The reason why it is so hard to quit playing Dota 2 is because it is designed to be extremely engaging on multiple levels. Even if I talk about myself personally, when I am angry I play Dota 2, select some hero which can beat the crap out of enemy and after the game I am relaxed.

Updated on 8 Dec 2018 Earlier I posted an article about Dota 2 Team combos. Here in this article we are going to tell you about some cool lane combo ideas. So you can have some fun with your friends. Remember, these combos are MOSTLY for fun and work like a charm in under 3k MMR games. But you can also execute these combos in higher MMR games if you have perfection with your heroes. 1. The Invisible Rot Combo Pick LifeStealer and Pudge. Build an Aghanim's Scepter (or get one from Alchemist) for Lifestealer. Pudge will activate rot and have Lifestealer Devour Pudge. Then Lifestealer will get inside the Rock Golem (Ancient neutral creep). So, what will happen now ? Rock Golems have magic resistance, but Pudge's Rot effect is supposed to persist.

The Best Alternative to WTFast We have seen the battle and rage against ping and lag issues faced by the community. Some requested for more servers In their region while others still struggle due to their poor ISP infrastructure that exists in their country. There are several other causes of clutter and disruption that a lot of players may not be aware of because they seek assistance to help them aware of the root cause. WTFast was indeed among those who brought a lot of things into the limelight of gamers and probably the first ones to spread the awareness for the “NEED” of such lag reducing applications or gaming VPN for that matter. Unfortunately since 2015 the brand has lost its charm in the industry after being bashed by the masses (majority of the bashing came from the LoL community)...

Manila Major main event started on June 7th 2016 and finals were played on June 12th, 2016. OG Dota 2 showed an excellent gameplay and won this Major. Team Liquid was 2nd and bagged $405,000. Whereas most famous rather most hyped teams like Team Secret, Evil Genius, Fnatic and Na'Vi could not show the gameplay their fans were expecting. Na'Vi did however pleased their fan with awesome gameplay in this event but ultimately their skills and luck ran out and they were eliminated. PGL, the tournament organizing company, did an excellent job. Unlike Shanhgai Majors, this event went extremely smooth without any major issues, at least none was reported by the community. I must say that stage designing, organization and preparations were excellent and "Hodor holding the door" (a Game of Thrones scene) for final match was an icing over the cake....
