I tried to play online but just couldnt get it

What are we supposed to be doing?

The greeveling, ok why would you want to change to a greeveling when you can be a hero?

As soon as I went near an enemy they just killed me straight away with like 1 hit so what is the point of the match?

i thought it was released, as you can buy it now.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/570/

They are selling "early access to dota2 with lots of cosmetic bundles."

Dota 2 will be a free to play once released and it wont have any "pay to win" elements.

This is not a game you will be able to understand just by playing once or twice and wont be able to reach "mid skilled" level before ~300 to 500 games. Learning curve is more steep than any other games.

oh also play with AI for your first 50 games.

Yet whenever I decide to play I'm left looking at the screen for five minutes and no games are found :(

So far I've only played one game which despite half the team I was on leaving we won but I did enjoy it

I think it's because most players aren't in the low skill bracket. If you just start to play, you'll be able to find a match right away but after awhile it'll take longer. Even at my level, it can take as long as 5 minutes to find a match.

How do you lock the camera on the hero?

So I don't have to worry about the camera - I couldn't figure it out. It Leage of Legends there is a button for that on the interface and keyboard - 'c' I believe - what is the equivalent in DOTA 2?

I went though the controls couldn't figure it out for some reason -.-

Also the store items are not sortable or is it just me?

Better late than never :)

In console type:

dota_camera_lock 1
0 to disable

 

You can bind that to a key with the following command (where X/Y = any key):

bind "X" "dota_camera_lock 1"
bind "Y" "dota_camera_lock 0"

I missed this game's release and now I'm addicted to it.

 

I think it's cheesy what Valve's done, but since the game is free, I have no complaints.

 

I'll be playing it till Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm comes out.

 

PM me if you want to team up or just chat. :)

I've put so many hours into it (close to 1,800). What do you mean by "cheesy"?

how's it cheesy, atleast say why. Dota2 is far from cheesy, its competitive, grueling, action packed, exciting and involves flexible skill caps ... sure. Cheesy, not so much. Also, the new earth and ember spirits are fun to play, i've had more success with ember, doing -> phase, ring of aquila, drums, b.fury, desolator. It solves two problems : mana and damage spread. Also mjjilnor is really good on that hero, I did the sleight of fist with multiple chain lightnings, so good. I've yet to try and get linkens on him, it would solve alot of problems.

 

also yes add me, 'Im keen to jam with some neowin folk i'm ' Kaa-ching' :d

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
