was it 2 whole games? or 10 games where everyone left in the first 5 minutes?

Oh, you mean the grind through about 4 hours of tutorials? That actually explain mechanics, shopping, and all the other good things in the client? I'd say it's worth it.

the tutuorials didnt explain anything you cant figure out on your own. i guess its slightly better than league's tutorial though

I took 5 minutes to understand how shop interface works.

Not how the shop works, nor the courier or the different shops, JUST HOW TO SELECT AND PICK THE DAMN THINGS.

I'll just straight up admit I'm too stupid to play Dota.

I don't think we need a contest over who's new user experience is the worst. Because let's be honest, they're both really shitty.

from my time playing dota 2 dota 2 has a really bad community

I find that people communicate a lot more in dota, both in voice chat and through typing.

Unfortunately that means the occasional troll/rager also communicates more.

I don't know, I tried it and people didn't seem to bad. I just couldn't figure out that damn shop lol.

2 major issues I have with Dota2,

It's seemingly horribly optimised. My toaster could only run it at a **solid **12 fps on the bottom tier graphics setting, while tanking 80 degrees Celsius in GPU even when I'm just sitting on the main page doing nothing. Dunno.
That friggin shop. Seriously what the hell is with that impossible vender menu?

Other than those, I am sure Dota2 is a shiet ton of fun, if you're prepared to play it for years.

What's the issue League players seem to have with dota's shop? I've never really found either game's shop particularly difficult to use.

I just personally find it unnecessarily sluggish and needlessly crowded, without giving the player (especially new players) any clear direction besides recommended items. And it doesn't seem to have a search function based on preferred stats such as say HP or Str either, unless I missed it which is totally possible.

However just imo the shop could really use some house cleaning, for most new players, it's a complete nightmare trying to get to know the shop.

you will get used to, i swear i don't know how but now since i play dota 2 for like 8 months+ i know every items in every place the problem with this shop, is that players can't see that is ordered from the top to the bottom by classes

I don't know what the problem is with the shop? It's divided in 2 pages, base items and the finished items. Then broken down into columns by type (def, off, spell caster, etc).

Its not the best, but there are a fair amount of items to work through. You should just stick to recomended items. Which you can load your own, or even load community voted ones. Includes skill builds.
