DOTA 2 is one of the biggest MOBA games available on PC, with online tournaments to massive live-championships and big prize pools to be won.
DOTA 2 is complex. Gamers who are new or looking to step up their game in DOTA 2 will need to learn as much as possible to win big.
And here’s how you can do it.
DON'T BE HASTY
In any kind of MOBA game, you never want to rush. Rushing to push, gank, kill, and do everything else is only going to bring down your team in the long run. It’s a good idea to farm. Farming will help you build XP and Gold while being able to buy better upgrades, in turn letting you take over the opposing team’s base. Play the long game!
DON'T FORGET THE BASIC ITEM
I was used into playing lina in pub games where I always dominate by buying dagger before boots or other basic items. I would gank alone with my combo and go back to the fountain. Then gank again. It was pub game where my opponents would be troll mortred etc. When it comes to facing opponents with perfect team play, while Lina would be farming her dagger, the team may already be dominating and you are already feeding because of skipping the basics. Always remember to win at your lane.
LOOK AT THE MINI-MAP MORE OFTEN
Looking at the mini map often made me quicker to respond. Once I see a red dot charging towards my team mates, I'll sure be there to back them up and turn the gank into our advantage. Thus when, opponents are not seen on the mini map, I can decide to either search for them or to play safe because a gank may be coming. My reactions become quicker because of having the habit of keeping my eyes on the mini map.
WATCH HOW PROFESSIONAL PLAYER PLAY

PRACTICE MORE OFTEN
It’s true that “practice makes perfect.” Make time for the game, and think critically about what you want to achieve in specific games. Check out this subreddit thread on practicing in DOTA 2. You can find a lot of useful tips from players who have done this before.
ALWAYS GIVE EVERYTHING YOU GOT
In actual games, you should be confident. You cannot afford having fear and negative thoughts on your mind. From your previous practices, you have learned a lot and now you're confident that you have tons of secret weapons.
Lebron James, though he's considered to be a superstar, trains a lot. People even call it 'torturing himself'. Then, when he plays, you can see how confident he is and now people are considering him cocky.
MASTERING YOUR HERO
No one becomes a pro without having master their main (hero). You know you’re playing with or against experienced players if they use the same main in every game.
For new players: if you want to master a hero or figure out your play style, then it may be a good idea to play with the same hero for four weeks. You don’t want to miss out on the best character for your style without exploring a bit.
This gives you the chance to get comfortable with your hero’s role, often one of these:
While you’re trying to master your hero, you’ll also get used to the gameplay mechanics and what you need to work on to achieve more wins.
The best way to master your hero is to play with the same hero for three to four days.
This gives you the chance to get comfortable with your chosen hero and decide if their gameplay style is for you: rush, gank or tank.
DON'T FORGET TO REST
When you're sleepy, sleep (if you have nothing important to do). Then just play when you wake up. Forcing yourself to play when tired will result not having focus. You would also be emotional destroying your game totally.
