Pudge is the most popular hero in Dota 2 and for a good reason too. This hero is fun to play and punishes heroes who are out of position super hard. He is also a very misunderstood hero in the game as he’s made a reputation of a griefing hero in every rank. In any case, Pudge is a very strong hero no matter what role he’s played in, and an experienced Pudge player can single-handedly carry the game.

Witch Doctor is one of the most popular heroes in Dota 2, especially in lower ranks.

But you don’t need to worry as this hero is very easy to deal with when you have the right heroes. Silences and stuns are the greatest weakness of this hero, and he also has very…
Drow Ranger has been one of the strongest carries in patch 7.32 of Dota 2. This hero can zone out most meta offlaner of the patch and is able to come online from very early on in the game.

This hero really suffers when fighting against multiple heroes so ganking her early is the most effective…

Dota 2 has two types of spells/abilities – abilities that need to be casted manually by clicking the target or ground, and abilities that are casted automatically as soon as they come off cooldown. These abilities that are casted automatically are auto-cast abilities. Only a few selected heroes in Dota have auto-cast abilities. The best thing about auto-cast abilities is that they can be toggled on or off, and can still be used manually just like normal spells or abilities. They have a very little cooldown(some abilities actually have no cooldown) and require very less mana to use. After you…
Picking heroes in Dota is as difficult as winning the actual game, especially if you are playing as a support and you know you have to pick your hero in the first pick phase.

Dota 2 has the option to show your FPS when you are in a match but for some reason if…

There are many options like these in…
