How do you play custom hero arena?

Topic says it all, how is it done.

what you do is, press escape, then, quit game. Yes, you are sure you want to quit.

now, go back to the custom game search screen, and find yourself a nice DOTA game. Once you found one advertising the modes you would like to play, click to join it. At this point you will simply have to wait.

Once you get in the dota game make sure to attack your team members and die often. Dieing increases your gold and attacking your team mates gives them valuable experience. If they scream NOOB that is actually how they compliment you. Its actually just a joke that they all use.

Didnontmeanto, your question is very very vague, could you be more specific? I'll give you some simple tips,

* pick skills that work with your hero. (for your ulti get rein / avatar / volcano)
* When you're new, make sure the first item you always buy is greater fire orb.
* In most cases you want one skill that farms kills, like an aoe nuke, a summoning spell, or a passive like critical or pulverise.
* If you can hit lvl's 7-9 before the first duel, your build is good.
* For early items, i would suggest the one ring->totemic set for agility, imbued mail-> totemic sex for intel, and rod of immortality -> totemic set for str.
* After this get all the pieces for immortals shield, then a weapon, then another immortals item of your choice. (They can be found in the help section)

(EDIT): If you know how to play and posted this for lawlz, (my guess due to ur other comments) i'm not very happy...

>< you iz unhappie

Other comments care to explain or quote? Whats so vague, explain to me like you would to a person playing Custom Hero Arena for the very first time what would you recommend?

Perhaps if your really up to it you can do an Introduction Guide to Custom Hero Arena. If you do a really good job perhaps Glorn could make mention of it in the next version. Which would immortalize your name.

Whats wrong with the Cloak, Tiara, Gloves builds are they no good?

Why Greater Orb is there nothing else for the amount of starting gold we have? Are greater orbs must have items? If theyre must have are they so broken if you dont start with one you will likely lose?

What is the game lingo? Is there game lingo to custom hero arena? How does one rid them self of the noob at cha tag? Can pro status be faked?

Sounds like we should move over creepy shadows idiots guide to cha from the other forum. Didnot makes a good point that our sight could be a little more friendly for noobs i think. (even though he is about the farthest thing from a noob for those of you who don't know. Sorry didnot, the cats out of the bag lol)

You're asking questions that you wouldn't ask if u carefully read what i wrote.

On the note of a guide, i don't really care about being immortalized, but i do want the CHA community to grow, and will be posting a through guide to cha very soon. I have a pretty unique mindset to CHA playing, so some may disagree with what i suggest. In any case, i will add in posts from other members of the communist.

Grim_Reefer, here's a tip for you man. Thicken up your skin. didnotmeanto is very good at getting under peoples skin and annoying them. He does this on purpose. He's EXCELLENT at playing stupid. So feel free to ignore the vast majority of his posts.

lets all dry hump didnot :p

anyway, most people coming to the CHA forum, arent noobs. if they are, they can check out the Q and A, and read the answers. Or, they can go they can go to tips and tricks, and read the basics. There is a pretty basic layout between the two. If you read them, you are already better than most pubs.

Fail.

I was half serious when I said that lol...

He was just pointing out dota has it encoded where you cant attack your allies unless theyre doomed or shadowstriked.

COrrect, the only way to attack your teamate is when they are belw 100 hp with a negative buff

Oh well as you can tell I am not a dota player so I had no idea.

Its actually a cool feuture they wont let you attack. I like the older version better where if you attacked your ally your hexxed for 3 seconds. Guinsos was a very funny editor to game ruiners.
