Also, the impale skill that not only deals damage with the enemy but stuns it, then combo it with Lion’s special skill Finger of Death that deals 850 damage at level 3. Beat that.

The two other skills, Silence and Frost Arrows are more of disabling your enemies. With these skills, it is best to partner up with your allies that deals with high damage. You will disable the enemies and leave the killing to your allies. Frost Arrows is one of the perfect skill to immobilize your dota hero enemies.
This hero is very very good in farming gold
Primary: Agi
Special Skill: Marksmanship (M) - The Ranger’s accuracy has increased, giving her more agility.
7. Bone Clinkz
This dota hero for beginners focus more on attack speed. It is a good hero to begin with because of its attack speed that ables you to farm more gold. But the Special skill of this hero would be a little too hard to beginners to kill a friendly unit, returning a percentage of its life to this dota hero.
Primary: Agi
Special Skill: Death Pact - Kills a target friendly unit, returning a percentage of its life.
8. Lina Inverse - The Slayer
Lina Inverse is one of the best dota hero for beginners. Lina’s primary attribute is int to allow you to deal a lot of damage to enemies. Because of its attack speed, it allows you to farm for more golds. Lina’s Ultmate skill which increases your attack speed for 50% is a good skill to cast whenever you are pushing a tower. Lina’s special skill could even deal up to 950 damage killing soft dota heroes. Equip this girl with a Refresher Orb and you will be beyond godlike!
The downside is, Lina could not be able to defend herself whenever two heroes gang up on you.

Special Skill: Laguna Blade - deals 950 damage
9. Bradwarden - The Centaur Warchief
The Centaur’s primary attribute is strength which gives you high hp and at the same time, you could deal a lot of damage to your enemies. This dota hero for beginners is really hard to kill because of it’s strength. Did I mention his special skill that adds + 36 to it’s strength? Only a few could survive this hero.
Because of this dota hero high survivability rate, it is one of the best hero for beginners. However, its skills are a little bit hard to master. Or because, you are a starter, you will probably be coward to stay close to your enemies.
Primary: Strength
Special Skill: Great Fortitude - Adds +36 Strength on level 3
10. King Leoric, The Skeleton King
The best thing about The Skeleton King is it’s special skill Reincarnation that allows you to return back to life immediately when you die which gives you a chance to go back at whoever kills you. The Skeleton King has high strength which gives you high survivability rate and able to tank. This is the best hero for beginners that wants to learn how to be a tank. However, it has a low attack speed but the damage it deals is totally awesome.
Primary: Strength
Special Skill: Reincarnation - When killed, this hero will come back to life at the cost some mana.

November 10th, 2009 at 3:46 pm

November 17th, 2009 at 2:47 am

November 22nd, 2009 at 6:05 pm
dun play dota, or you will be like all the idiots here man (:
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:24 am
i think your a fukin retard. Luna, Sniper, Drow, Lina, Zues???? Those are FAR from noob heroes. They require experienced play to not get ganked early and become useless. Zues and Luna also recquire good mana management, making them horrible picks for noobs.
Razor is good at least, because he can get away with his high ms, and he in not comlicated. So is skele, because they wont feed as much and can be useful with the stun. Cent is ok, but they wont be useful
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:26 am
and ian, every hero is weak agaisnt another hero…
and travex can shit on crystal miaden… if she gets silenced, drow can kill her in 5 shots at any point in the game past level 6…
and pudge/mirana are the worst picks ever for noobs…
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:52 pm
pwede n po skin c kardel.
wtf??
November 24th, 2009 at 12:57 pm

December 16th, 2009 at 6:03 am
Trax best noob hero
December 16th, 2009 at 8:38 am
DPAT KSAMA TROLL WARLORD
December 19th, 2009 at 2:26 pm

1)dwarven sniper
2)lightning revenant
3)drow ranger
4)crystal maiden
5)viper
6)prophet
7)luna moonfang
8)stealth assasin
9)slayer
10)lycanthrope
December 22nd, 2009 at 7:01 pm
nice!:D, when i started playing DotA i started using “KARDEL SHARPEYE”, when i mastered kardel, i switched to “Priestess of the Moon”(MIRANA)^_^
December 24th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Hey Dudes try this K: First pick any hero, then find the place where Roshan is standing, on his Upper left will be a person who is called Leragas the Vile fill your inventory using the weapon DEMON EDGE which Leragas sells after that buy 6 SACRED RELICS from Leragas also and you will have 6 Divine Rapiers which gives +250 Damage, after evrything click at your Hero and his + damage will be 1500 cool eh then fight Roshan and you can defeat him without using cheats what so ever TNX
December 24th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Oh, ANd ANother Thing MAke Sure Your Hero is From Scourge if your Hero is from sentinel you’ll have a hard time reaching him because of the spirit towers TNX again
December 25th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
when i accidentally opened the dota app in our desktop, I was fascinated and tried to play it.. I first also accidentally clicked on the icon of luna moonfang…
I mastered her easily, but I also agree with what the others say, SHE’S NOT ONE OF THE CHOICES FOR NEWBIES…
one should know the timing for her skills, when to level it up and when to upgrade it…
luna is also one of the best heroes you could use…that is if you would have the correct items, knowledge, and common sense
December 27th, 2009 at 4:43 am
ian u u do not no anything.. anyway pudge is not good for noobs espiacially his rot
January 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm
clinkz is not 4 beginners.
January 9th, 2010 at 12:10 am
Leshrac The Malicious (Tormented Soul) is the most lethal here I’ve seen so far, in terms of creep-killing mostly. All of his four abilities are AoE and very useful.
January 9th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Tinker
January 16th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
i am sure that the rikimaru is best among the dota due to his temorary invisible.
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:45 pm
There is no best hero in DoTA each hero has a strength and a weakness. love, Icefrog
January 23rd, 2010 at 12:04 am
Traxex= Noob?
it just doesnt fit well
Traxex can defeat almost anyone
You see she has Silence…
that can kill almost all Int types
and when u go Garena Every time i see a Traxex… BEYOND GODLIKE!
But i agree with Kardel as the best hero for beginners…
And i Agree that Magina is one of the strongest heroes because if you lose all your mana…. your useless
except for axe of course but i believe he can be killed by magina
MAGINA FTW!!
January 29th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
lol,zues,skeleton king,traxex,centur warcheif,luna,lina is not good for biginers becuase of: zues need to spam skill and his mana management is hard,traxex need to farm hard,centur warcheif need timing stun and movement speed need to be high because of the stun, luna need hp and her timing of ultimate,lina need her timing for stun
January 31st, 2010 at 1:38 am
oo nga!di pede pudge sa bigginers,baka mamatay pa sila sa rot.pero ok na rin yun kung gusto nilang matuto ng mabilis para mahirapan talaga.ako nga 1st hero ko mirana.per mas mahirap gamitin, mas mabilis mag-iimprove.yun yung para sakin.
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:57 pm
10 best hero is
Mirana
1) Rikimaru
2) Doom bringer
3) Jahrakal
4) Medusa
5) Ursa warrior
6) Sand king
7) Venge
9) Lion
10) Raigor
Its my perception ..
February 6th, 2010 at 7:47 am
sama nyo na man sa usapan si pitlord
February 12th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
dpat tlga kasama c troll jan kz when im a beginner ill try to use troll,aun mas nalibang ako mag dota kz laks ng hero ko…kh8 beginner ka,ndi halata baxta agmit mu c TROLLWARLORD….
February 17th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
That was really, really mean to every dota noob, u said u will “probably be coward to stay close to your enemies.” Not only was it really mean and slightly discouraging, u forgot to put an a in there
February 18th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
You know,when i first started playing dota, i use invoker.Wow!! thats is very awesome .This dude has lots of skills to use.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:45 am
1. kardel
2. venge
3. venomancer
4. troll
5. rikimaru
6. razor
7. yurnero
8. viper
9. luna
10. traxex
imba kau, mga bobo, basta agi madali lang gmitin, pustahan, khit ikaw, nung nagccmula kpa lang, puro long range gamit mo.. @____@
February 21st, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Damn. Ian is a noob. And please everyone, improve the grammar. :)) Ian is totally a newb. Giving advices he doesn’t even know. Haha. Kardel can use his scatter shot because it still does some damage even to heroes. If you have a hard time surviving, better put stats. Kardel is the best for beginners, but he’s deadly for experienced players. You do nothing except attack then assasinate. o.o But if you have experience, you could use his scatter shot to spam in the lane. :)) Ian=Total Noob
February 23rd, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Lina takes lots of skills to play, why didn’t you just put up Envoker while you were at it?
February 23rd, 2010 at 1:46 pm
Lina takes a lot of skills to play, just cuz she has loads of damage doesn’t mean you get an easy kill. Why didn’t you just put up Envoker while you were at it?
February 26th, 2010 at 10:41 am
It is still a good list of suggestions nevertheless.
March 2nd, 2010 at 1:23 pm
As I know, I think Lucifer is the best hero, with his doom.. Lucifer have high damage with his doom.. Is there any else hero who have damage more than Lucifer?? Please advise..
March 21st, 2010 at 11:47 pm
My opinion
1)Razor
2)Troll (Both range and melee heroe)
3)Traxex (Lothar’s Edge needed for newbies)
4)Sniper (Lothar’s Edge needed for newbies)
5)Lina (do not waste mana) and i agree with jeez no. 32
6)Rikimaru
7)Bloodseeker(a very helpfull passive ability called Blood Bath that regenarates life when you kill a creep or a heroe)(Don’t forget to deny with this heroe because Blood Bath is also effective when you deny your creeps).
8)Naix (passive lifesteal and a really helpful ulti for newbies)
9)Skeleton King (Reicarnation)
10)Prophet
Never try these heroes if you are a newbie:
1)Geomancer (DONT PICK HIM)
2)Invoker (DONT PICK HIM)
3)Sylabear
4)Butcher
5)Mirana
6)Golbin Techies
7)Tauren chieften

March 28th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
….alam niu mga kupal kau
April 6th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
I would suggest Medusa, and pangit sa beginners ung dumadami tendency natataranta.
April 8th, 2010 at 5:03 am
Kardel (Sniper) and zeus shouldn’t be on there in my opinion.
Luna Moonfang and Centaur Warchief might be hard to skill/item build for newbies also
Jah’rakal Troll Warlord, Slithice (naga siren), Abbadon lord of avernus - All should definitely be on there.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:34 am
bkt wla c troll warlord jan?????. . . . .
April 15th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
My fav is Troll…

May 13th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I would Put these:
1. Dragon knight
2. Troll warlord
3. Sniper
4. Roofleen
5. Lich
6. Rikimaru
7. Traxex
8. Vengeful spirit 9. Medusa
10. Skeleton king
May 16th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
I agree about most of your heroes but Lina Inverse and Zeus is really not the best noob choice. Still why won’t you put Tiny or Yunero? By the way, does anyone know which item is best for a str hero?
May 17th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
everyone of is poor dota player..hahaha
May 17th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
i chose bloodseeker to overwhelming troll warlord of sentinel
May 28th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
y no troll??
June 12th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
want 1 on 1 i will use ursa warrior
June 12th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
Ian traxex is stronger than crystal maiden if u know how to use it
June 14th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Clinkz aint easy to use… at all.
Luna is
June 26th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
krobelus..lage gamit q…
tsaka c rhasta
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:13 am
i think that razor is best cause of his movement speed .so mostly like when blade strts furry on him he can so i best to make some attack speed bonus so it is unbeatable
July 4th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Nah, the best noob hero is probably vengeful spirit. Ranged, and fairly simple but powerful abilities– especially the stun. I wouldn’t recommend that any noob start out with a non-ranged or intelligence character, except maybe Night Stalker.
July 14th, 2010 at 6:04 am
they shoudlve added davion. hes fun to use for noobs and great tank
July 24th, 2010 at 6:37 am
MGA BOBO// weak pa !!!!!!!
the best for beginners is those who have many passive skills
and int type????
it is not for beginners
weak you all
