Ten Basic Ways to Be a Better Dota Player

1. Never die when your death was avoidable.
2. Carry a teleport scroll 100% of the time.
3. Buy and place wards (if none of your allies who are less item dependant than you have done so).
4. Ensure that the courier is bought and upgraded as soon as possible (if none of your allies who are less item dependant than you have done so).
5. Frequently check the minimap to see where everyone is.
6. Always try your best to win the game, regardless of how lost the game might seem.
7. Always focus on self-improvement instead of worrying about what your teammates may have done wrong.
8. Do not get emotional when things are going wrong.
9. Communicate with your team, preferably with voice chat.
10. Try to have fun and enjoy the game!
