    So far, my favorite role has been a ranged attacker, though I can't remember which hero was my favorite.

    I started playing last week, and so far I have done some of the tutorials and played 2 non-public games with a friend and with/against 8 AI players. So, if I have an MMR, it's whatever it starts at.

    So far, I like the game, but am definitely not ready to show the world my DOTA2 "skills" :)

      At first I read this and my mind immediately went to D&D where fighters specializing in ranged weapons are vastly underrated. And then I read on to see you were talking about DOTA and I realized my thought had nothing to do with it. :(

        Well, I'm sure some people still don't give ranged attackers their due in DOTA, also :)

      Haha. You get your MMR after you become level 13 and play 10 "calibration" matches.

      If you like to play ranged carry, I can recommend checking out Drow Ranger, she is very strong and relatively easy to play. Another one would be Razor, you can try him out too, he's insanely fun.

      Another noob-friendly powerful damage-dealing hero is Viper (but he falls off in the late stages of the game).

        I will make a note of those. I guess I need to just keep on with the tutorials for a bit. Online games I usually play (MUDs) tend to allow for a lot of solo, so I'm not really looking forward to being the target of someone's ire when I am on their team and inept - but I'll get in there eventually :)
