I've played 2 games so far >.< I play League so I know all the bare basics of the game, but it's still pretty different. I'm sure there are "noob heroes" that are pretty easy to play and I could do well with; what are they? I played torturer last game and I did relatively decently: I went 2/5/5, and 3 of my teammates were like 0/6/1 each, so I didn't do too badly I guess. Should I just stick with him?

tonights patch might change the hero pool

the easiest to play in the pool right now is night hound since he only has 2 active skills, after that i'd say moon queen since she has 2 active skills, then accursed if you're into a healer/support class

tort is hard hero to master, gotta know what skill build to go and items vs certain heroes

I found a guide on him and I've been going Q > E > R > W > O. Been copying this basically:

i wouldn't play tort, he has 4 active skills, and gets eaten up by the melee heroes in this pool since you don't know what you're doing

tort and pollywog are probably the strongest heroes in this pool, but they're really hard to master

that guide is from 2009, i would not use it

there are a couple of ways to build tort, depending if you're solo mid or in a sidelane and what heroes you're against, I find the Q skill underwhelming compared to the W skill

Impalement is an awesome skill, I would level it way before level 9.


http://www.nigmanoname.com/prodex.html is a really good site for players who start, it provide good information about wards and most of roles with every heroes.

The information is not ''the best'' but to start, it should give you a nice idea.

i always start with stun at lvl 1 then 2 skills into agonizing bonds for earlygame harass/lasthitting/lanepushing
and then max impalement/agonizing bonds

so basically i got 1-4-4-0 and then i max stun and at last ulti since ulti requires so much mana, but its an awesome spell nonetheless
