Dota 2 adds player-created in-game guides

You ruined everything, idiot. Uninstall Dota 2 now. Then take your hard drive out and beat yourself around the face and genitals with it. Then kill yourself. In real life.

They offer advice on which skills to select when, how to use them, which items to buy, and general strategy.
