Guide to Dota2, the heroes are spoiled for choice: Tiny, the Stone Giant.

Dota 2 is a multiplayer real-time strategy game, distributed by Valve's Steam platform. In this game, two teams of five players have the objective of destroying rival structures by controlling characters called heroes. They can neither control the structures nor the units that appear from time to time.
 

There are 119 heroes to choose from, which allows for quite a bit of flexibility in play style and strategy. Therefore, Dota 2 is considered to have a fairly high learning curve, due to all the mechanics present in the characters and the map.

Each hero has certain skills and statistics (strength, agility and intelligence) that modify his attack, life and mana. From time to time, patches try to balance the game to avoid abuse of certain strategies.

Guide to Dota2: Tiny, the Stone Giant.

Coming to life as a chunk of stone, Tiny's origins are a mystery on which he continually speculates. He is a Stone Giant now, but what did he used to be? 

A splinter broken from a Golem's heel? A shard swept from a gargoyle-sculptor's workshop? A fragment of the Oracular Visage of Garthos? 

A deep curiosity drives him, and he travels the world tirelessly seeking his origins, his parentage, his people. As he roams, he gathers weight and size; the forces that weather lesser rocks, instead cause Tiny to grow and ever grow.

Inanimate rock becomes animate when called by the Stone Giant.

Tos.

Grabs the nearest unit in a 275 radius around Tiny, ally or enemy, and launches it at the target unit or rune to deal damage where they land. If the tossed unit is an enemy, it will take an extra 30% damage.

Tiny's gargantuan stature allows him to catapult even the sturdiest of warriors.

Tree Gra.

Grabs a tree to whack enemies on the head. Grants bonus attack range but Tiny is slowed by 25. Attacks deal more damage and fully splash on units along the way. 

The tree can be thrown, expending all the charges, to deal your attack to a unit at a distance.

Grow.

Tiny gains craggy mass, increasing his attack damage, and armor, while slowing his attack speed.

Watching a hill become a mountain is awe-inspiring - especially if the mountain begins laying waste to adversaries.
