Hi guys I'm new to dota 2 and not familiar with character pictures. I was wondering is there a way on the hero selection screen where I can know what heroes my team is shadow picking/already picked (i.e. the 5 pictures on the respective Radiant/Dire sides)? I tried scrolling over the pictures but nothing shows up. Any help will be appreciated.

What do you mean? While picking, at the top of your screen, in the left and right, you can see your team and the enemy team.

You can see what your team is picking, if the picture of the hero is gray, the team mate is just looking at the hero, if the picture is colored, it means the team mate chose that hero.

Is this what you need?

Or you don't know the names of the heroes?

Well, when you're in game, you can click on each of them to see their hero's name, or, you can open the scoreboard to see.

Thank you for your response hades4u. What I mean is I can see the heroes and their pictures but I have no idea who they are in a Character Selection Screen. I want this information so I can possibly pick something suitable for the team. I know that I can see their names when we enter the actual game but that will be past the picking phase and I might have chosen a non-helpful hero.

on the left top side of the screen you can switch between the menu and your actual game by clicking the arrow symbol

just do it and go the "learn" section, there you can find the infos you need :)

If youre new you should not be playing CM and picking for your team.

He's not playing CM though.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I'll just have to learn what all the heroes look like as an easy fix haha.

you can hover over parts of the cards to see the primary attribute and the hero's skills.
