Tips for each and every hero..Go to google.Com and search for dota items and dota recipes, 2 different searches, you'll get the list of items and what they do. And also the recipes and what each recipe requires, their cost and what they give you.. If possible get a print-out of all that.Start a game with easy comp, 1v1 game and see what you want you're final items to be, and the items and recipes required to make them, (you're items will change corresponding to you're enemies, and their items) (for eg: if you're enemies are using a lot of spells on you, then you'll wanna make a BKB which has Avatar(active) which will give u spell immunity for 10 sec when used. And then you'll have another 5 slots for items (hope u got my point) and depending on your final items, make a few items that might be a part of the final items and a few consumables (hp pot, mana pot, jangoo, bottle, etc..) to survive the start of the game till u make more money.While playing a game, press 'ENTER' and type "-tips" (without the double quotes) and press ENTER again, the game itself will give u 5 tips for the hero you are playing with.Then on google type dota (hero name) strategy.You'll get the hero name, skills, strategy, item build, skill build, and quite a lot more, (yes, you will have to do your homework even if this is just a game.) After you learn all that you need to know, practice on comps, win or lose, play the whole game, nobody likes a player who quit in the middle. Moreover, even if you are losing, see the items made by your opponent, and the skills used, and how it is used, you'll be learning about 2 heroes in every game, unless a hero is repeated..When u think you have a hero that you know to play with, find a friend who know's that hero and play a lan match with him/her and he/she will point out your mistakes or will suggest better items, or strategy... With all those suggestion you can better yourself and go GG..P.S. TIMING IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THIS GAME, PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE GAME.
