Hello! I started playing DotA2 yesterday and have played a few matches. Over the years I have played other MOBAs so I am not too unfamiliar but my issue was I never had good foundations with them because I didnt’ care until it was too late.
What would you do if you started DotA2 anew?

Do not turbo, its a Trap.
Enjoy the game.
Play multiple Heroes.
Do not full theory or full playing. Instead, theory, apply it for 5games, theory again… Repeat
Do not full single Heroes or full change every game. Instead have 2 to 3 signatures Heroes that you Come black regulary to focus on something else than learning skills, but also play all Heroes AT some point to have a général knowledge of the game.
Start by using guides and following them blindly, adapt only on jour signatures Heroes
Demo mode must be mastered, démo and try a lot. Mechanics in dota are something long and hard to learning, sometimes pro gamers keep learning. (There is a TI final, og vs liquid, where thé TA player learned something during an important fight, just so you get that its a long and hard learning curve)
Back in the day, I did SD only. Choosing between 3 heroes allowed me to skim-read their abilities fast in the picking phase. Playing also allowed me to recognize previous heroes.
Today, I would probably do all-hero challenge due to lack of players in SD.
Save your mental health, DO NOT PLAY DOTA. GET A LIFE
