Realistically, you can probably wait for someone else to upload it. If I see it floating around on /r/dota2 I'll make sure to post it for you.
And yeah there are all these non-intuitive mechanics in the game like bottlecrowing, stacking, pulling, armlet/tread toggling, orbwalking, shift-queueing, max range blink dagger decrease, and heck everything related to bkb and linken's sphere.
Like yesterday I realized that Spirit Breaker's bash goes through magic immunity.
It seems like people expect you to either go through 10 years of innovation and testing by yourself or to look it all up on the incomplete wikis and memorize it all. Like, pineapple, Skadi's explicitly states that it doesn't stack with lifesteal. Yet it does (but only for melee!).
Like seriously, something like that is actually a bunch of bullshit. People say that "oh it raises the learning curve and makes the game less casual," but pineapple that. I'm all in favor of having the game be complex and having weird interactions but flat-out lying on the item description and never announcing it is flat-out stupid. It's artificial and it adds nothing.

But yeah, if you think you've figured out what you're doing in dota, if you're not competing in the international you're probably missing something.
