Zelkova; I watched the game you were playing before I joined you and I noticed a few minor things. If you are interested I'd like it if we went through your settings before actually playing, that way I can help with courier mechanics, shop related stuff and some ui stuff in general. I think that will help tackle the most basic questions and problems you might be having atm. You're already a good player, experimenting with heroes and item builds will be much much easier once you are comfortable with those minor things.
Just let me know, it should take 5 mins or less and next time you play a game I'd like to coach you, that way I can focus on you, and Shikage if he's also there. It should be easier compared to playing and trying to watch what you guys are doing at the same time.
I think one of the huge major changes to this game from League is how I move my character. In league you can right click, hold down the button, and just drag anywhere you want to move. In Dota2 if you rightclick and hold it down your character only goes to the location where you first right clicked. This causes me to die 9 times out of 10. (With the 1/10 being when some peach with slow on their aa chases me down).
Little things like F2 + W to send the courier to the secret shop helps a ton. I think I just need to learn heroes now.
(Example: Only after playing 20 minutes on Crystal Maiden did I realize that she gets bonus damage from aa'ing things she has frozen.)
