28 pages! Whoa the Dota 2 interest is spiking significantly! I like that the basics of the game can be put so clearly and succinctly but the intricacies and effects of laning/jingling etc have such big impacts on the game. I feel for beginners a lot of the time games are won or lost in the laning phase.

The YouTube links were a great example hehe I appreciate the effort!

Thanks a lot for the pulling description and vids from Bumblebee, these are great info for a newbie like myself. About the runes, does a bottle have to be empty to get a rune and does an empty bottle auto grab a rune? This is a really basic question but last time I tried asking a basic question in a similar game (HoN; how to share a courier) the abuse went on for about 30 mins

Bottle autograbs the runes in DotA2 no matter if the bottle is full or not.

I've always been terrible at pulling camps, hopefully the video can help me out in that area. For your next guide could you do one about positioning?? Like in a fight where should each type of hero be, when should they come into the fight, where should they be laning, how can a solo avoid early ganks in a lane, especially against 2 stunners etc?

I played DotA for a long time but I didn't know about Roshan's devotion aura. Nice writeup overall.

So if you stand near the rune the bottle just grabs it? That might not be necessarily good right? What if you're waiting to give it to someone on your team?

From what I've heard from people in the Beta, if you right click the rune, it goes straight into the bottle, no matter if it's full or not. What you can't do right now is use the rune before sending it to the bottle, but that's something that would happen very, very rarely.
