 I think something that is underrated is really watching the minimap, as if it's Broodwar you're playing. Especially in pub games, you have to pay attention yourself not everyone always calls missing and its a good habit to get used to. | ||

Positioning is what typically keeps a person from being okay to good, from good to great, and from great to pro, etc. It's like Macro in SC2, it should be a basic that is worked on from the very beginning so it will be a mechanical process in your head, you're always aware of your position, even when you're actually not aware of it. Too many times I've seen bad positioning throw away a lane, or even a game. Yep. This actually can't be stressed enough, especially for new players who simply can't understand why they are being ganked and losing games, even when they are farming decently. Get it in your head that if you die, it is YOUR fault for being in the wrong place relative to your enemies' map presence. Being constantly aware of not only your positioning, but the enemies - and the opportunities that presents - is a big part of what makes the difference between "decent" and having the potential to go pro. | ||

The first thing to learn is that playable characters are called heroes in DotA and not champions. Secondly, explaining what heroes go into certain lanes is challenging. The nuances of each hero make it difficult to categorize past support, carry, and jungler while those don't explain what lane they'll go in. You need to view the two full team lineups. Thirdly, it would be a lot of work to cover the "core item setup on every type of hero" because there are over a hundred heroes. You should look up each one individually rather than one gigantic guide. | ||
