great guide for anyone starting the game or even for those that have played dota before. The jungle pulling part was very informative for me since I could never get the timings right.

Post 183 here I come! (jk). Nice guide, read it all even though I've played dota for years, very easy and enjoyable read. You could have done a segment showing a triple pull on the sentinel camp just for cool points. Also sometimes an "imperfect" pull of only 3 melee creeps is better if you're a support pulling because it means more of your creeps will die = less exp for the enemy.

Thanks for the comprehensive guide. Very helpful to refresh my memory in preparation for Dota 2 since I haven't played Dota in years.

great guide, haven't been playing as much dota as back then. Great refresher on the basics to prepare for dota 2! :D
You should maybe do a guide on a brief overview of different hero roles and purposes? That'd be cool

I quit playing DotA years ago after playing it religiously for a year or two but I'm really looking foward to this. I tried going back but it always felt like there was input lag.
