You can press the hotkey while controlling either the hero or the spirit, but both must stand still and complete the channel time (about 2 seconds?). If you issue orders to the hero the channel stops and no stomp happens. I don't think u can issue orders to the spirit but if you do and he moves it means the channel stopped as well.

They are linked so for one to stomp both must stomp.

Does the spirit finish the stomp if it hits its duration halfway through the animation?

No. If one is canceled they both stop.
If you want to catch a rabbit just hide behind a tree and make the sound of a carrot.

Midas on AM is viable aswell if you get guaranteed freefarm for 15 minutes

More that midas on am is viable if you cannot afk farm after 6 minutes. Say you farm your perserverence and claymore, but they kill you every time you try to farm for the broadsword. Your battlefury is worthless, say what you want about making your farm explode, but you're not going to get a chance to farm until the game's already lost.

Who are the best counter-puncher heroes? Who is the hero that just chills in the lane, doing his thing, until the enemy tries to jump him and he just laughs in their face and gets the counter kill?

At least Puck and Nyx have skills that allow you to dodge the enemy initation and turn around to fight when their stun/nuke/whatever was missed or reflected.

i doubt its a coincidence. look up some guides around here already. one of them is written specifically for players transitioning from lol. its quite well written and will tell you everything you need to know about starting off

well, its not toalyl so that you can say heroX = roleY

from dota-wiki:
Roles


as i said, some roles arent really fixed. so there are semi-carries and such.
maybe check the dota-wiki for more infos.

Pick a well written guide in this forum and start from there, if you don't like reading wiki for 60 hours.

Well I can see there are quite a few different roles a hero can play but i was hoping to get like more of a base line. I do have experience in league. Where we a have a

Top- Tanky bruiser
Mid- Bursty ability user
Jungle- Ganker
Bot
(ADC) Main late game Dmg Dealer carry
(Support) Doesnt get gold Peeler Or buffer.

Something like that I heard of a trilane so i know things are different but an over view would be nice. And then just some solid picks that are strong. Like for instance I played Drow and she was really lack luster and didn't feel like an amazing carry. I rather not have to play every mediocre champ. And would like to know ones that are strong. I like playing LIch for instance cause he feels powerful.

So just a few strong heros for each role would help me have a good starting point.

I can't really type an extensive answer on my phone but it's cute to see you label Lich as strong and Drow as mediocre. ^_^

as stated earlier, read the guide. its exactly for people like you and it saves us the trouble of having to explain to you that your whole understanding of dota is wrong from the beginning. there are no set roles and there are no mediocre heroes

O boy you have so much to learn.
I remember coming over from League around two or two and a half years ago.

Forget everything you thought you knew.
You wont find a "baseline" in where heroes go to lane, that is EXTREMELY fluid compared to League, where champs are made for a specific lane.

gimme a second and il find a good LoL to Dota guide.

Here are a couple threads that you might find to be worth skimming through

This thread still has lots of solid advice and random links. It's not maintained nowadays, the initial initiative and most of the posts in the thread however were awesome as fuck.

PS: The above links are all fake, this is the real deal yo~

PPS: Please don't tell Yango I linked this or he'll frantically start updating all his outdated shit in there. :3
