Ursa jungle is piss easy if you can add up 2 + 2 and it gets him farmed quite well. Too bad he's quite useless unless your team makes up for the lack of real disable.

What about SS? IMO, he's pretty fun to play but i don't really know much about the game so i don't know how much use he is in a team battle.

For junglers: Play enigma - get dagger + boots of travel = learn teamwork. With enigma seeing as you're jungling all the time you can pay attention to everything on the map and look where you're needed most. Once you get your dagger if you gank a lane that has any type of nuke or disable you'll very likely get a kill or double kill.

For laners: Depends. Just pick anything and look at their team, your team, and factor in the best strategy for you to play your hero from that. Storm Spirit is kind of difficult to play because he's heavily item dependent. You can conserve your mana and play him fairly intelligently with not too many items as well as he definitely has potential for ganking etc.

SS is really not one of the easiest heroes, tbh. And just as Testie said, he needs a shitton of farm to really shine.

Also needs clutch execution for proper ganks.

You just need experience, don't worry. I remember when I started out my friend would kept telling me to "last hit only" and heck I had no clue what he was talking about...

Mkay. Yea. i generally -random when i play with TL so i can learn how to play more heroes. but i don't have the knowledge of TL with me when i play with my friends (we play gay 3v3's and what not) so i want to find a hero that can do well in those type of games :\

i was playing a game with my friends the other day and i lost because my other teammate was too busy pushing a lane when i had to defend 1v3 with SS against chen PL and ES..that was annoying tbh

so i just want to find a hero that can do well solo...especially against PL. BS maybe?

BS, Slardar and BH are all good counters to PL. This knowledge doesn't really apply to 3v3 games though.

BS and Axe should rape PL easily enough.

Axe doesn't lose. >:O

this helped me a lot
you can look up skillbuild, itembuilds very nicely, even after you randomed a hero
if you are quick you should have a rough idea what you should do with this hero

you could try shadowfiend, even though he is not sooo easy to play and has no real escape mechanism, he can carry quite good and he can dominate a lane

edit: 2 things if you are really new, sf is maybe not the best choice because he is quite fragile, it requiers some experience
and the 2nd thing: some of the quides are quite old, only take the green ones and keep in mind that they all refer to 6.59 or some earlier version, not 6.60

the newer guides are generally not bad, but sometimes you have to use common sense
so don't use rapier or radiance on cm or so =)

Yeah I look at those guides when I random a hero, just for a sort of guideline on what to do

In pubs I realize that sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and accept a loss. Asking for teamwork in a pub (someone to ward, get a chicken, call for a gank, switch lanes) is really frustrating but over time I got used to people not doing it.

I'm still new to the game and I always tend to stop farming early but I've realized just playing more and getting used to what different heroes can do is so far working out for me. I've probably only played with maybe half the heroes available more than once but it helps to also try out the AI map (which kinda sux when the computer starts with either Extra Gold or Fast Experience because it totally destroys any kind of real game dynamics you can expect).

Or you can play a carry and massively outfarm your opponent with superior laning skills.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

tiny is the only hero with an ult that has a negative effect on himself

it makes NO sense for him to lose attack speed so he gains almost nothing with the increased damage
