At least some percet of it is idle menu, but I do haver over 1k games played.
But honestly, it's just watching dota related media, reading up wikis, reading forums, testing stuff out in private lobbies (like I was wondering wether the Lich's ult worked well with refresher, turned out bugged, I posted it on Devdota and a month later it gets fixed).
You also learn by playing pubs a lot, since it's a place where anything goes, so anything can be a surprise.

Ever heard of BeardyDuck ?
[QUOTE=Maruhai;38781989]Ever heard of BeardyDuck ?[/QUOTE]
Pretending to know shit doesn't count.
Pudge starts munching on my papery support skin, enemy invoker uses Tornado. Fast forward later that match, Pudge tries to get another meal and then CM uses Eul's on me :v:
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;38782096]Pretending to know shit doesn't count.[/QUOTE]
you're right, my thousands of hours in dota doesn't matter because apparently my knowledge of the game is too complex for you to understand therefore you resort to berating me in threads.
[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;38775555]happened like 3 minutes ago.
get into a match, right off the bat my team picks Huskar and Naix. alright, cool. I random Centuar, even cooler. friend picks Pudge and the last guy on our team picks Sven instead of a support. We ask him why he picked Sven (politely) and he goes "Sven is kinda a support." (it lists him as a support last but he should never be played that way) which lead to a lot of "what" from our team. He goes "okay then." and [b]abandons the match in the first 40 seconds.[/b]
just why[/QUOTE]
a bit late replying, but once i was playing Silencer, and some guy picks Sven, he said "going with Silencer to bot" i thought "oh well time to support"...
And for my surprise, he bought a courier, he bought sentries to counterward the block, he stacked and pulled, and harrased the enemy team a lot, i got Treads/Forcestaff/Atos at 20 mins, he was the best support i ever had.
I seriously buy courior and all these support items and people expect me to mid wisp?
I fucking hate solo queue.

I had a Faceless Void on my team do that, and he still kept up in farm with their carries. He didn't miss a single last hit, ended up on 250 in 40 minutes or so.
Talk about last-hitting, I swear sometime soon enough my nervous system will break down.
[editline]11th December 2012[/editline]
Not to mention animation cancelling when jungling, or so, when trying to maximize DPS on a creep. Ugh!
I just had one of my best matches ever, my second only single-queue ever.
Turns out my team was amazing, unless you count a stupid ass Undying. He kept initiating a full on team-fight ALONE, even when we all said no, after which he called us noobs for not going in. Against a Viper and a Faceless Void (we were all melee, amazing pick I know) who were kicking our asses at the start.
He also kept unpausing when three of the guys from the other team had to restart.

The Pudge and Kunkka were amazing though. As in nice and all. Still can't believe we won against the team which we, well, won.
Drow on my team, gets x4 in her arrows, gets her ulti, gets 1 level of her aura as she hits level 10 after I yelled at her to do soand put the rest in stats.
why
why
can I least have a drow who knows she should take her aura for omgwtfdamage on my team?

Animation canceling is completely useless unless you are orb walking, you attacks will ALWAYS have the same time between them. It's only useful for certain spells that have a long pullback time.

honestly doing this is not as bad as people make it out to be, leveling up his mana drain is extremely underrated

i tend to put 2 points in mana drain in the laning phase
i would have lost an undying lane as lion if it werent for the fact i constantly leaked ALL his mana
and the gold it saves you is essential to keeping up with the tide..
I had a guy yell at me for not taking hex at lv. 2- he tower dived during minute 7 and gave up first blood. A little communication goes a long way, as usual!

I don't think so. And I think it depends on the Hero.

On top of that. you have to endure all of that shit in russian half the time and you have no clue how to communicate. In the end, you just can't really help the team, but if you're lucky, the 4 russians get along fine enough for THEM to work together. all the while, you're sitting in Scandinavia, being told to "Shut the fuck up, dumb American" and your perplexion and rage reaches new highs. Which is why i'm now on a break.
yeah. Communication would go a long way.

Oh shit. I actually wrote some of that in russian? I'm sorry. I'm just so used to inserting all my communicative text into Google translate.

Standard Lion for me if I'm against mana-heavy heroes:
q, w, e, e, e, r
Lets me Hex and Spike if needed immediately, and after that I'll simply drain them dry.
God. you're such a Qweer!
Went mid as sniper and ran into a Tinker and a BH.
You can probably guess how that turned out.

So I get random draft.
Pick Furion. (I get my favorite hero, I bet we'll win this one!)
Say I'm gonna jungle and then become the master of the universe.
Lifestealer thinks I need aid in jungle, he promptly starts jungling until I somehow convince the (of course hes russian) guy into laning. After he dies to fucking SILENCER AND PUCK in what isn't even a solo lane he decides to hang around with me and do jack shit until he can steal the last hit.
He does this for several minutes and camps, costing me thousands of gold and xp.
I would've had a fucking 6 min midas and be level 7 by the 7 minute mark then suddenly my farm slowed to a creep and I was level 7 at 10 min.
I usually get Desolator, Treads, Midas, Scepter by 16 min.
*30 minutes later*
Just 100g more and I got desolator.. OOPS FED DROW 2 SHOT ME, TIME TO TRY AGAIN.
Meepo randomly leaves after being bad at life.
Lifestealer leaves afterwards after saying we were all bad.
The worst part however, was the Venomancer on the other team. (And the entire other team)
He was like "I'M NOT EVEN TRYING, YOU SERIOUS I'M NOT EVEN TRYING, LOL WANNA SEE ME TRY?" Then when I questioned both his logic and skill by saying he died trying after Riki killed him after boasting he'd try he says "I'M GONNA REPORT YOU BOTH FOR CANCER, GO LOW PRIORITY WHERE YOU BELONG, O LOOK I ALREADY REPORTED FURION HE WAS PROBABLY A WHINY BITCH IN ANOTHER GAME TOO FUCKING WHINY BITCH"
I am 100% convinced I'd roll over these guys if Lifestealer didn't ruin my game, as I got 2 towers with so little farm and 4 fed enemies that I literally can't run from (Puck, Silencer, Alchemist, Drow Ranger) As well as the fact they weren't exactly good in any other respect than being fed.
The Drow also tried to be a bad troll by saying "UMAD" over and over.
The Silencer continually said "Hush... Dreams only" for the entirety of 40 minutes.
The Venomancer was cocky as fuck as previously explained.
Last match, a moron that picked AM and did everything he could to troll and grief it as hard as possible.
It was actually a very shitty attempt but still worked.
He refused to help, said I was going afk on tower (???) on all while I was obiously fighting the enemy. Alone, because sadly I had to lane with him. Then he went ahead and made helm of domination. It only got worse from there. The match lasted 30 mins, thank god.
I still don't get it. What's the point of this?
I mean, Yes, I'm sorta pissed (mostly because I had a bluescreen before this match), but I'll forget all about this by tomorrow.
The only thing you "win" is lost time.
This slark, starts great, ganks the sidelanes, laning phase finishes and he gets ballsy, dies while chasing (and most of the enemy team alive)
Then the enemy starts to 5 man, me and someone else warned him about chasing too much and to splitpush when the enemy was 5 man pushing
everytime he would repeat that He didn't know how to play that hero, how he played it three times, which was dumb, since he did good early, and his deaths came from overexteding and trying to engage the enemy rapetrain

I played with a Gyro like that. Was balling completely out of control, hit lvl 12 @ 9 minutes and then started failing utterly and fed like a maniac.
Someone from my team instalocks Drow Ranger and someone else picks Lina, the other team had already picked all their heroes, they were all squishies (Zeus, Furion, Sniper and Rubick) so I decided to pick Pudge since we didn't have a mid yet. The Drow instalocker had already went mid when I went in the game, I asked if I could mid instead and that he could get better farm at the safe lane. He says 'did you pick pudge in spite of me? im staying mid, drow has 60% win rate'. Rest of my team randoms Night Stalker and Brewmaster (they both asked if Pudge could mid instead, the lanes would have 1 melee and 1 ranged that way). We got absolutely destroyed, Rubick would just lift me and Sniper auto attacked me to death, they wouldn't even let me stay in exp range. Their mid managed to farm Force Staff and Aghanims within 15 minutes. Really tired of people ruining games with their dumb decisions.
I saw a really rude guy in a pub in Edinburgh once.

Had something similar. We picked Pudge, Lifestealer, Lich and Shadow Fiend. They had Queen of Pain, Undying, Weaver, Skeleton King and Venomancer. What does our last guy pick?
Fucking FACELESS VOID. The thundercunt then decides he should go bottom with Shadow Fiend instead of top with Lich, forcing me to go lane top with Lich instead. 3 minutes in he shows up on top all of a fucking sudden and demands I go jungle. Obviously by this point I've already lost too much farm to really do anything, and to top it all off he feeds 8 deaths in little over 5 minutes then ragequits.
which team were you
Lifestealer is a good jungler tbh

how do you even feed 8 deaths in five minutes

I wanted to jungle originally (Radiant), but that would leave Lich solo against Skeleton King and Windrunner - yeah no.
He fed 8 deaths in 5 minutes by rushing in, dying, respawning with a TP Scroll to go straight back to top to do it again.
