New to the game! Need advice in General Discussion
BasmatiHA!

    Alright now, it's been 3 weeks I've been playing dota. A friend of mine suggested me to play offline with bots first before going online so pretty much know some basics of the games. I've played a few online games, and I find it really confusing what to do next in game. It's like there often comes a time where my team just roam aimlessly around map (not confusing it with gank). We often fail to push and end up playing defensive the entire game not progressing. I try to be cooperative and not die and feed. But still ultimately we lose. If some experienced player can provide suggestions about the game, It'll really be helpful! I know it might be abit annoying to teach a newbie, but still looking forward for advice....

      Bot games are good if you're new to the game
      Stick to playing certain heroes, preferably simply ones
      Check out how high mmr players play
      Apply logical thinking into your gameplay, be open minded and critical
      Find opportunities, and abuse them

          That basically describes every pub game. People wonder around aimlessly, farm for no reason and don't push unless they accidentally win a fight right next to an enemy tower.
          Looking at some of your games, the laning of your teams seems really weird. You had a game where you were mid dazzle, another where you as DP shared mid with a sniper and one where you were QOP and laned in the safelane with Jugg. Since you're a new player, I don't expect you to know where to lane which hero but learning who should lane where and what that hero should be doing in lane is going to make your games a lot easier.
          As Dazzle you should probably be supporting safelane and making an effort to harass the enemy heroes and ensure your carry gets farm. As QOP you should be solo mid and make sure you get last hits while preventing the enemy mid from getting last hits and levels.
          As DP you should probably also be solo mid. If someone else on your team insists on going mid its probably better for you to move to one of the side lanes and farm there. A dual core mid will just end horribly.

          Your main problem is that you don't know the role of each hero and don't understand the purpose that hero has in the game. This is something that you will just learn over time, I cant really explain what each hero is meant to do in a game, especially since some heroes can fit multiple roles. Just play more games and you'll eventually get a feel for what heroes do. Also maybe watch a few pro games. TI7 is on now so that's a good place to start.

          Most importantly have fun. You're new to the game, so you probably will lose more than you win at first. I know I did. Nobody expects you to singlehandedly win every game.
