I hear you that real ppl vs comp is night and day but I'm kind of enjoying it right now. Right after the game starts I pause the game for 4-5 minutes, pull up a guide, read up on abilities, item progression, sometimes read a wiki page for more info if it's a character I feel like I just don't understand etc . I'm about 2/3s of the way through so I think I'm just gonna power through the rest of them.
Just be ready for how much about the game you still won't know even after all the guide reading and bot games. But that's the enjoyment of Dota, never ending improvement is possible.

The Legion Commander gets really nasty. Dendi's last game he has a permanent +134 (was hard to see the number, but I think that is accurate) damage bonus just from duels. Looks like a really fun hero.

I'm predicting navi take wisp + LC next tournament. *crosses fingers*

LC ulty does seem a little OP. Ever duel you win at Lv 3 is like adding a 1200 gold broadsword to your inventory.

LC probably a while until she's in -cm, for whatever reason they don't seem to like adding stuff to -cm for a while, could say it's because of potential bugs but that doesn't prevent them from adding stuff even when it still has bugs left anyway. LC is definitely one of the most snowbally hero though, if you get a good start and win a few early duels you can start being able to duel solo kill every supports and from there you end up with stupid amounts of damage so you can actually crush anyone. Other spells are good too, the "apothic shield"-like move is pretty solid if someone(xboct) gets hit by some stun while out of position.

Yeah, I'm am ready for that. All I'm really trying to do right now is improve basic mechanics, get a feel for all the items and uses, and basic hero knowledge so I know who I am laneing against and which heros I like.

Man I haven't finished 10 games for MMR and I'm already hating it.

Have been matched with the worst of the worst; 7 games played, only have won 1. I should just abandon if I see a LC pick.

Keep in mind the first 10 games - especially if you've played much dota don't seem to be hugely impactful on your rating. People have gone 2-8 and ended up like 4200, fear went 5/5 and got 5286.

Lots of people have lost games and done well within that game... and actually had their mmr go up too... just focus on your game and do your best. If youre matched with shitters, the game expects you to lose anyhow.

What are everyone's thoughts on Legion? I think she is a ton of fun to play and snowballs hard. Typical new hero see them picked on my team SHIT (always bad) and when picked on the other team SHIT(they usually are very good)

Legion seems OP in pubs, no idea for pros. I'm having a blast with her. After blink its just picking off supports all day long. And she can jungle if need be.

Just got my rank, 2802 (solo) here.
