Also, to Xyrus: you might want to play an RTS game to improve your micro. I remember playing all kind of strategy games when I was about 13; now I can control difficult Heroes like Chen - my all-time favourite - and Meepo pretty well. I still have some problems with Visage and his familars (since I'm used to control the units on different keys but I control all the familiars on the same group and tab-switch them), but he's pretty op so I can still do well with him.

I also want a computer that can play DOTA at higher than 10FPS, so I can play these games too... T-T

The main problem I have with paying Chen is trying to remember the "order" of the Creeps, so I can use the right amount of Tab presses to automatically switch to it, so not sure if RTSs would help much, same thing with Visage's familiars (although the order doesn't usually matter with them). Although, on the plus side, I have no trouble using Spirit Bear's Items or Enigma's demonic children

For Chen , meepo, and visage I change all the ability keys, if you played wow, my key setup would look like 3 different rotation layered, abilities in the middle, units under hero abilities, items over it..kinda general lol idk it may help
Step 1: Pick Bristleback
Step 2: type in all chat:"GL hf"
Step 3: solo offlane
Step 4: first blood triple kill solo vs trilane
Step 5: continue head butting keyboard
Step 6: don't care, Bristleback doesn't give a ****
Step 7: screenshot repeated: BB OP comments in all chat
Step 8: alternate games with Slark pick

My goal is to get better at my support play and to be more consistent in my games. Also on another note, being able to do impressions of all 105 Dota 2 heroes (I've got quite a few down as of now).

Well, since I'm now "Notable", I should probably add "Start writing guides!!!" to the list...or finish the ones I started but was too lazy/distracted/"Ooh! A shiny thing!...to right.

Become a better jungler, probably. Before I would always go 5 for my team but as we become more and more experienced certain people are becoming fond of the support role. For example, or main mid now frequents a semisupport Witch Doctor, and our roaming Bane has begun to support as Bane a bit. And since I'm sometimes given freedom to play what I want, I often find myself having lots of fun with junglers, particularly Enchantress and Nature's Prophet. I'd like Chen I suppose but he falls off too much late game in my opinion, and so that'd only be good if once we got to midgame I started becoming more of a support (unless there's something I'm missing about his playstyle or build.) So I'd like to learn more junglers, learn the routes and strats more, and become more of a jungler then a supporter.
