Hello every one I am Ninja Trigger, I have been playing League since season one not ranked atm, "not my ingame name on my main account on league"

but I just started playing Dota2 because a friend of mine said it may improve my skills for league as far as CS and map awareness goes, so I have played a few bot games and failed epicly, I started moving someones courier thing around instead my own Hero and got the entire team mad at me and lost a few bot games on easy very discouraging :(

so where is the best place to start, and when I say start I mean start. Like I need more then a map and a compass I need someone to teach me how to read the map and the compass, I'm that lost in Dota2 at least for now anyway. I'm sure I will catch on sooner or later

"note I'm not just playing Dota2 to improve on my league skills I want to play Dota2 just as much as league"

First start playing full bots matches(not co-op bots). There are many guides that may be found on youtube. One of the best guides you may find is Purge's: Welcome to DotA! You suck! and if you want go to the dota2wiki and keep scrolling down till you find the " New to dota" part (it's next to a video). There is also this, since your from LoL:Switching from LoL - What should I know?. If you have anymore questions please ask :)

"Welcome to Dota, You Suck" is - by far - the best guide for beginners.

The funny thing is that both of them suggested the first link Yoda (the first guy answering Ninja Trigger) posted. :D
