      1. Kept buying courier multiple times and wondered why courier is not usable (I didn't know that they need to be activated to be used).

      2. Bought sentry ward since a teammate asked to ward runes.

      epsik-kun

        Isn't senty used to have a small vision back then?
        For me it was stuff like running after being ultied by Bloodseeker, dying to Axe's Battle Hunger and trying to run away from old Naix.

          what old naix? (:3 back then I 1st played dota in 6.54 b

          epsik-kun

            Some retarded death machine with 3 absurdly powerful passives and long-ass BKB for an ulti.

                  I think trying to run while using a channeling ulti was a thing i used to do all the time.

                      Blood seeker was one of my first few heroes and I bought at least 4 treads for him, thinking that his movement speed will stack

                        LOL I thought I could heal using branches as Mirana. I was trolling around the entire time.

                          how do u move the hero?
                          smash buttons and ended up past the enemy tower

                          there weren't tutorials in dota 1

                                OMG I did that like every game! I was used to world of warcraft, spamming spells. It took me a while to adjust to mana regen in dota where you basically save all your abilities for specific fights, especially at the start. I thought perseverance was core on ever hero.

                                  Thought salves work like how pots work in maple, bought a ton of it, tried to use in battle and failed.

                                  Thought mid was the easiest lane since only 1 enemy, called mid every game and feed.

                                  Getting super excited over my first double kill, which i can vividly rmb is a ks from windrunner(now called windranger sadly) powershot.

                                  Maphack and tried to destroy wards without sentries.

                                  Good wc3 noob days:)

                                        Now i recalled how many damn global skill shots/blind hooks i made back then in dota 1 cuz enemies are too easy to guess n being said as maphack even if I Ice Blast-ed a kunkka who was farming creeps on mid lane -_-
                                        and now then my hook is as suck as my winrate on this hero

                                          some1 told me radinace is good on enigma, cause the radiance dmg stacks with ultidmg and that was supposed to be good.

                                          same with treant ulti + radiance, so i built blank radiance on these heroes all the time :D

                                            rush death mask, and rage cause, not only i took 20 min to farm it, but also to notice that it is useless as it is 10% life leech and not 50% :)

                                            That was my very first game of dota (playing luna)

                                                  You haven't played classic World of Warcraft (patch 1.12.2) with nearly zero mana regen.

                                                  @Szotyi3
                                                  Bloodstone is legit on Sniper. You start with arcane boots and then disassemble and make Bloodstone. At level 16 his ultimate costs 375 mana and has 10 seconds cooldown, you sure need all mana regen that Bloodstone offers to spam it.

                                                      My first game back in dota I bought several curriers because I felt bad for the 1 guy who whad to carry everything

                                                        Leverage you go through the secret shop to buy things, cause you do not know how to go

                                                        Nauseaum

                                                          Played about 5 matches without knowing where the secret shop was.
                                                          Only recently discovered how to make the courier go faster ):

                                                            Kept using the left mouse button to move, since i had utterly no experience in any warcraft etc. That was frustrating as fuck, half of time i was unable to use any skill because i got lost on my keyboard.

                                                                Building carry items to Veno and Nerubian Assassin (Now Nyx). They are agi heroes, so agi items I bought...saddest thing is it usually worked anyway because of how low our combined skills were.

                                                                I also remember buying Sange and Yasha to every Str and Agi hero without an orb effect.

                                                                    Oh I remember that. I played from release in 2004 to about 2012. I remember warrior rage issues, priests having no mana while leveling, all of that and it sucked. I was more comparing to wow battlegrounds where you blow shit up and die before anyone goes oom. Some of those old 2v2 arenas during burning crusade though? Brutal. I hated that stupid warlock + paladin team where lock goes 21/30 or something close to that, it was the felhunter mana drain soul link build. They eventually realized how long and painful those matches were and removed mana drain completely from warlocks I think sometime in wrath of the lich king.

                                                                    60fps+

                                                                      Well i am going to tell you the fails i made when i started playing dota 2 (3 years ago) and soon i'm about to quit it. I always bought quelling, even on range support heroes and stole the farm from the carry if i saw that he missed 2/4 creeps of the first wave. Good old times with naix and barathrum + other combos.

                                                                      @Silvers do you still play dota 2?

                                                                                XoD^

                                                                                  I first played wc3 dota in a gaming cafe near my house, where a bunch of people would go sit all day playing dota..

                                                                                  The guys there were busy (in game) and so couldnt teach me..

                                                                                  In my first game, I spent like 10 mins trying to figure out how to pick the hero i wanted.
                                                                                  Then after picking omniknight, I kept selecting the shopkeeper and tried to move him.. Was like 30mins+ into the game before i realized he wasn't my hero.

                                                                                  After finally learning how to move my guy, i proceeded to go to the lane.. and died 3 times to creeps before giving up and leaving. (This was me trying it out in singleplayer before actually going online)...

                                                                                  A week later, I decided to give it another go, and figured I already knew the basics now so Ill go play it online.. Got on Garena, signed in. Picked pheonix and died to the mid tower before creeps spawned.

                                                                                  Learnt like 8 different swear words in my country's national language that day ._.

                                                                                  (I obviously had no clue how to buy items till like my 20th game of dota, by which time I had already been banlisted by most of the people who hosted) Eventually, people helped me and taught me how to buy items and how to magically combine items such as phase boots..

                                                                                  I proceeded to use my new found knowledge to crush my little brother in 1v1s.. :D
                                                                                  The end!~

                                                                                  Androgynous

                                                                                    bought bloodstone on riki and drow in my first few games so that i could feed quicker after dying

                                                                                    plus infinite frost arrow mana on drow

I also always bought force staff instead of blink and it worked! I was hooked with Puck at the time I switched to dota 2 so I still have games with force staff.

                                                                                      ♠║3nvis1on™

                                                                                        I remember just playing clinkz solely for like 1-5 games because I thought invis was "cool". Then, I asked my team how the fuck did I die, since I was invis.. they replied with something like..jesus..you noob picking invis hero..getting countered by dust/sentries.

                                                                                        love for the a7be

                                                                                          Searched 10 minutes every game the secret shop location. Would only build agi items on agi heroes, str items on str heroes and int items on int heroes because anything else would seem inefficient.

                                                                                          Dying to towers even when there was no enemy. Tower too OP.

                                                                                          Any hero that was not a right-click hero was basically useless.

                                                                                                Back when i started, people used to play it on game cafes.. So me and a friend of mine who was also noob plus two of his other noob friends go there, sit and play 2v2 mid only. I only wanted to play as scourge so i get to pick terrorblade because we had no idea if a game mode is a thing..
                                                                                                You know, leeching hp, making a copy of myself to send so i dont die.. my hero.
                                                                                                Fun times.. I didn't know what items did so i bought exactly what my friend bought in game, after spending 5 minutes to find secret shop

                                                                                                After a month or so playing like this once a week, one day the cafe owner saw us and taught us how to build items!! So those papers i used to buy all the time could get some usefulness haha
                                                                                                In my defense, nobody really gave us an starter's guide and it was just a weekly kill a few hours kind of thing back then so i never bothered researching
                                                                                                I think i started with 6.36.. then gave up after 6.40 and started playing again at 6.59 until now
