Well I'm new and I figured it out in about 2 seconds flat. *Shrug*.
But are you dumb? I don't think so! I literally clicked a bunch of things, brought up the scoreboard, mashed buttons, looked over the key bindings, searched on the internet, and looked in the thread OP.
I'm on a mission to help dumb people navigate undocumented UI features. =P When I get enough of them written up I plan to post them in case anyone else is ever confused.

Only the obvious one. Not accidentally moving when you misclick or a creep dies earlier than expected.
Played my first Matchmaking game as ES. 5-10 min in, Windrunner abandoned and it didn't look too good.
In the end we served them pretty well
And this marks my first Matchmaking victory that counts. Before I won a game that didn't show in the "win" section.
Is there a way to watch the replays I downloaded ingame? Or do I have to search them first, every time I want to analyze a game?

Puck is fucked on top lane.
Come play with us when we do inhouse (NeoGAF channel for chat). Great lots of people basically having fun and no doubt will help you with heroes if you ask. Best way to learn really.

Which was kind of funny after Tobi Wan gave them a lot of shit for picking Zeus when the other team had AM.

Matchmaking takes ages to find a game, and practice lobby hosts are all afk.

filter for lobbys with 123 pass, usually no afk hosts there.
Na'Vi so cheeky. And damn, that Dendi and his Puck never fails to impress. Blink Dagger on Crystal Maiden was amusing, no levels on Arcane Aura until Frost Nova and Frostbite were maxed, wha? Were they favoring her improved nuke and root for the ganking potential? (and just being careful with their mana usage otherwise?)
His heal nuke and Repel skill have a lot of utility. The former can be cast on self (with a soul ring, it's basically a free heal with added proximity damage), on allies, and on allied creeps for ranged harassment. The latter is basically a mini-BKB, so in good hands it can protect allies when they need to deal damage or cast uninterrupted (such as Sand King's epicenter, Enigma's black hole, etc) and blunt the effectiveness of enemy casting.
because in pubs, support doesnt even bother to do it
Was lucky I got to play the beta at a mates place yesterday when he got in and have a taste and was meaning to come here and ask about that. The whole practice lobby area of the game is so clunky and made it really difficult to get into a game, not a very pleasant experience. I wasn't there for too long so I didn't get to see the matchmaking side but hopefully by the time I join the party that's all refined.
Regardless the actual game was really fun, can't wait til I can get some real hands on time with it.
Prophet, Anti-mage, Chen, Broodmother, Faceless Void. Not a fan of hard-ass carries and pushers this game, it would seem.

This is true. I don't understand why they don't, warding is fun!

This guy said it better then me. Was playing as Lich in a game vs an Omniknight and I felt so worthless during team fights.
Is console commands the only to get right click deny to work? That shit is amazing because pressing A + click NEVER worked for me. Wish they add it to the actual options.
ult is an aoe spell that makes things immune to physical attacks for a few seconds. however, you can still use magic to damage them
Echo Slam > Fissure > Aftershock > Enchant totem
Core items: Mana Boots, Blink Dagger
The most important thing a good ES can do is walling with Fissure. Aim it in such a way that your wall will force the opponent to walk around in order to escape (also, you can apply the same skill to help allies get away)
In teamfights you will want to initiate with blink -> Echo when the other team is clumped together.
Note: I'm a godawful ES and this is all theorycrafting garbage I have spewed on your monitor.
Watching now. Good luck!
