I think pausing shouldn't be instant, there should be the 3 second countdown then it pauses.
When you unpause, should be instant.

I hope your joking, but if there's tons of lockdown I build a BKB.
I've been building him as a tank that just initiates aggressively and relies on helixes, but I'm going to try Ketch's idea of right clicks.
As I understand it, success is a quantification of how "successful" you were in a game based on stuff like KDA and Risk. So rather than saying you won 60% of your games against a hero, the success might actually say you were only 30% successful across all those games indicating that you were carried or didn't participate as much. It's basically a custom metric created by Dotabuff only available to Plus members.

That's really good actually. I mean it would be impossible to get actual armour so the effort here is great.
Should have done Arcana

Best anti-pub hero. How do you build him.
Also to everyone else, how do you lane Doom and Lycan? I can't seem to figure them out.

Phase, Mek, Shivas, then whatever I can.
Midas if possible. It's always time for midas though.
Get howl lvl 1 Lycan, ez kills w/ the bonus dmg.
I think it's only inefficient compared to an easy lane. I'll take the jungle over a contested lane for most heroes that are decent in the jungle. I also don't think most people are very good at being efficient in the jungle. It's something that you actually need to practice.

play chen/enchantress, also learn to jungle axe like akke
Depending on what MMR you are in and your skill on the hero, could be easy. My easiest games have been on Pudge.
If you can play it well, ignore the naysayers of your team. I know I have had matches like that Tinker one I played on stream with Pudge yesterday: Where your team bickers before the two minute mark, and you make the plays and suddenly they all shut up and play.
Do mine, do mine!
I have a feeling it is Mirana.
well that was funny

hit some hooks
failed some hooks
luna got angry and wanted nothing to do with the team
at one point I think I just ran in and died because I had no clue what to do xD
Pudge is weird. I think ill stick to imba spirit and CM. at least it wasn't ranked.

People who want solo queue don't realize there's a limited number of players and a limited number of pool to pull a team from, so the more you divide this pool up, the harder it is to match them with even skilled players and the worse quality matches will be as a result.
But try and tell them that...
Don't change it. It's good that the lane is more efficient since jungle is safer and harder to contest.
Everyone usually fails their first Pudge game, don't sweat it. I know I did. Just practice hooking in unranked and you'll get the hang of it.well that was funny

Also if you miss a hook while your teammate watches, they will probably give you unwarranted bitching even if you hit the rest of your hooks. Sometimes they are understanding but other times it turns out like that. Such is the life of Pudge.

It takes a lot of time and patience to even get to the point where you have some idea of what you are doing. Don't give up and keep trying.
Another thing you should note, at your starter level, chances are if you lose to something, it is probably something extremely beatable, such as an Armlet Riki I saw in a friend's game once. Research what you get beaten by and see how you can counter it in the future, or if it is actually a valid stray, try it. Ask around about these things too.

Never give up! Never surrender!
How many games have you played total? If it's like a thousand and you don't feel you've improved at all then maybe give up tho...
If it's less than a hundred what you're feeling is normal and should go away as you play more and understand the game better.
VVV Yeah also that. The game isn't for everyone and if you gave it a fair shake, it might just not be your gig. If you aren't having fun...
Do you enjoy playing it?
I'd say that is possible if your tactics are "struggle and try to figure out what to do from my teammates and enemies"
When I used to play HoN I played plenty of games and learned nothing. Someone asked me to buy wards and I thought the runes were wards so I went and stood at the rune spot. Then my team asked where the wards were and I asked "What are wards?" They laughed and stated kick and concede votes.
I be he. It'as an alt.
