The game has quite a large learning curve, so don't expect to be bossing it on the first few games, if you played hon or LoL then you will find this game easier to get into.

Tutorial for first game - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzYNyDF_nDk
Skip to 10:00 if you want to skip basically what I say below

There a few roles that characters fit into and they can fit into multiple

Carries - Damager basically, need lots of farm to be any good during the game but very effective near the end e.g. Juggernaut

Tanks - Good for team fights as they can stand till the end taking all the damage e.g. Tidehunter(Also a support and initiator)
Tidehunter guide - http://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/hero/-9

Support - Some characters are just better played by getting support items, this is probably due to them having a support ability e.g. Keeper of the light
Kotl guide - http://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/hero/-98

Semi-support - Can do average damage not mainly focused around support items, these hero's characters are usually "initiators" also e.g. Sandking

Initiator - They basically start the team fights, usually by using their ultimate which does high damage right off the start

e.g. Sandking

Sandking guide - http://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/hero/-38

The characters I listed are relatively easy to play so I suggest using them if playing for the first time.

If you want almost a sure way of winning, play Keeper of the light, in the lower skill bracket which is what you will be in at first. People don't really realise that support characters are essential and pick 5 carries as their team since carries usually get the most kills
The reason being is that the "farm" you get during the game will not split well between 5 people, so support characters should get less farm but make up for it in the items they get to support their teams carries and harrasing the enemy team's carries during the laning phase.

Sure Starbuzz just PM me your steam ID, that character is Windrunner btw, a carry

If you want any for your friends also just pm me their ID
