so i played a few bot games and my conclusion is
DAMN its been awhile since i played dota
the map is much larger, and it is much easier to lose track of your map awareness. i did pretty terrible mostly due to the fact that i didn't pay close enough attention in the earliest levels and someone would come up and kill me, but by my last game with sand boy i was getting things done, killing and supporting the team like i was supposed to be. i think the shop interface is a little wonky compared to what i'm used to but its just what you're used to, by the 3rd game i knew where to find what i was looking for no problem. i also got chop, but i think that's latency; i could be wrong but that's what it looked like to me.
overall i'm really excited about this game. now just to do some research on a couple champs so i know how to build intelligently
