How to Practice With Macro Heavy Heroes?

[Kaida]

I'm a noob with a little over 200 games under my belt, and I realized that out of all of those 200+ games, not once did anyone pick Enchantress, Lone Druid, Chen, and other macro heavy heroes save for Broodmother. I've tried to use Chen in bot matches before realizing that I can't control the creeps well. Where should I start?

You should probably start with Lone Druid in local Bot matches. He is the easiest of the Mirco heroes, and will give you a good base to start with in regards to control groups and commands.

Set up your hotkeys that so they are easy to remember and use.

I have to disagree. Druid's Bear has no abilities, but it does have items. You also have to work hard to keep the Druid alive.

My first micro hero was Enchantress. She's basically the more forgiving version of Chen, since he abilities actually do something to the enemy.

Easiest Micro hero? Lycan. Hands down.
Wolves: 2 of them. No actives. Perma invis at lvl 3. Super regen at lvl 4. (Basically impossible to feed those wolves unless you're doing something stupid or the enemy is specifically targeting them)
Lycan: Buffs wolves passively. Has an ult that makes all his wolves run super fast.
Other than "make people not hit my low HP wolf" there's not much to Lycan. Not only that but all his summons become super powerful, making Lycan extremely useful with Necronomicon.

Lycan requires little to no Micro, and he's very easy to play.
Granted, this is coming from a guy who 60.87% win rate as Lycan as his third most-played hero.

I absolutely love playing rts games. I'm just not used to needing to focus on controlling multiple people while playing games like Dota.

The best heroes to learn how to micro(note not the easiest) would be lone druid, meepo and chen. For one simple reason you are forced to learn how to micro if you are playing htem.if you screw up your micro with enchantress,nature's, lycan yeah it's bad but it's not a matter of life and death.on the other hand those 3 need excessive microing since chen without good micro does not offer much early game, meepo well..you die if you do not micro well and lone druid is 1/4 of the hero he is without the bear. This is my opinion and I may be wrong of course but yeah you get the point. Those 3 heroes are dependent on their micro so absolutely that you are forced to learn how if you play them enough times. You should try some youtube guides to see about the key bindings etc.
