Hey guys. This summer I have been working on the constructs of a comprehensive yet brief guide, into many aspects of Dota. I do have many walls of text that I've come up with so far but I was hoping that if I posted it, perhaps you guys would read through it and edit it/give me feedback, and perhaps even learn some stuff from it too. My final result would be that I'd like to post it to a forum somewhere. Anyways I'll just post the outline for now and you guys can tell me what you think. Maybe some categories that could be moved under a different heading or some things that could be grouped together to a smaller category. I know I will have some overlap as is unavoidable but yea, I might be missing some stuff altogether too.

Thanks in advance guys.
