Thanks! Will get into it, looks like its good content
Edit: one question: I have seen that dota gets smaller/bigger patches frequently. Doesn't this make old content obsolete?

You are directly responsible for this! How often have you been talking with your teammates?
I try to use the ping / chat wheel as much as I can. I love that feature, has nearly everything I need. I noticed that there is a setting to ignore messages from everybody except friends, and its the default so usually I don't really chat, only reply if somebody is saying something. I'm sure typing messages is superior to using chat wheel only, but not sure how much
Thanks for the detailed answer(s) :)
You are certainly very bad.
The ranking algorithm is very accurate.
In fact, at your level, if you were playing at pro level, you would literally win 99% of your current games. [from other comment]
Its good to hear these, because if the ranking is accurate and I'm bad, and its possible to make this big of a difference in one game then I can improve! I feared that skill levels in dota doesn't really vary, so thanks for pointing these out. But I love to play competitively, push myself to a limit, and figure things out (just like in starcraft).
https://stratz.com/players/1547984348 Steam says I played ~250 hours (but that counts the game running not matches I guess), dota says 251 games, my favorite heros are hoodwink, techies and undying. But I don't usually pick them, I try to play other heroes depending on what I think would counter / help opponents / allies better. Also playing a few set of heroes can be boring to me, so that's why I try to be diverse.
My guesses about which hero is to pick is usually based on stuff I make up (i guess incorrectly) like lion vs heroes with important channeling abilities and if team doesn't have many stuns, keeper of light with heroes that need a lot of manna, natures prophet if team lacks pushing abilities, crystal maiden if my supported teammates hero likes people stuck in one place, undying if team lacks "tank". I also try to watch pro games. By "try" I mean that I don't always feel that I 100% understand whats going on, but at least I learn something

When somebody abandons a game, it becomes safe to leave. This means, you can go to to the menu, leave the game, and immediately queue into a new game without any penalty.
Is this the case for ranked too? Recently started playing, and noticed that after somebody abandons it doesn't say that the "Game is safe to leave" under the leave button anymore, and all leavers will get a loss
Ah yes totally understandable, didn't thing of voice chat. I just don't feel comfortable speaking with random people online, especially after seeing what they can type in chat
