I didn't bother collecting all the costumes. To be honest, I didn't want to waste 100 spaces in my inventory.

  He is. Omniknight is actually just an all-round supportive character. He heals (His heal hurts enemies as well, if they are close to the target you heal), he grants allies magic immunity, he snares enemies around him with an aura and his ultimate makes every allied unit and hero within its cast radius virtually immune (99% Reduction) to physical damage and grants them crazy health regeneration for its duration.   He does suffer from an arguably weak laning presence, early game mana issues and rather long cast animations.   Having tried out a champion in LoL yesterday with horribly long cast animations and early game mana issues, I think I can cope with that. Just need to find where the damn secret shop is when going from bottom to top.

Like I said to you a couple of days ago, if you ever have the time and urge, just poke me and I'll be happy to practice with you/explain shit. If you'd rather do research on your, a friend of mine, "Finch", from Flipsid3 Tactics (Pro Dota Organization) has done an extensive, 10-episode guide on the very basics of Dota, aimed specifically for new players. it covers: General Movement, Hotkeys, Courier Attributes and Abilities Hero Roles The Jungle General Support work (Stacking and Pulling) (THIS ONE IS REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO GIT GUD) The different shops Warding 101 (THIS ONE IS REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO GIT GUD) Dewarding 101 (THIS ONE IS REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO GIT GUD) Last Hitting, Denying and tower mechanics Micro and control groups It might be a bit intimidating, when each episode is between 10-20 minutes long, but Dota is just a game that requires a ton of knowledge and dedication if you want reach a decent skill tier. No one is expecting you to become a pro of course, but Dota is definitely up there on the "Games with a fucking high skill ceiling" list (Along with Dwarf Fortress and EVE Online). This link should start you off at the episode and have the rest in a playlist, if I did it right. EDIT: Oh and my own personal recommendation is to limit your hero pool to begin with. Maybe focus completely on one hero for a while, until you understand the map and the basics of the game. Then you can start worrying about the skillset of other heroes. I had ~5 games of League of Legends, 1 game of HoN and maybe 3 games in the original DotA of experience when I started. I had no idea what the fuck I was doing. I said to harbl (the guy who talked me into playing) "I want to play a supportive healer role" because I figured it would be less pressure. I ended up picking Omniknight and I ran that hero for probably 10 bot games and 20 actual matchmaking games before I tried something different and it really helped me to not get overwhelmed.
