go to practice mode, read every hero skill and test them out.

this is the only way you can skip a huge learning curve if you remember what hero's do and understanding how to counter them


do this.

I'd start off w/ reading Guides on the forum to help fully understand the game before you just start off w/ any hero in a pub game to start new with b/c there really isn't a hero that's ideal to play w/ as a beginner.
Every hero has their own role and all have different play styles/item builds depending on what you're playing and who you're playing against.

What is important even as a beginner is knowing the character/hero roles, where/how to place wards/what they do, how to use a courier/what a courier does, how to lane/what to do.

Learning this early is always a + to increasing your chance in getting better and helping a team out.

Another way to learn and get better when you've mastered the basics is to watch some competitive games w/ higher level players and watch and learn how they play.
With the warding, the item builds, the skill builds, hero picks ect all which could be found here: http://www.fileplay.net/channels/honcast

When I started I was told to just sit in the base and read what every item did and then learn about all the heroes before playing
That gets incredibly boring, so if you dont like sitting there reading and trying to understand what they do
Read guides about heroes found on the forums, like one at a time or so and then try the hero out following the guidelines.
It will make you pretty much follow the same build with some heroes but will make you understand and draw conclusions what to get by yourself.
