Just start playing)

Plan on it, was trying to get a sense of the learning curve and if playing other MOBA’s might accelerate helping understand the meta/gameplay mechanics

Ofcourse beeing experienced with other Moba games will help you, but every game is diffrent ofcourse, and the question is what is your goal aswell, anyone can play dota what ever rank, question is if you are actually gonna play dota 2 for the fun of it, or to actually try and see how good you can get and what rank you can achieve, the higher the rank you want to achieve the more you have to pain attention to the little details of every action

the game has an introduction for new players
i think you can easilly access from the first login
aswell when you buy dota plus it helps a lot!

i should advice you first
1. choose a position in game (offlaner, hc, midlaner, sup 4 or 5)
2. then watch some replays from professional gameplay
3. learn the mechaniqs of a hero
4. train it over and over

nothing else to say but always keep learning
about strategies, match ups, and so on

good luck starting playing it
its very funny and competitive
