Cancelling attack animations:
-----------------------------
*During an attack your Hero typically executes two stages of animation; the first when 
 executing the actual attack, and the second is "follow-up" after damage has been applied.

*The first animation stage must always complete itself, but you can actually "cancel" out
 of the second animation stage simply by moving if you are a physical attacker, or by 
 ordering your Hero to "Stop" if you are using a casting ability.

*In the case of physical attacks, cancelling the follow-up animation lets you stay on the
 move after attacking but for casters it actually keeps you from using the ability, saving
 you from using mana for the ability and having it go into cooldown.


Tips:
-----
Below is a collection of helpful tips you should know for Dota 2.

* Bottle Refill Trick - You can refill your Bottle without Bottle crowing or going back to your
  fountain. To do this, immediately give your Bottle to an Ally who has teleported near you from 
  a fountain. This fills your bottle, due to the fountain buff lingering briefly after after the 
  other player has left the fountain. Use a TP scroll, Keeper of the Light Recall, Nature's 
  Prophet Teleportation, or recall on Lone Druid Spirit Bear to help refill an ally's Bottle.

* Denying Allied Heroes - This prevents the enemy from gaining any gold or experience from the 
  kill. You are able to deny your allies under two conditions: one, they are under the effect 
  of a poison ability such as Doom's Doom or Queen of Pain's Shadow Spike; two, your ally is 
  under a certain percentage of health. A-Click to deny an ally. Allies will still lose unreliable
  gold upon death.

* Losing Tower Aggro - Towers have attack priority that decides what they hit. If you are dying 
  and want a tower to stop attacking you, A-click an allied unit. The Tower should change targets
  as long as other units are within range.

* Bottle Spam in Fountain - Bottles refill automatically and instantly in fountains, so spam 
  your Bottle to heal faster. The faster you can heal in a fountain, the faster you can get 
  back out to battle!

* Buy Before You Die - Be aware that you lose unreliable gold when you die. If you know death
  is imminent, access the shop and quickly buy your next item. The item will be waiting in your
  stash when you respawn!

* Armlet Toggle - Armlet of Mordiggian toggling can help you survive in situations where you 
  would normally die. Turning it on gives a +25 strength bonus and increases your health. The 
  armlet drains health while in use, so you what you want to do is turn off the armlet with 
  lower HP and then quickly toggle it back on, granting you a health boost. The cooldown period
  is 2 seconds. An armlet that has been turned off drops your HP for a brief moment, so be sure
  you aren't taking damage over time and make sure you're not about to sustain an injury from 
  an attack.

* Drop Attribute Items to Get Restorative Bonuses - When you're looking to restore health or 
  mana, drop items that grant attribute boosts. Then use your restore. Doing so will give you a
  higher amount of health/mana in your pool, once the items are back in your inventory. From the
  percentage-based health/mana gauges, you receive a very helpful bonus. Items can be picked up 
  or destroyed by other heroes, though, so do be mindful of your surroundings before you drop.


Force Staff:
------------
The Force Staff item has more uses than most people see. When an ally is stuck in place (Winter
Wyvern's heal and an enemy Crystal Maiden's Frostbite come to mind, as well as any type of stun),
you can use this to move them away from the enemies (given they were facing toward you before 
being stunned/healed).
