Disclaimer - Brand new Dota player here. Got Dota 2 in the first wave of public invites, never played Dota before. Only League of Legends

Just played a game with a friend who got his invite earlier this weak. We ran a AM/Windrunner top lane, and he supported me while I scooped up farm. Most of the game I didn't get into teamfights, instead choosing to farm farm farm. By the ~40 min mark I had Treads, Manta, Butterfly, S&Y, Vladimir's, and something else. And it felt amazing.

I won a 2v1 at my tower, barely losing any HP, then ran down a third guy with blink. Tower dove multiple enemies at their barracks turret without a problem. Split pushed like it was my job, got at least 3-4 towers solo (with creeps) while the enemy was occupied elsewhere. I could take anyone in a duel and if I got over my head I'd just bail with blink.

If any of you have played LoL, he reminded me a lot of Nasus. The first 30 mins you are off playing Farmville, but in the last 20 mins you can obliterate the enemy team. Was I doing him right, and who else works like that?

TL;DR - Played AM first time today. Farmed for ~35-40 mins, then wrecked the last 20. Is that the right way to play him, and who else is like that?
