I still play Dota, OP, so I have a book full of advice. If you've never played before, then definitely play against bots. Do not play against players until you can beat bots, because players are much harder.
Also, do not underestimate bots. Do you see my play time? I can still play vs bots and be challenged, but I play against super hard custom bots called Open Hyper AI. You can try those one day if you think you're good.
Anyway, just play against regular bots until you understand the game. You basically want to push a lane until the enemy throne is gone, and the enemy heroes will try to stop you. That's the entire game. There's a thousand things to learn even if you understand how to win.
