>I don't really know who's meta in which lane.
If you're feeling as lost about how to play Dota as your posts imply, then I can assure you are at an MMR where the "meta" simply does not apply. What will win you games is having somebody on your team that knows what the fuck they're doing. Your goal for now should be to become that person so that you can climb to an MMR bracket where just knowing the basics stops being enough enough to win 1v9. Then you can start caring about the meta, if you want, but desu paying attention to the meta still isn't all that important until you reach like the top 20% of MMR.

Pick 3-4 heroes that you like and can feel comfortable with. Ideally these will be heroes that are relatively simple mechanically, but the most important thing is that they're heroes you enjoy playing with. At least one of them should be a core and at least 1 of them should be a support. Pick one of these heroes in most/all of your games. (there's nothing wrong with picking other heroes on occasion, especially if you feel you need to have a better understanding of what those heroes can do, but if you spread yourself too thin then it'll take longer to build up your overall game competence.)

If you have drive to do it, you can lookup replays of high MMR players playing the same heroes you are and watch what they do. This isn't required, so if you find it boring or whatever then just don't do it. When watching high MMR players, the key things you should pay attention to are
>what items do they get
>where do they move
>when do they move (in some games, this will be even more important than where they move)
>how do they operate in team fights

As for what you do in games, listen to >>717135542 this is probably the best generic gameplan that can be followed by noobs and will work at low MMRs.
