The handle is a boast and a teaching position at once. Denying is the mechanic with no equivalent in any neighbouring game, and she treats it as the place a new player first discovers that Dota rewards refusal as much as it rewards action.
She teaches the laning weeks — the creep in week 2, the wave in week 3, leaving it in week 4 — and the shopping week in week 7, because what you buy is decided by how long you can stay. She sets and marks Assignment 1.
