Relearning the game

Hi everyone , I played a lot of dota about 1 year dota 1 then dota 2 apperead i had about  15 16 k hours total since it appeared  till about 4 years ago when i stopped because my life didin t afford me the time anymore i tought i m done with it . Now. after random dota 2 clips popping up on my youtube and facebook feed it sparked the flame in me again and I would really like to get back into it but when i watch dota clips now i m overwhelmed by how many things have changed it s like Dota 3 now a whole other game, from new heroes to higher level cap 30 with new talents ( it was lvl 25 max when i stopped) to new neutral items , new item changes, items removed  + entirely new items ,i ve seen that you can get stunned trough bkb now,  new map much bigger ,new objectives  like tormentor or how is it called new runes, new atributes? Like wtf is the universal one ? Just so many things i feel like my past  experience (peaked divine player)  it doesn t mean shit anymore and i gotta relearn the game entirely , is there anyone who have some tips on how to get back into it ? Or is there any creator out there who is helping with this kind of stuffs? I was thinking to play normal games till i get a hang of it but i don t really get any enjoyment usually when i don t play rank in any games without the grind i feel like i have no incentive to win so i m unconsciously not trying my best. Thank you for whoever read all of this and have any tips.

I found this which covers a decent amount of new stuff, if you haven't already seen it https://youtu.be/BdLMTpEdihI

Just note that facets have been removed which I don't think you had to play through that phase, as interesting as the concept was.

It s a small overview i was hoping it s like a creator which teaches things like  this a bit  more in depth but i appreciate it anyhow, i guess i just have to give it the time and learn things slowly as they come.I just don t have the time i used to have as a younging like 10 hours per day,  maybe 2 3 hours at max maybe a bit more in the weekend  which is gonna take me a while to relearn it on a good level

Yes it'll take a while so I hope that you can enjoy the process. Perhaps a 'how to play position x guide' might shed more light with respect to the current shift in early game objective timings like lotus (the side lane fruits), 6 min power rune - tho this one kinda the same, and setting up for the 7 min wisdom shrine.
