W***up! I'm a new player to Dota2, but I've been playing league for about a year and half now. I'm just lookin for someone who's willing to help me out with Dota because apparently I'm pretty bad the camera locking is taking especially long to get use to. I'm primarily interested in maining jungle and high dmg/cc support heroes.

i can't be of much help in the mentoring department, and im not sure if you have looked over all ther heros in detail yet, but from what you want to play, i can recomend you to these heros;
Lina, Lion, Shadow Shaman, Crystal Maiden, Enigma, Chen and Enchantress (warning, micro required), Axe, doom bringer... there are more i could throw in, but i wanted to stick as close as i could to want you were looking for. Hope this hels you in you dota eperience.

EDIT: Sand King might also be what you are looking for

You can't "main" jungle in dota - simply because there are no real junglers in dotka. There are heroes that can indeed sit in jungle from level 1 and farm there, but they can be on any other lane and do same or better (with some exceptions). You need to know that every single dota 2 jungler forces you to use more than 1 unit at a time. If you want heroes to jungle, then:
- Enigma - fastest jungler in the game, very strong team fight abilities + some push
- Enchantress - offensive, and somehow durable support with heal, slow and attack modifier. She can control neutral and lane creeps
- Chen - more defensive and less durable version of enchantress, can also control neutral and lane creeps, have global heal, can send his mates to base.

There are NO other viable junglers in this game and don't let 0 mmr sheetties tell you otherwise. You will see people jungling with Lifestealer, Axe, Legion Commander, Ursa and Doom - if you (sadly) get one of these guys in your team, you're playing 4v5 game with 1 to 0 support.

Yeah I've been playing Enigma a lot lately. Fell in love with his E+ult combo for initiating. One of my biggest issues is the camera seeing as in LoL it locks to your champ. Any tips on making it easier to not lose sight of my hero when the fight starts as well as micro managing his minions?

Practice makes perfect? I pan useing hotkeys because im trash and should uninstall, but i find that i almost never lost track of my hero when i was new to the game, and know with some experience, i know where my hero is any any given time. Something i have set up though is 1 in my main hero. so when i hit 1 i auto select to my hero and if i double hit 1, it takes me right to my hero, so you could try that.
