Sven is a very easy Hero to play even in the lower brackets: if you have a friend that can lane with you, make sure he picks a support with a good disable ( Crystal Maiden, Venomancer, Vengeful Spirit, Leshrac...) so you can use Storm Hammer and they can follow up with their stun/slow. That makes things much easier in the early game, so you can farm your core in little time.
I usually go Armlet of Mordiggian into Black King Bar since the Armlet gives both HP (which gets multiplied by God's Strength) and raw attack speed/damage, but some players prefer rushing a Mask of Madness instead which is still pretty good if you're playing low level games. The most important thing is buying a Black King Bar, you should never skip it (unless you're playing versus 4-5 carries).
The idea behind mom is to 1) farm mid game and 2) Rampage enemy team after stun, so the extra incoming damage doesn't affect him. I would say it is great on him but situationally other pickups might be better.
You can try him out a bit in bot matches on hard at least then move to pubs, I only started Dota 2 a year ago as I was stuck on Dota 1 and practiced with bots unfair for a week before moving to pubs. I'm not sure if it might work for you but playing with bots helped me quite a lot.
take bottom lane if you are rad or top if in dire. do creep stacking on easy camp. on 52-54 s each minute bait the creep out of their camps until next minute and new creeps will spawn.. 3 or 4 stacking will give you quite much gold but you can still farm from the lane.. U have cleave my bro. it will be faster to end up 3 or 4 stacks of easy creep than other heroes. Its a gift.
