1. I would think the main focus when starting out would be becoming familiar with the items. Being able to adjust your build to counter the enemies is very helpful. Another focus is finding out what kind of hero you want to play. If you like supporting the team by being tanky and placing vision then a good starting hero for that would be fortress. If you like being squishy and doing lots of damage, try ringo( go in the lane) or koshka (go in the jungle). Also, you don't need Ice to play the game, I've never bought Ice and I'm level 30 and almost T6( T stands for tier and 6 is the 6th level, also known as the hotness)

2. Actually, just try looking on VGF for builds, there are some good ones I'm assuming. (I know enough about the items to not use builds :p) Also watching the streamed tournaments helps as you are literally watching the best of the best. The videos in game aren't bad ether, but I wouldn't just watch them.

3. Like I said before, you don't need Ice to get better and I advise against it unless you want a LE (limited edition) skin, but idk if they are going to make anymore. You get a brand on your in game name that highlights that you bought Ice. My sister and I react to that as, "Oh, this person bought their skins and heroes..." But if you really want to invest in it, I would say use it for more heroes, which brings you closer to being able to play ranked.

I hope this helped and good luck with your matches! :3
