Key
* Cyan Line: One of the three major lanes; top, middle, or bottom
* White Line: A main path on the Dota Map besides the three lanes
* Red Line: A secret path through the forest, or a juke point, or both
* Yellow Line: For clarity's sake when Secret Paths are far from the Main Roads
So as you can see the map contains a huge number of secret paths and juke points. With knowledge of their locations you can move through enemy territory like a ghost, disappearing at a moments notice. You can evade chasers with ease, leaving them grumbling about hax on the way back to their fountain. You can lay in wait and come from literally out of the trees, shocking your opponents. Mastering juke points and secret paths will bring your game play to the next level.
Of course, memorizing them all would be quite difficult so I'll point out some important ones you should familiarize yourself with. The most important types are those near towers and those with two or more exits (usually secret paths near towers have two exits anyway). These let you escape danger and utterly vanish, confusing your opponent. The important juke points are those just around corners. Your opponent loses sight of you for a second and you slip into a small forest niche. The enemy comes around the corner and you are completely gone. Some more specific vital paths include the one leading from the Scourge Secret Shop to the Scourge Bottom Lane, as well as the path in the Scourge base which starts between the two inactive towers. This last hiding place is especially great for Sentinel heroes that are cut off deep in enemy territory because you can buy a Scroll of Town Portal from the Scourge Shop!
A few more comments about some of the juke points. The very small ones (characterized by a short red line) may not completely hide you and will often leave you visible from one or more directions. Also, be wary of juke points beneath cliffs - you are still visible from above! If you are trying to find a juke point without this map handy, many of them have markers, especially in the top and bottom lanes. Look for a lamp post on the Sentinel side or a pile of bones on the Scourge side - there are other markers as well.
The best way to juke is to hide when the enemy loses sight of you through fog of war. The most common way for this to happen is for you to turn a corner and hide before they come around it, or for you to go up a hill then hide before they come up it. This can leave your opponent completely confused and usually they will just keep running off into the distance, allowing you to make a quick escape.
