#GAMEBREAK - Just too much

Old naysayers were right when they said that too much of a good thing is bad. Though I wouldn't say that DoTA 2 is necessarily good. It's been eating way too much of my time making me neglect quite a number of things that need to be done. Though I still guess I'm enthralled by how some players seem to be adept and versatile at playing every character.

Was reading a page on how to improve in DoTA and not suck so much. Practice is the key and you have to try out each of the 100+ heroes at least once. I'm reminded again of some friends who play LoL and say that DoTA is just a rip off. They claim LoL is harder to train and be good at but when I compare it to DoTA, I honestly think the latter is a lot harder to master. I mean why else have some players taken years to achieve that almost god likeness in their game play?

I know for certain that I am a very bad strength and intel player. I don't micro manage very well and thus my magic spams are really just all over the place. I'm more of an agi ranged player. At least I know I won't die so fast and so often. Although against certain enemy bots, even my most skilled character ends up getting pwned one too many times. 

Enough of DoTA though. I dyed my hair. It's red and my mother tells me it's like rust growing n my head. Thanks mum. Love you still. Losing this motivation and drive in work... Well... Simply because. 

And oh fitness. It's that time of the month so I'm game raging a lot more than I should to the extent that my bookend gets scared when I play. I also eat way too much and too often. Or rather, I eat too often but the portions are actually the same. 

I think I should go back to Alice. Maybe after all that DoTA, I'd be able to find a way to get past the Colossal Ruin. If not, it's another game I'm going to shelve for awhile, again. 

And don't ask me about FarCry3. 

#INGAME - DoTA 2 - Slowly getting there.

I guess I can say I'm improving. Although I have to confess that this was on easy mode. Still, I guess I can understand why it's so fun to do Hero Kills. Bit by bit I'm beginning to get a rough idea of what weapons and items that my character needs.

I confess that I'm only using Drow Ranger for now. I was using Windrunner earlier on but realized that I'm really really bad with Intel characters.

Man I think I've been at this computer for way too long. Need to take a break.

#INGAME - DoTA 2 - Bit by bit

I'm getting the hang of DoTA 2. Bit by bit. I know it's kinda cheating but I went to read up on the various recommended items for the characters that I was more familiar playing with - Drow Ranger and Sniper. Friends were telling me to buy Manta Ray and Shadow Blade. I found Black King Bar to not just be affordable (I'm still trying to brush up on my farming skills) and Crystalys to be a sorta life saver. Not to mention the Aquilas Ring. If that's what they call it.

So far I managed to kill ONE hero. And that my friends, is a great accomplishment. 

Would have gotten Daedalus soon enough but we ended up finishing the game faster than I expected. 29 minutes is fast isn't it? By my standards la at least. 

The picture is based off the third time I kept getting pwned by the bots. This time around, not so much. Only one death. Woohoo! And I assisted a fair bit. So maybe, getting the hang of this game. Next up is to try and figure out of League of Legends. 

And yes, Alice is still on hold. 

#INGAME - DoTA 2 - Still a noob

I hate to say it but perhaps I might find League of Legends a lot easier, in terms of the build, as compared to DoTA 2. 75% of the time I was trying to figure out what I needed to buy. It felt as of everything was just everywhere. All over the place. The colours confused me. I don't even know why they have tabs for casters and all when I click on it nothing happens to filter things out. 

I was told the colours represent the different types of characters. I don't even know what character does what or is good at what! So I've always stuck to the Drow Ranger because I played her and the Rifleman in the first DoTA and thus, they were the only ones I was familiar with. 

Even the places... Like the secret shop and all were confusing. I guess all my friends who got turned off by DoTA 2 were right. It's a shame that its so pretty because in that prettiness... That's where it all got so confusing.
