hakuna matata: DOTA 2 PC REVIEW

Dota is a competitive game of action and strategy, played both professionally and casually by millions of passionate fans worldwide. Players pick from a pool of over a hundred heroes, forming two teams of five players. Radiant heroes then battle their Dire counterparts to control a gorgeous fantasy landscape, waging campaigns of cunning, stealth, and outright warfare.

Irresistibly colorful on the surface, Dota is a game of infinite depth and complexity. Every hero has an array of skills and abilities that combine with the skills of their allies in unexpected ways, to ensure that no game is ever remotely alike. This is one of the reasons that the Dota phenomenon has continued to grow. Originating as a fan-made Warcraft 3 modification, Dota was an instant underground hit. After coming to Valve, the original community developers have bridged the gap to a more inclusive audience, so that the rest of the world can experience the same core gameplay, but with the level of polish that only Valve can provide.

Cool game. Love the characters and their unique abilites. (They are also very pretty, especially Luna)

The game is simple, not hard to learn. If your new, play the tutorials. Focus on your gameplay, find yourself a role, and play it, all the time. Learn yourself all the heroes in the game. Read patches and updates. If you choose to play mid/carry, last hitting is important. Support, usually 2 supports, support your team with vision, buy cour, tp`s, keep the carry safe. Offlane, do not die, drain xp, only last hit when you think you can without dying. At a certain time you should go around helping your team with your abilities, as offlaner. For example if you are playing centaur and got blink, don`t farm anymore, just help out the team. Creating space for your carry is good, letting him/her farm easier.

It`s the first moba i have tryed and played, and so far i enjoy it. The only thing i don`t enjoy, is watching how people can act so disgusting and negative. I mean, come one, it`s just a game, get over it. There is no reason to be mad by losing, or dying in the game. Just get up, and try again. it`s not that hard. It may be frustrating sometimes, but trust me, its way more frustrating for other people to listen to all your negativity and words you shoudnt have said. Be happy, and others will be as well. Be sad and annoying = youve already lost my friend. And yes, you will meet a lot of stupid people, best way is to just mute them.

Theres a lot of braindead people in this game, wake up, take a red bull, water, whatever..

And don`t go around blaming others, think of yourself first, are you even doing good? getting farm? last hits?. And besides, you have only yourself to blame.

This game taught me a little something about teamwork, strategy, patience, how to speak russian and tagalog fluently, how to be a racist, how to lose my friends, and how to spend my money wisely to get that one courrier. Worth every minute of my life that I can't take back.
