Thatz the rason I gave DoTA up completely. Having a different
focus, away from an addiction. But for those that're in the field
now, there is hope really,here're some of the odd sides i've
explicitly encountered during my DoTA era:
BAD
SCENERIO
The worst case i've evered encountered up to this day, was a guy
using the Sniper Rifleman on our team. He took the left lane.
Seeing that my other allies have taken position, 2 in the middle
and 1 on the right, I followed him to the left.
He asked for solo. I said its too late for me to back to right, or
have fucking 3 people in mid lane. Hearing that, he offered himself
to the enemy. Got firstblooded. Upon revival, came back again, drop
some thornwoord branches at the enemy's feet, and got K.O`ed again.
Rinse and repeat. Eventually, even the host, whom we're playing
against banned him.
GOOD
SCENERIO
But there're some nice ettiques i've encountered, as well as
executing them myself. I was low on health, a tower hugging Akasha,
when an ally of mine, same lane, dropped a Ring of Health? 4hp
regen/sec into my inverntory. There goes my fountain trip, and
hello experience + gold. Sometimes, i buy sapphire water? Look
around the map for allies in the red or orange health, particularly
melee dudes, and cast it on them.
And there'll be some people on the opposite team, even though 3 of
their allies have already left the game, they stayed on with the
odds against them. You take a look at their inventory, and becuz
their mates left early, there's not really much items they can
combine and Tier up the level with. At this point, i'll normally
thank them for staying on, and they'll reply back, and its a nice
kinda feeling. I will then remember their nicks and invite them for
a game together the next time i host.
People shouldn't emphasize so much on heros, but i say the player
is what makes the heros work. I never work alone. Never ask for
solo lanes, or complained about kill-stealing.
DoTA's a fun game really, I used to fancy playing Slithice, Magina
and Akasha alot. Simply becuz they're not the easiest of character
to use. But I told myself i've had my fun, and its time to dedicate
these hours to something more constructive and prominent ; )
