General DiscussionHow to say if you're a seasoned or veteran doto player?

Years sounds about right. Most of the wellknown dota-veterans have been playing for years now - including participation in good old dota 1 champs.

look at your activity page, like this : http://www.dotabuff.com/players/69304431/activity

Hehe, yes i did play actively between 2011 december and mid 2014s but then game became kinda boring with all the unnecessary and unmeaningful updates but i couldn't really leave it either until the end of 2014. i recently started again though :)

number of commends probably

Does it count for me if I started playing in 2003 but I quit from 2008-2014:)

I think most people need a lot of time to improve in dota because it's hard conceptually, not mechanically. It's exactly the why some people will never get passed a certain point not matter how much time they spend.

Like I haven't actually played that much Dota overall, maybe have 800-1000 matches played in DotA 1, but I've watched a lot of games, streams etc, since 2009. Never played consistently until 2013, because I've been addicted to WoW from Vanilla up until Blizzard ruined the game with Cataclysm

i played CS since 2006, but DotA 2 since 2012, never tried DotA

I played wow for 1 month then said fuck it they want me to go on another quest . if I wanna grind , I'll go back to work And make some money
