General DiscussionCALLING ALL NEW PLAYERS FOR YOUR OPINION

Friends got me into dota 2 it's my first moba game and I used to be a fps gamer

what do you mean by girls?
you play dota because girls play it or because you want to get girls by playing dota lol

I was bored and remembered that my friends used to play DoTa1, i was searching the internet for it and then i stumbled upon dota2 and played it. overall, i was just looking for a game to play.

a first played minecraft. one of the guys i played minecraft with was always playing dota when i checked his steam. went to check if it was such a good game, it was.

my friends were playing dota and talking about it, shit i couldn't understand. so i tried it.
and btw, i think in china if u play dota grills are all over you or some shit like that. lmao

^allison

you'd get plenty of girls in china, or so i've heard, i ain't getting no girls >.>

i guess our girls have bigger standards)

i was still playing dota 1 where a lot ppl still play in the garena i found dota 2 by accident tbh i cant remember how i get to know dota 2 but im pretty sure i found it by accident but as time grows things change the gameplay of players etc changed by heaps and i still like the old times

well, dota in china is real money. Like starcraft in korea

an average popular streamer earns more than a medical degree holder, according to chinese friends

pros stream sometimes and they get 300k viewers ;_;

EE streams almost everyday and gets ~3k viewers

i do it for the grills

got really bored of tf2 and friend insisted i try out the game, I did, now im hooked

Well, i used to play lineage 2 , and my CP friends used to be played dota 2 sometimes, so i migrated from Lineage 2 to Dota 2 :P

I used to only play fps games and hated games like this but I got very very bored. My friends were playing Dota 2 all the time so I gave it another try.

y it could be,

I have no friends, money, personal challenges or grill so I started playing Dota

I got scammed into buying an old beta key.

I downloaded steam (i had just got a new computer), looked at most popular games, saw dota 2. I thought 'looks cool, it's free so why not' and go hooked.

PC Gamer article that said it's the smartest Moba.

About a year ago I decided to give Dota 2 a try despite all the warnings about how I will suck and how Dota has a learning cliff. So I started by playing some bot matches and reading some guides and afterwards I've discovered the in game build and item guides.
It was a friend at work that told me about Dota and that it was free to play. At that point I thought that it will be another pay to win game, but then I understood that this was not the case with Dota.
Before Dota I have had given LoL a try but I never came to like it that much.
Now after 1 year of Dota I still kinda suck, but I'm trying to learn and get better. Thing is with a full time job and a <1 year old kid is hard to be very devoted to Dota but I can still play casually.
