But I don't just want to play with bots forever, beacuse I feel like I'm not learning a lot from just playing with bots.Īll I want is to make sure that I am absolutely good before I can play online, but I'm starting to get bored with bots. Eventually, the lead designer Icefrog was hired by Valve to create a modern remake of the game so as to make DOTA a standalone. The game is a sequel to the original Defense of the Ancients which was a popular game mod of the Warcraft III engine. I hesitate to click 'START' on The War Begins because I immediately believe that I'm not good enough to play and I'll just get berated for bad play. DOTA 2 is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or MOBA wherein two teams of 5 players compete against one another to destroy the other team’s Ancient. I also think that I haven't practiced enough even though all that I have done was play with bots. However, I feel very nervous and kind of scared to play online, because I imagine that I'll ruin the game for my team and get flamed at because I wasn't good enough to play.
I can beat unfair bots with ease now, and I can play satisfactory with 10 heroes. I've read the beginner guides and watched a lot of videos about the game. I've learned about the simple and advanced mechanics of the game and how the game works. I have played with bots only from the beginning for practice. I have played over 120+ hours of Dota 2, but I still consider myself to be a newb.
