It's 3-D physics soccer mixed with billiards...play it

Do you have too much time on your hands? Are you lacking feelings of inadequacy and shame stemming from constant failure? Do you need more criticism in your life?

Dota is for you. It seems a bit complicated at first but you will quickly get the hang of the basics and start having some fun playing with the diverse combinations of heroes, abilities, and items. You'll dip your toes into the online multiplayer. This is the point where you realize that you are terrible and that everyone else knows it too. You're even more terrible than you think you are. You'll put hundreds or thousands of hours into the game adapting to the constant changes and tweaks in its mechanics and the flow of the current meta until you feel like you've finally got a handle on the game. Then you will realize you are still terrible and no matter how much time and effort you put into this game you will always be terrible.

It's like banging your head into a wall until you get light-headed because you like the feeling.

It's not about fun. It's about trying every day to fail a little less.

Keep chasing that unicorn because it will never bring you happiness but it's a hell of a way to kill 3500+ hours.
