DOTA 2is the latest MOBA to hit the market.
In other words, its the return of the king.
Gameplay seems like a simple concept on paper.
Distilled down to its core, you control one character or Hero on a team of five.
Then, your teams five Heroes are pitted against the five on the other team.
Sounds easy, right?
Those occasional matches you played while bored withWarcraft 3back in the day havent prepared you either.
During my first week playingDOTA 2, heres how a typical match went.
During some matches, my teammates would offer helpful suggestions to me after I had face planted yet again.
Oh really, bro?
Do you even know how to bang with your penis?
The point is,DOTA 2knows you are new to this game, but it doesnt care.
Sure, there is a tutorial in place, but its not even close to enough.
To win atDOTA 2, you must do more than just master your characters skills.
Youll have to experiment with many different skill builds for the optimal way to level up your character.
Each match can last up to an hour.
But once you understand?
(I like Disney movies.
Deal with it.)
Unlocking everyLoLcharacter and maxing all runes takes a long time.
DOTA 2abilities are also generally more powerful than those inLeague of Legends.
This means players have less reaction time to respond and counter.
The reporting system allows the players to moderate themselves.
Theres also a commendation system where a player can reward others for being civil human beings.
Valve also created a match viewing system that is very easy to use.
This is a great way to learn the game without getting slaughtered yourself.
The graphics and audio are also top-notch.
Valve is continuously adding higher resolutions to the models and textures.
There are occasional bugs but that is to be expected with a constantly evolving game of this size.
New patches release every Thursday.
Valve still isnt done patching over all of the Heroes from the original game.
But perhaps this would be a good time to again point out that this game is free.
Kind of makes it harder to complain.
AndGoogle+, if thats your thing!
