ask yourself which one you enjoy playing more. I came to the very same crossroads with the same exact two games, I still play sc2 here or there but not a day goes by where i regret my decision to play dota more because frankly i have more furn while playing it. Now this isn't a statement on whether or not dota or sc2 is better, just which one i enjoy more. hopefully this helped somehow :D


I'm not sure how to quantify enjoy more, let me just say if I had to go to a deserted island and had to pick one of the two games it would be Dota. I can also play Dota for longer in a row before being exhausted.

Otherwise I am extremely bad at knowing what I actually enjoy more.

to me it sounds like you enjoy dota more then. Granted if you get really good at sc2 you'll have a way to quantify it and the self-gratification will probably be higher. But to me it doesn't sound like you want to play a game obssesively everyday. You just want to have that game where you can log on whenever you want and feel competent. Sc2 makes it difficult to do this while in dota 2 its a lot easier to pick up once you know the game well enough.

once you run out of time to play both, you will get stucked into one.
I am sticking with LoL because my GF is playing it also

it's a shame because I almost completely stopped playing and watching SC2 now

Get a real hobby. Unless you absolutely love gaming, it's a pretty pointless thing to do for that many hours...

I do absolutely love gaming, had other hobbies, no interest in not gaming. I also workout 4 times a week, bike every day and spend time with GF, this is a main reason why I can only focus on playing one game because of time.

Talk to a family member or friend, someone that really knows you[and is willing to listen and understand], and if that someone totally knows what you are talking about, so much the better! People that know you better than you know yourself are a lot of help in these sorts of situations.

If you can't make up your mind, flip a coin.

Heads SC2, Tails DoTA. Being forced to make a decision that way will help you determine what you actually want to do.

Something like:

*Flip*

Heads. Okay, SC2! Well, shit, you know, I really wanted to play DOTA..

Haha, yea, this was my first thought too but all it revealed is I really am unable to make a decision, I think at this point I am going to focus on practicing Sc2 and see where that takes me for the next few months and play Dota casually when I don't feel like playing Sc2.

Likely hoping this helps me make a final decision based on how quickly I improve at Sc2.

Or I might just change my mind completely and focus on Dota 2 since Valve has made that game so awesome.

I think you just need to really decide on whether or not you want to decide which game to play. Once said decision has been made, you have already decided that you will decide on which game to play, and then all that is left is to make the decision. Being undecided on deciding about something is pretty indecisive if you ask me, but I dont want to decide this for you.
