the conversation at the beginning of the game went something like this
"so wtf do i play? pick something easy for me"
"pick zeus all you do is press c and g on people"
"alright"

25 minutes later
"hey i got a bunch of money what should i buy"
"just buy stuff that lets you chain lightning more"

spend 5 minutes looking at shop and see item description that gives "chain lighting (passive)"


so that's how I ended up buying a maelstrom
I'm pretty sure he was talking about a mana regen item tho

lol pretty funny story ><

I'm sure I've shared this before but my first game of dota was single player vs bots on an AI map. After running around for a while I eventually found the secret shop. Which I thought was very cool since most of the items in that shop were very clearly only for single player as how else besides cheating were you supposed to get 3000 gold?

...easy. Spawn as 1 in a 1v5 game, pick troll warlord, go lane with boots + yasha.

Sooooo many of my games back then were 1v5 vs AI as the ultrafast racecar rangedmelee Jah'rakal.

Well I had bot buddies who stole my starting gold.

I also worked out that headdress was the *only* 603 gold item in the game and habitually went to lane with that as every hero. I liked chen because I could steal their lane creeps lol.

The worst thing was figuring out those recipes and how to get those weird OP items some people managed to find.

It became a joke, but wood was truly confusing the first time you clicked on this game on Bnet.

I mean it kinda depends on how you define a dota game since I just ran around like an idiot and did nothing for my first like 20 games vs bots, whereupon I stopped playing dota until dota 2 so...

It's possible i'm not referring to my actual very first dota game, it's just the first thing I remember.

IESF ("international esports federation" or some shit) planned a tournament with seperate mens and womens tournaments much like the olympics segregates all events by gender, whereupon neckbeard white-knights on the internet complained that they were banning women from some of the competitions (Dota 2, for example, didn't feature a womens tournament).

Queue drama.

I miss lion mid.

"hello level 3 support, enjoy your not-so-free trip to the fountain"

I mean yes maybe u should focus on killing cores but the literal 1-shot 100->0 on squishy underlevelled supports is so satisfying.
