I commend you for the decision!!! @poulsen
Haven't touched a pvp game solo in ages. I think it must've been dota in .... 2018? sounds about right.
played some r6s with friends but that learning curve was too steep and long for me.

Yeah uninstalling is legit the correct choice I think. It's been ages since I've grinded a game to frustration trying to 'get good', and the only ones I feel good about being good at are the ones I got good at naturally because I actually liked the challenge of the game.

Like I picked up wc3 somewhat recently and I'm sure I could get decent at the game if I put effort in, but at a point of learning I came to see that I just don't like the challenging aspects of the game that much so I just stopped. If I'm gonna grind something I don't like that much to get good at it, then it might as well be art or coding or something, because then at least its a transferrable skill.

After another loss i decided to cut my lossess and uninstall dota. I'm just to stupid to play this game.

Unless you wanna go full serious I recommend only playing this game on chill party Q's

The enjoyment makes a huge difference.

And well if it is too toxic for you already affecting you then no shame uninstalling

There are a few ppl in this thread who would disaster stack together. Problem is that we are spread around the world and have wildly different schedules.

I play with friends and zero expectation of winning or getting good. Dota is still fun.

grinding any competitive game for rank is just too painful and time consuming for me these days as well. Its much more satisfying to goof around with friends

I also have been playing with friends as well on dotes recently

never played solo anymore any game that I don't enjoy isn't worth my time and the only time I enjoy dotes would be with chill party

genshin impact is pretty chill game especially coop with friends.

and even solo you just explore the game and do your own thing no pressure

Deep rock galactic kicks very large amounts of ass. A Left 4 Dead for the modern age.

Iv been playing some magic: the gathering arena and having a good ol' nostalgic time

It's like pokemon + old school rpg + hard, you capture "enemies" by negotation.

And the story is always about the end of the world and destruction and doom

So yeah, fun

You don't actually need any 5 stars. I can guarantee you can even do spiral abyss (hardest resetting dungeon in the game) highest levels with the guranteed starter 7 you will get freely from the game

But getiing 5 stars is always nice feeling and well they may not be necessary to do well but they certainly make the game easier
