Valuing getting better over your own enjoyment? Over valuing MMR over improving and challenging yourself? There isn't anything wrong with it, but some people overrate its value.

You can safely put 'Good grasp of complex systems and quick decision making based within said systems' on your CV if you truly understand dota | ||

You need to apply data from a list of 100+ characters, each having dozens of meaningful attributes, often within split seconds. On the other hand the 'throw' aspect of the game together with the nearly infinite possibilities of the item system teach you a lot about long term planning and weighing short and long term benefits. You can safely put 'Good grasp of complex systems and quick decision making based within said systems' on your CV if you truly understand dota Useless is sort of a subjective term. And sure, you can find useful aspects of Dota. I would say learning chess is as helpful. Maybe better for networking if play live games. But when you compare them to cooking. | ||

Man that thread was gold, lots of flame and skepticism. The guy even had pictures showing how to spam march. Just saying, lots of ideas in dota have been mocked and then became popular. | ||
