So this is what it feels like to have a friend relapse on some shit like meth...
I just feel so bad for so many of you.
I stopped playing League but I'm playing MTG. Is that like the friend who stopped crack but picked up heroin?
lol red's problem with your new MtG obsession is that your ostensible reason for not playing DotA was the time/energy needed to be "good", but you then decided to play a game that required just as much, if not more time/energy invested to be good.
Saying it's my 'problem' makes it sound aggressive or like I have a serious stake in Wave's game choices. I would phrase it differently, like, I found his choice curious given prior explanation against other games. He's a grown man, he can play what he wants; I would've never guessed 'Wave gonna get pretty into MTG after he gets plat god in Isaac' though.
I mean I don't think I can express it particularly well but I feel there is a pretty large difference between MTG and DotA in terms of how the learning works. It may be a personal thing, however.
It could be because DotA isn't simply a game about thinking, there's physical mechanics and things involved that I wasn't even good at in LoL after playing for years, and I'm only getting older.
I mean it could also be largely due to the fact that I am less likely to play games that require teammates/a block of time invested per game because of the frequency with which I'd have to interrupt that.

Not nearly as good as Birdman, but it's certainly better than the little-known Canadian Sniper.

You just need to learn you some of that 'don't give a fuck.'
I mean, what are you going to do when(not if) your son starts beating you at games? If you start your training now, you may indeed not give a fuck by the time that happens =p
Dota is pretty much all about experience and decision making. People overrate the mechanics a lot. I think largely due to league being all about mechanics and not much thinking.

There's a reason I can reach Plat while playing legit Silver-level with AD carries. I just learnt to spam S in lane in DotA instead of pacing back and forth to stop screwing myself with turn rate when trying to last hit. Or maybe I just got rid of the LoL habit of pacing, and started smashing S instead.
I'm just used to running around instead of standing in place because there are many more spells flung around in lane, and a bunch of them skillshots. In DotA people fling autos or ignore me usually.
