Dota is so hard, omg, DotA players become so pathetic...
P.S. I used to play WC3:TFT seriously, as Humans, and I played at a pretty decent level - I had a chance to become a pro gamer, I was trained by other players. But when I faced the transition to the pro level, I realized that I wasn't ready for it and didn't want it, and playing at the old level was no longer interesting, so I quit.
APM doesn't show anything, everyone had a lot of misclicks. Personally, my APM was around 180-200 on average.
P.S.S. Warcraft is forever, one of the most ideal strategies of all time.
P.S.S.S. Dota must die.

Orcs are so good against Undead that it's almost comical - where's the ideal balance there? But in general, yes, to play StarCraft/Warcraft at a high level, you really need to put in the effort, and Dota is good because you can play it casually.

Only people who are very far removed from the game can say that it's about playing casually or that there isn't enough action in it, so it's not up to you to judge. There's plenty of action there.

Orcs are not only good with Ud, but with all other factions as well. BM + Shahid (hex) + a network of Raiders + focused archers, with skillful micro-management, creates a significant imbalance in the game, but it can be countered even by Ud; you just need to know how to play differently. ;)
For example, when playing as Ud, I immediately made a DK of level 3 and pushed against the Orc with Finds, quickly advancing to Tier 3 for the Orb of Lich. And sometimes I played a more relaxed strategy that doesn't require such intense micro-management – through CL + spiders, Finds, fast experience; it's good because you have a lot of various weak units at the beginning – skeletons, bugs, Finds.

People who play Dota quickly degrade; this has been proven and is already a scientific fact. I personally know many acquaintances from Warcraft who switched to Dota – they all degraded. I'd rather play Footman Frenzy than this garbage, IMHO.

Do streams really take twice as long to watch? They’ve really gone overboard; soon, even playing will become tiresome.

It's a hassle for everyone to record their gameplay, but watching others and having a laugh is a joy. So, don't complain about not having time; let's have more videos!!!!!111111111111111)))

What's the point of you watching them if you've watched so many and haven't played a single game? WHY? :confused:

I wish I knew! If I don't play hockey, why should I watch it?

Hockey/football/boxing, etc. – these are sports that people enjoy watching for the aesthetic pleasure they provide. In short, it's entertainment. However, instructional videos on "how to play" serve as a practical guide to improve one's skills, with the ultimate goal of playing better oneself. By definition. This naturally raises the question: Why watch "how to play" videos if you never intend to play the game yourself? What aesthetic pleasure is derived from it, and what is the overall purpose? It's unclear. At the very least, it seems strange to me. ** P.S. Cronus, is that you hiding behind the nickname donk?

No, it’s not me. I don’t even know who that is. I really enjoyed the game and the comments from people who posted here. Heroes is a great strategy and tactics game; personally, I find it very interesting to watch, and for me, it’s just as interesting to watch as it is to play.
