Do you like feeling miserable and helpless against the great possibility of all your actions meaning nothing after 1 hour of gameplay?
Do you like expressing the inner hate and toxicity you have in your life towards strangers?
Oh boy, then let me tell you, you came to the right place!

Dota 2 IS a good game, has a lot of mechanics that someone may never learn in 3000 hours, and even with that, it takes another thousand hours more to master them, it gets constant updates and even though some additions as new heroes doesn't impact heavily in the meta, they do add some variety and makes the game a little bit more intersting. As any competitive game it demands you to have your senses active all the time and rewards you with aknoledgement of the mechanics of the game transitions and your desired hero.

Just as the game itself tells, its never too late too join. But once you have joined, it IS too late to leave
Dota 2 is the perfect game for miserable people, it works pretty much as a time machine. You want something to waste your time in? Try to learn the things of the game all the time you want, it may not guarantee that you will get any better or win in a streak, but at least you will get said time wasted because you didn't had anything else to do anyways.

Forget about your individual skill, the match results will always depend on the people as your allies/enemies that you get from the Matchmaking system. Either be it getting a Smurf or Feeder among your allies or on the enemy team. YOU DON'T MATTER
The only guarantee here is that as long as you want to keep playing, hours will be keep being wasted and you will eventually end up in whatever time you wanted to get in because this wonderful time machine does work, no way backs tho.

Any Game has its toxic community, Competitive Games usually have the worst ones, but Dota 2 excels as no other game i've seen before has done when it comes to its playerbase itself.
If you want to dump your pathetic life issues into someone else, then join Dota 2 with the many other people that also does, as a victory in this game may be their only light of hope in their lifes and the constant search to feel winners will lead them to become something they were never meant to be and as time passes, they will eventually lose any use of reason and turn into basically hollow people, this is the path you have ahead and you are no free of this result

In the many hours I played I installed and uninstalled many times, the game grow with me more than it should have done and i really wish i could have done something else with the hours spent JUST on this game. I am someone miserable myself and I did become an adult afterwards, with responsabilites and stuff that most players usually don't have and since time is limitless then this seems as the ultimate elixir.
I myself installed this just a week ago after several months out of it, just to see how I could handle this game with my present life and apparent maturity. By my surprise I did both, succeded and failed.
I was succesful with dealing with the people and playing the game as the thing it is supposed to be, a game. And it feel so good to know that if I were to lose a game it wouldn't be the end of my life.
I failed at limiting myself with the game, at first I set a rule of if I were to lose 2 games in a row I would leave the game and try again other day. I did make use of a free day to do and fail around 6 games in a row (pretty much 4 hours), even tho these games were pretty sold by some circumstances I didn't respected my decision and just as before, I wanted to make this game the only thing to be played having WAY more good options alvaliable than this.
Today I won some matches and just as I came recently, I did this game with the same hero I started again, Pudge one of my favourites, and I decided this would be last one for now.
I would like to say im out but one never knows sadly, again, once you have joined, it IS too late to leave, but im glad my current life, as terrible as it is and will get, won't let me get into Dota 2 again with the same alvaliability I had when i was a teenager. Nowadays my problems comes from another sources and I no longer need to speedrun my miserable life with this game.

I am once again, leaving this game in hopes to not return at least in a good amount of time. My memory is fragile and I had to remember what this game is and what it does represent for someone like me. Hopefully reading this review in the future is the only thing I would need to remember in order to save myself from the burden too

I wish you all a good day, if you had a similar experience feel free to leave a comment.

TL;DR: Are you miserable? Come play with miserable people, enjoy, lose time, leave, come back and continue as long as you want. The game will never change, but you can always make a better attempt to do it.
