DOTA 2... a.k.a Not League of legends

[Cheela Cheela Cheela's icon]

I have like a burning desire to play Dota 2. I am the black sheep of my group for these but hear me out... i have been tired and burn out from LOL for years (since highschool lol) but had played other MOBAS like HoTS and Pokemon Unite... and had a lot of fun :3

Soo i have been thinking about playing DOTA 2 for a long time because now i am a Linux user and also because i always hear about it (except my "friends" irl)

Thoughts and advises pls

Play Turbo mode and mute anyone who gives you lip. Takes a long time to learn the game but not a long time to start enjoying it

I used to play a lot of Dota 2 in college (I logged over 500 hours in the game), though it's been about 10 years now since I really hardcore played it, so maybe it's changed a lot. I really liked it back then. Dota is the original MOBA. It's a much more hardcore/less casual experience than LOL. Be ready to talk a lot of shit though, the community was no joke, and trash talk was a very integral part of the game experience.

Think I tried playing Dota 2 once and wasn't for me. I did have fun with Dota Underlords which is one of those auto chess battlers. If I get the itch to play a MOBA these days I still end up going with HotS even with me being on Linux.
