Whee. Okay.
My DotA is seriously deproving. But no worries, I'm not gonna quit!
The only thing I can do is to practice more! Argh, it's so difficult when I can only play during the weekends. Curses. However, I shall perservere! (Perserverance, heh, +4hp regen, 100% mana regen, +7 dmg). See, my theory doesn't fail me yet!
Well on the bright side I'm not the noobiest player in the world. No offence, but I managed to own Shawn Huang! Not much of an achievement, but I managed to win in less than 25 minutes! I'm quite proud of myself for that, I must admit, even if it is against Shawn. I'd like to see you try, Joshua.
So yes Joshua is more pro than me now, dammit, but he won't ALWAYS win me. I can still win sometimes. Maybe like 2/5 of the time? Not too bad lar, considering that he gets to play everyday, while I'm stuck with three days a week. Plus, on those days, I can't play ALL the time. Damn, I really need to go out more, but it's so difficult because of my mother. Grrr. Going out like twice a month is a lot for her. Please lar, most people go out at the very least once a week. Oh well, screw it. What can I do?
Anyway, allow me to talk about the games I played. The 25 minute game rocked, of course. Owning always rocks. My ulti did like 2/3 of his hp lar. Okay okay, I won't brag, but I'll whine and complain why I lost like a small kid. =)
You see, one very easy explanation is that I suck at strength heroes, and Bryan is pro at them. I'd like to see him try playing an intelligence against one of my agility. ("one of my" being, well, the usual. =)) So yeah I got Spiritbreaker. I was like wtf I get this pig and he gets Slardar. To make things worse his partner was King Leoric. Well, fine, Shawn was playing as SK but Farhan and I aren't very good at Dragon Knight and Spiritbreaker. I think.
So yeah basically Bryan was underlevelled at first. I think I got cocky, like I usually do with strength heroes. Damn strength heroes. Damn them. Argh. It infuriates me to go on any further, because I'm childish and I don't like losing. But then again, not many people do, so bite me.
Anyway here are the types of heroes and why I like/dislike them:
Strength heroes: Real BITCHES. For some damn reason, I always feel like my health is damn high when I'm using strength heroes. Like I won't die and can tank a tower at level 11. It's some psychological shit. I'm sure of it. Like "oh I'm a strength I can't die because my regeneration is godlike!". Something like that. Obviously, I don't ACTUALLY think like that, cos it's gay. Well one good example is Slardar, who is hardly a tank. He is obviously more of a hero killer. With skills like Bash, Amplify and that AoE stun thing. Damn I forgot what it's called. Must do research!!!! Anyway it really pisses me off when I'm happily chasing my target into the base and then
suddenly I realise that my health is as low as erm. Well my health is low. By the time I try to get out, BAM. I've been killed and the hunter has become the hunted. (Sorry I realllllly wanted to say that for quite some time now.) Well, yeah. Playing strength is a real bitch. Unless it's really a tank, like centaur.
Agility heroes: My favourite. They are oh so easy to play. Like what the hell for AM all you need to do is Blink and Break. For PA all you need to do is Blink and SS. Well, you get the idea. Of course, it's not all fun and games. Your HP and MP is shit, which kinda makes the game not so boring. I mean, You actually have to pay attention. Not like with those damn strength heroes. So yeah, I really enjoy playing with Agility because most of them are fast hitting.
Intelligence heroes: I'm rather neutral about Int heroes, but I must say that to play them effectively an A in eMaths is required. Almost most of the time, you'll be busy calculating numbers like some mathematician dog. "OH, 75% of 300 damage is 225! If only I have calculated properly my spell would have killed you!!!" Most of the time, you end up crying due to some simple miscalculation. Also, intelligence heroes are dependant on items to at least be worth something late game. Meaning, your fingers will be flying all over the keyboard. From skills to items and then back to skills. An example, maybe? For Lina the Slayer, she has to press T D G Num4 T D G. That's like 7 buttons for one combo. Screw that. You still have to freakin aim. Also, you'll have to manage your mana consumption. A real pain in the head, if not a good mental workout.
Of course, that's just my point of view. But then again, it is
my blog, so please keep any comments to yourself. Unless you really cannot tahan and wanna screw me upside down for my opinions, then go ahead and scold me in the tag board, since my stupid template has no comments function. If you're lucky you can actually get a reply! =) But talk is cheap, and I'd rather spend my time doing something valuable, like playing/researching DotA, or maybe even having a social life and chatting with my friends on MSN. So good day to you.
