[0:00] Back in 2018 through 2021, I was majorly
[0:03] addicted to a little game called League
[0:05] of Legends. I play all day and night,
[0:07] learning the ins and outs of every
[0:09] character, all the different
[0:11] interactions [music]
[0:11] and pretty much how everything worked.
[0:14] And it was a constant improvement to the
[0:17] point where I even got diamond, but
[0:19] that's where I kept to be honest. But I
[0:21] was and am very happy with that. But
[0:24] during that time, I did try my hand at
[0:27] Dota 2 and I hated it so much. And that
[0:29] might have been due to the fact that I
[0:31] was so hooked on League and I couldn't
[0:33] look past that Dota is its own game. So
[0:37] yeah, I played one game and put it down
[0:40] and never look back. And I was always
[0:42] chalking it up to an inferior League of
[0:44] Legends, but recently I've had an itch
[0:47] to play a MOA and I already know League
[0:51] back of my hand. So I want to challenge
[0:52] myself and see if I can master Dota in
[0:55] 100 hours as a complete noob. So, I
[0:58] gathered up my old duo Q partner and we
[1:00] got to work learning Dota [music] 2 to
[1:02] see if we could actually master it or
[1:04] hell even understand it because it is
[1:06] vastly different to League of Legends.
[1:11] Going into this, I decided to look at
[1:13] all the characters to see if I could get
[1:14] a feel for any of them just off design,
[1:16] and I really couldn't. I just couldn't
[1:19] tell where someone was meant to play.
[1:21] While in League, you can see the
[1:22] characters and kind of get an estimate
[1:25] of where they're meant to be. Uh,
[1:27] another thing I learned was that almost
[1:29] every character in [music] this game,
[1:30] for some ungodly reason, is a nuker,
[1:33] which got me extremely nervous knowing
[1:35] that even if it's a support, they could
[1:37] just pop me like nothing. And after
[1:39] looking for a couple minutes, I decided
[1:41] [music] to play Underlord, who's meant
[1:43] to be a support character, which is the
[1:45] opposite of my [music] usual role in
[1:46] League, which is an ADC. So, I thought,
[1:49] why not try a new game, a new character,
[1:52] and a new role? So, when we loaded up
[1:55] into the game, I was just thrown into an
[1:56] absolute mess of a shop where nothing
[1:58] made sense to me. And pretty much all of
[2:00] my starting items seemed to have active
[2:02] abilities, [music] which was really
[2:04] throwing me off. But I just tried to
[2:06] ignore it for now and focus on laning.
[2:08] But every so often, I just couldn't
[2:09] understand what was [music] happening on
[2:10] my screen or how the game was meant to
[2:12] be played. So, for some reason, I just
[2:15] ended up asking questions [music] of how
[2:16] stuff works to someone who had as much
[2:19] experience as me in the game. So, where
[2:22] do where does my money come from then?
[2:25] >> Uh, not everyone really needs money.
[2:26] >> Oh,
[2:27] >> some would just use their abilities like
[2:29] you know sports in other games to like
[2:31] CC and stuff. You probably need strength
[2:33] to be more effective.
[2:35] >> While laning as well, stuff was just
[2:37] kind of happening like people taking
[2:38] items [music] from a magical fountain
[2:40] and stuff like that. But the main issue
[2:42] that we had was we had no clue what any
[2:45] character did, [music] let alone our own
[2:46] characters. But that didn't stop others
[2:49] from messing up and gifting us kills,
[2:51] which is where [music] I learned a very
[2:54] important thing in this game where
[2:55] getting kills does not matter [music]
[2:58] nearly as much in the early game as it
[3:00] does in League of Legends.
[3:02] And instead, you should be focusing on
[3:03] getting the minion kills to keep a gold
[3:06] lead and XP lead. But we didn't really
[3:09] do that. Instead, we just kept trying to
[3:10] fight, which got us into another
[3:12] important lesson. The towers only
[3:16] pretend to help in this game. I swear
[3:18] they don't do anything in reality. They
[3:20] shoot peashooter bullets from Plan's
[3:22] first zombies at you. But even though we
[3:24] didn't know what we were doing in the
[3:25] slightest, we did end up actually
[3:27] winning our lane for our first game and
[3:31] we were doing quite well. And I think
[3:33] what helped was how simple my character
[3:35] was. And before no time at all, we was
[3:38] all pushing mid and actually won [music]
[3:40] our first game of Dota 2. Now, could I
[3:42] tell you what any of the characters did
[3:44] in that match other than mine?
[3:47] No. In fact, I probably couldn't even
[3:49] tell you what my [music] character's
[3:51] role was other than rooting people. I
[3:53] was also really confused about how the
[3:55] map was laid out, questioning where our
[3:57] jungler was all game, but it didn't
[3:59] matter because we won lane. I didn't
[4:01] really mesh well with Underlord either,
[4:03] and I like the look of Venomancer, so I
[4:06] tried him out and uh well, it did not go
[4:10] well at all in the slightest. and I got
[4:14] absolutely decimated with him. Getting
[4:16] one kill before I had to [music] leave
[4:18] to watch the villa match. But don't
[4:22] worry, that match was pretty much over
[4:24] before I [music] left. We had no chance
[4:26] of having a comeback. And yet again, I
[4:28] couldn't tell you a single thing about
[4:30] that match that was happening. So, I had
[4:32] to play a lot more matches just to get a
[4:35] beat on the game. So, that's exactly
[4:37] [music] what I did, going match after
[4:38] match trying to get the basics of the
[4:41] game. And I was starting to learn stuff
[4:43] about the game actually, such as there
[4:45] isn't actually a [music] jungler in this
[4:47] game, but instead it's kind of just like
[4:49] a 212 layout. And that really threw me
[4:52] off because there's the off lane where
[4:55] you'll be the aggressive side [music]
[4:57] pushing closest to the enemy's tower.
[4:59] The mid lane, which is, you know, just
[5:01] kind of like the mid lane in League, and
[5:04] then the safe lane where you're [music]
[5:06] closer to your tower, even though they
[5:08] do nothing in Dota. So, you know, the
[5:10] the tower, you know, you're just closer
[5:12] [music] to the enemy's base. I guess the
[5:14] map's also symmetrical. Well, in League
[5:17] of Legends, the map split, which is
[5:20] pretty neat to learn. I also learned
[5:22] that you can give each other items and
[5:24] potions
[5:25] uh to quickly help out, heal, or refill
[5:28] the manner of your teammates. And my
[5:30] final match of the 10 hours was
[5:32] approaching, and [music] I still didn't
[5:33] have a character that I found that I
[5:35] liked or even found slightly [music]
[5:38] enjoyable. So, I tried yet another new
[5:40] character because I'm a firm believer in
[5:42] once you find a character [music] or a
[5:44] class or a role or something like that
[5:46] in any game, it becomes so much more
[5:48] easy and funner to play. Such as in 2x
[5:53] KO, I still haven't really found a
[5:55] character I mesh well with. I like I
[5:56] play Warwick, but with the such a small
[5:59] roster, I don't find the game too
[6:00] enjoyable. But in tech, I found
[6:04] characters that I like meshed well with
[6:06] and I played better. But anyway, on my
[6:08] final match of the first 10 hours, I
[6:11] decided to try Jeze, applying everything
[6:14] I learned so far about the map and the
[6:17] side that we were on and
[6:20] um how to farm minions and how to
[6:22] support well, but we still had the issue
[6:25] of not knowing what any of the
[6:27] characters did. And it felt like our
[6:29] opposition was just leveling up so much
[6:31] quicker than we were.
[6:33] But we knew how to take fountain fruit
[6:35] now. But just knowing that kind of stuff
[6:39] did not stop us from getting our throats
[6:41] throttled the whole game. Doing an
[6:43] occasional helping thing, but overall it
[6:46] just didn't feel like I was doing much.
[6:48] Occasionally, I hit a stun uh while
[6:51] people were under towers. And before no
[6:54] time at all, we was fighting a losing
[6:56] battle due to the lack of knowledge and
[6:58] just being oblivious. Like this death
[7:00] here. Once we finally won a fight.
[7:03] [laughter]
[7:04] >> Did you see anything?
[7:04] >> Yeah.
[7:05] >> On the tree.
[7:15] >> Shadow.
[7:19] Is that fire?
[7:21] >> Oh, no. They're they're my fire mixed
[7:23] with their demon.
[7:24] >> Oh, it's this thing.
[7:25] >> Yeah. No, my fire is mixed with it.
[7:27] >> And him? Where did he come from?
[7:32] He dies.
[7:34] >> Triple kill.
[7:36] >> Yeah, Shadow Blade. It makes him go
[7:38] invisible for 17 seconds.
[7:40] >> So, yeah, that match was heading the way
[7:42] you think it was. And before no time at
[7:44] all, we had yet another loss under our
[7:46] belts. Our first 10 hours, we had 11
[7:49] losses and five wins. And it was just a
[7:51] rough experience. [music]
[7:52] But like I have said, this is a learning
[7:55] experience, and we have learned a lot,
[7:57] but we still have a lot to learn.
[8:00] And the thing that we've learned was
[8:02] that we have got our roles all swapped
[8:05] up and are putting ourselves at a huge
[8:07] [music] disadvantage because I have not
[8:10] had much fun playing any of the support
[8:13] characters, which was a huge mistake by
[8:15] myself. So, I needed to accept the loss
[8:17] here and move on to a role that I play
[8:20] in League just so it feels like a more
[8:23] natural transition. I'm not a support
[8:25] player. I'm an ADC player and it will be
[8:28] easier for me to play a role in this
[8:30] game that was similar to what I've
[8:33] already played.
[8:37] And that's what I was really hoping at
[8:39] least was true. Also, my friend was the
[8:42] one that was heading to the fountains
[8:43] and remembering to collect the fruits
[8:45] and activate the statues or some [ __ ]
[8:47] involving that, while I was the one that
[8:49] was focused on the minions and poking
[8:51] the enemies back. So, yeah, we were just
[8:53] mixed up from the get- go.
[8:57] These hours I knew I needed to really
[8:59] lock in because while the first set of
[9:02] hours weren't really quite a waste, they
[9:06] weren't as productive as they should
[9:07] have and could have been. I don't know
[9:10] many of the characters, minus a handful
[9:12] at this point, and I weren't good with
[9:15] them. I was just playing the wrong role.
[9:17] And I and I still don't get what is a
[9:21] character's ability and what is an item
[9:23] in the game. I don't know when I should
[9:26] be trying to start a fight. I don't know
[9:28] how to maintain a lead on gold or XP
[9:30] yet. So, all of that really needs to get
[9:33] sorted out quickly. So, this time I
[9:36] decided I [music] would spend more time
[9:38] trying to figure out my character
[9:40] that I would stick with and learn
[9:42] everything about. While in League of
[9:44] Legends I had Cogmore, I needed Dota's
[9:48] version of Cog'more and just couldn't
[9:50] find it because for me, the weirdos and
[9:52] freak characters are always so much more
[9:54] fun to play. So, after a while, I
[9:58] decided I wanted to play Weaver, a
[9:59] spider guy whose main source of damage
[10:01] comes from his auto attacks. And we went
[10:04] into our first game of the post 10 hour
[10:07] mark and the first game of me being a
[10:09] carry for us
[10:11] and yet again it didn't go well with us
[10:15] getting demolished. But once it didn't
[10:17] feel like it was our fault really
[10:20] as we had a 1 and 16 axe with us, a five
[10:24] and 12 bow woman and a three and nine
[10:28] eye of Sauron. So yeah, it really felt
[10:32] like it was a mountain we had to climb
[10:36] to even possibly have a chance at
[10:38] winning this game. But I did like how
[10:41] Weaver felt and I like how his ult just
[10:44] a reset button like an ADC echo and how
[10:47] his W is a stealth and a little bit of a
[10:50] damage dealer. I really liked his kit. I
[10:53] didn't use it perfectly.
[10:56] So, we just kept queuing up, both of us,
[10:59] trying to learn more and more of the
[11:01] game. I learned how much I hate the
[11:03] secret shop and how it literally feels
[11:05] like filler in this game that it just
[11:08] doesn't need to be there. It just feels
[11:10] like it's slows the pace of the game so
[11:14] much. And I already know this game is
[11:17] like a really, really slower version of
[11:18] League.
[11:20] >> Now, will we ever
[11:23] get a good game?
[11:27] a dynamic duo.
[11:29] >> No, I think the game's telling me this
[11:32] is
[11:32] >> my support error.
[11:36] [laughter]
[11:36] >> Oh my god.
[11:39] >> While I loved Weaver, I decided to sneak
[11:41] in a Viper game in there. And this game
[11:44] I was against a Weaver. And since I
[11:45] played so much Weaver already, I kind of
[11:47] knew how he worked to play against. So I
[11:51] knew the basics of how this guy was
[11:52] going to play. and we kind of just ran
[11:55] through [music] them and we had the best
[11:57] game of our career so far, holding the
[12:00] lead throughout the entire game. My
[12:02] friend was feeding me every kill
[12:05] possible. We were using our kits to the
[12:07] fullest. Sure, we kept making mistakes
[12:10] that [music] was costing us deaths and
[12:11] everything, but we was also still
[12:14] learning and I'm playing a new character
[12:16] for the first time. And it was finally a
[12:19] game where I was doing a lot. So, I
[12:23] wasn't backing down no matter what. I
[12:25] even started using some of my items
[12:27] active abilities to get in range of
[12:29] people and do damage. And it honestly
[12:32] was such a blast to be
[12:36] doing this well for once. And I actually
[12:39] ended the game going 19, 8, and 22, my
[12:42] personal best yet. And it was with a new
[12:44] character to me. But even though I did
[12:46] better with Viper, I'll just have him as
[12:49] a pocket pick because I do prefer Weaver
[12:52] and know that my pop-off game with him
[12:53] is yet to come.
[12:57] So hours 10 through 30 were a lot better
[13:00] for us because we started to learn more
[13:02] and more stuff about the game and we
[13:05] could actually start to differate it
[13:06] from League of Legends from the
[13:08] mechanics like [music] how the fountains
[13:10] work giving you XP and also how the
[13:12] pillars give you some XP or something.
[13:14] We also learned how to deny minions,
[13:16] which is huge in this game because it
[13:18] stops your opponent from getting golden
[13:19] XP from the minions, which is actually
[13:22] huge. But I still have a long way to go
[13:27] due to not knowing when to last hit the
[13:30] minions. And weirdly enough, I still
[13:31] didn't understand how the towers worked
[13:33] because sometimes it hits the minions
[13:37] and sometimes it just decides to hit me
[13:39] when there's clearly minions in its
[13:40] range, which can't be RNG in a game like
[13:43] this.
[13:45] So, we still had to figure out how that
[13:48] worked.
[13:51] I also found out two characters that I
[13:54] really liked, but again, I still don't
[13:56] know what most of almost any other
[13:58] [music] characters do other than these
[13:59] two ones and the ones my friend played.
[14:02] >> Yeah, the path actually hurts my soul.
[14:05] Oh my god.
[14:08] Weaver was still being learned and I was
[14:11] looking at different item guides for him
[14:13] because of how complex the items are in
[14:15] this game and well, pretty much
[14:17] everything in this game is. And it
[14:19] taught me that if you want to get into a
[14:21] MOA, you should know that League is
[14:24] around 30 times more welcoming [music]
[14:26] for new people because for some wild
[14:29] reason, this game has a thing called
[14:31] Dota Plus, which is a subscription based
[14:34] thing and when you get it, it teaches
[14:36] you the basics of the game with what
[14:40] area certain characters can play and
[14:42] stuff like that and giving you like I
[14:44] think a better better shop guide or
[14:46] something. I'm not really sure, but it
[14:48] should really just be in the game by
[14:50] default. But that's fine. Who cares
[14:52] about that? Out of being stubborn, I
[14:54] refused to pay to learn stuff in a game
[14:56] and wanted to carry on learning by doing
[14:59] as we had been for the past 30 hours
[15:01] now. But these hours just continued
[15:06] to be games where we were trying to
[15:08] learn different characters or different
[15:11] opponents or how to use our abilities
[15:12] together. Well, and what I found out is
[15:14] I really hate this one character called
[15:17] Techies. I think it was kind of like
[15:20] this game's Teemo just putting bombs
[15:21] around the map that will just demolish
[15:24] you out of nowhere. And it is the most
[15:26] annoying thing in human history.
[15:29] But other than that, during these
[15:32] matches, I really was just focused on
[15:35] getting the last hits of minions and
[15:36] limit testing my damage as Weaver. I
[15:39] also learned that sometimes people can
[15:41] see me when I'm in my W state, but I
[15:44] didn't know why.
[15:47] >> These games were just passing and
[15:49] passing, and I felt like I really was
[15:52] improving slowly but surely.
[15:56] But I could tell that we were also going
[15:58] against better people the more we
[16:01] played. And it seemed like the level
[16:02] gaps from the teams were just disgusting
[16:04] most of the time, leaving us with no
[16:07] chance in hell to possibly win. But that
[16:09] didn't stop us from pushing more and
[16:11] more games in to the point where I was
[16:13] actually pretty comfortable knowing what
[16:15] to buy on weaver at this point. But I
[16:17] still didn't understand the whole
[16:18] strength, agility, and intelligence.
[16:21] But I was assuming that strength was
[16:24] attack damage, agility was attack speed
[16:28] and [music]
[16:29] intelligence was magic damage
[16:32] respectively.
[16:34] If
[16:37] I was put it in put yeah if I was
[16:39] putting it into League of Legends terms
[16:41] at least.
[16:44] >> Yeah. So maybe I don't really know. But
[16:47] yeah, I was understanding what to build
[16:49] on Weaver anyway, but I wasn't sure why.
[16:51] I was slowly learning as well different
[16:54] characters such as Tiny who can throw
[16:56] people around and grows bigger as the
[16:57] match goes on or tree man who thrives in
[17:01] the trees and can like root you and
[17:04] stuff like that. So yeah, I was learning
[17:07] what to do around some characters, but
[17:09] nowhere near 120th of the cast. Could I
[17:12] name them or tell you what they do?
[17:16] So, yeah, I'm still feeling pretty early
[17:20] in my character training arc.
[17:23] Also, at this point in time, my friend
[17:25] started watching some videos to see what
[17:27] we were doing wrong, and it seemed like
[17:29] we [music] were doing the basics fairly
[17:31] well and weren't making too many
[17:33] mistakes, which was great to know, but
[17:35] that doesn't really make us perfect. At
[17:38] best, it makes us below average, which
[17:40] you know what, at this point in time was
[17:43] pretty good to me. I' I'd take it with
[17:45] how many hours we had under our belts. I
[17:48] started trying to use my courier more as
[17:50] well instead of teleporting back to the
[17:52] shop and buy my items. And also having
[17:55] walked to the secret shops for me, so I
[17:56] didn't have to bother [music] wasting my
[17:58] time on this meaningless task that is
[18:01] the uh secret shop. I [music] hate it.
[18:04] But I did keep forgetting to use him
[18:07] consistently. And for the League of
[18:09] Legends people, the courier is kind of
[18:10] just a thing that buys stuff from the
[18:12] shops and then delivers it to you no
[18:14] matter where you are on the map. So
[18:16] [music] that is quite useful. But the
[18:18] enemies can find your courier and kill
[18:20] it, putting it on a death cool down and
[18:23] gifting them gold. [music]
[18:24] So it's a riskreward kind of thing. I
[18:27] actually quite like it, but I can see
[18:30] why it isn't used in League because it
[18:32] is a much faster paced game.
[18:34] Well, in this there's no recall [music]
[18:36] button, but instead you have to buy town
[18:38] scrolls to go back and you get a town
[18:40] scroll after death or you can spend 100
[18:43] gold on the town scroll. Hours 30
[18:45] through 50 saw a vast improvement for me
[18:48] from learning a lot about Weaver and how
[18:50] his items work with him. And I also
[18:52] started to attempt to learn how
[18:54] different characters work and what they
[18:56] do. I was still learning how to play
[18:58] around them and stuff like that. I still
[19:01] truly don't understand how towers work
[19:03] yet. So, for the next 50 hours, I
[19:05] [music] will also be sprinkling in some
[19:07] videos here and there so I can truly
[19:09] learn what I need to [music] because as
[19:11] far as the basic mechanics go, I really
[19:14] do think I've learned all I can on my
[19:16] own for now. I just need to start
[19:18] getting to the somewhat more
[19:20] intermediate mechanics. And also, I
[19:23] think watching videos on the game will
[19:25] help me learn the characters and the
[19:26] importance of each lane and [music] when
[19:28] I should swap lanes and all that kind of
[19:31] stuff. But somewhat of a problem for us
[19:33] is we can still get a lead most of the
[19:36] time, but holding that lead feels
[19:38] impossible. Like we'll be two levels up
[19:40] on our opponents in lane, then 10
[19:43] minutes later we'll see them somewhere
[19:44] [music] and they'll have more items,
[19:46] more XP, and then we'll just get slapped
[19:49] [music] around. So, we really need to
[19:51] learn what's going wrong there.
[19:58] >> Every single time we queued up now, it
[20:00] seemed like we were outclassed for some
[20:02] reason. Almost as if all our training up
[20:04] until this point was all for nothing.
[20:07] And I have no idea at all what we've
[20:09] done to summon the Goon Squad to come
[20:11] out of the woods and abuse us. But
[20:14] that's exactly what was happening at
[20:16] this point. just pure abuse to the point
[20:18] where I was questioning if we weren't
[20:21] even playing against bots to begin with.
[20:23] And when I say these 25 hours were a
[20:26] waste, that's exactly what they were. It
[20:30] was just match after match of losses and
[20:33] sadness to the point where I really
[20:35] didn't even really want to finish this
[20:37] challenge up at the point. I was just
[20:39] starting to hate my time on the game due
[20:42] to the steamrolls. like
[20:46] we had no chance whatsoever. I guess I
[20:50] got two positives from it. Actually, I
[20:53] was starting to learn some of the actual
[20:55] characters we were going against because
[20:57] of how much we was getting battered by
[20:58] them. And we was also coming up with
[21:01] like different theories on what they did
[21:03] when we saw them and like how they could
[21:05] use their abilities to catch us and
[21:06] stuff. But I still couldn't say for
[21:10] certain 100% what every character does
[21:13] or anything that we that you could show
[21:14] me. And we was also learning more about
[21:17] the map.
[21:20] We was also learning more about the map,
[21:22] such as there's areas you can go to to
[21:24] get XP and also little gold bounty
[21:26] things on the floor at the start of the
[21:27] game that people fight for.
[21:30] The shop was also becoming slightly more
[21:33] clear to me, but I still think that
[21:35] League of Legends shop is just so much
[21:37] better. But that might just be a biased
[21:39] thing that will never go for me just
[21:40] because it's just more streamlined and
[21:43] understandable. Whilst this game shop is
[21:46] very cluttered
[21:48] and the game doesn't really assist you
[21:50] in any way or tell you what items do
[21:52] what really.
[21:57] It also has a bunch of special different
[21:59] terms like just to be different or I'm
[22:03] an idiot. Who knows? But yeah, there's
[22:05] not really much to talk about in these
[22:06] hours. I was just still playing Weaver,
[22:09] getting my [ __ ] pushed in. There was
[22:12] just pain during these hours. And you
[22:14] know what? It really dampened my
[22:16] experience on this game a lot. But I saw
[22:19] the light at the end of the tunnel and
[22:21] just locked in because I only had 25
[22:24] more hours left.
[22:27] The final stretch of this challenge and
[22:29] I knew this was my last chance to prove
[22:31] myself. So, I got straight to work
[22:33] trying to focus on everything from CSing
[22:36] to taking fights I need, poking the
[22:38] enemies when I need to, trying to force
[22:40] them out of lane or at bare minimum make
[22:42] them have to spend more money on health
[22:43] bots and stuff like that. But I was
[22:46] still slipping up way too often, causing
[22:48] losses, and obviously a lot of times I
[22:50] was just dueling a lane, just farming,
[22:52] [music] and then one of my teammates
[22:53] would get ran through and then we would
[22:55] get ganked and then from there there's
[22:57] no hope for the game. But that's bound
[22:59] to happen in these kind of games. But I
[23:00] still feel like I should know how to be
[23:02] getting around that to be honest. But
[23:05] for now, there was just no way for me to
[23:07] even have a hope against this kind of
[23:10] stuff. So, I just take it on the chin
[23:12] and move forward. These games were going
[23:14] a lot better than hours 50 through 75.
[23:18] It didn't feel like I was getting curb
[23:19] stomped and had no chance of fighting
[23:21] back in any sort of way. It might have
[23:23] been because we took like a week or two
[23:25] off due to like me being away for work
[23:29] and when I was at home, I just really
[23:31] didn't want to play Dota 2 cuz of how
[23:33] those hours went. But it felt like the
[23:37] people we were going against had dropped
[23:38] in skill level and now they [music] were
[23:40] more around our level. Or it could be we
[23:43] was a lot more focused for once and
[23:45] actually [music] dropping call outs to
[23:46] one another and coming up with plans.
[23:49] Also, just because we are pushing into
[23:52] the 100 hour mark doesn't mean we can't
[23:55] [music] still learn things because I
[23:58] found out that you can kill your own
[23:59] minions or even towers to deny [music]
[24:01] the enemies from getting them. And you
[24:03] can also lead out the jungle camps every
[24:06] 5 minutes or so so that you can double
[24:07] them up or stack them, which is
[24:10] extremely neat. But yet another thing
[24:12] you need to keep track of while playing
[24:14] the game, which is insane. It really
[24:18] feels like there's a checklist of stuff
[24:20] for you to do to keep track of. And for
[24:22] me, it might be because I'm still not
[24:24] used to it yet. But I just lose track of
[24:27] the time and everything really quickly
[24:29] whilst I'm trying to focus on CSing to
[24:31] the point where I don't know when I'm
[24:33] meant to be in the jungle killing the
[24:34] camps or where the XP when I should like
[24:38] go to the XP shrine thing. Before I knew
[24:40] it at all as well, I was on the last
[24:42] match of the challenge. And when I say I
[24:45] locked in, I locked in hard. I knew this
[24:49] had to be one of
[24:51] the best games I could put in. And it
[24:55] was.
[24:56] I install locked Weaver and Let Loose.
[24:59] And this was possibly the funnest match
[25:03] of the whole challenge. While my farming
[25:05] wasn't perfect and I was still messing
[25:09] up in areas as you do, I was getting
[25:13] minions fairly consistently and [music]
[25:15] I was exploring the jungle and getting
[25:16] the camps. My friend as a support was
[25:19] feeding me all the kills and getting the
[25:21] fountain fruit and giving me the health
[25:22] and mana when I needed it. We were
[25:25] outpoking the enemy as well. And well,
[25:29] this is the highlights of my final game
[25:31] of the 100 hours.
[25:35] Spirit breaker.
[25:36] >> Oh yeah, Spirit Breaker's alt. Um, okay.
[25:38] She healed is it's a global alt where
[25:41] she just charges. It's like um imagine
[25:43] Scion's all but it's point and click.
[25:48] Oh.
[25:52] >> So, do I do switch to uh Oh,
[25:59] >> what?
[26:02] [laughter]
[26:03] Wait, what does he do that? Cuz
[26:05] >> that was the blink.
[26:06] >> Okay, but some people have a different
[26:09] like when someone denies your creep.
[26:10] Like someone denied one of mine.
[26:13] >> Hey, I just giggling. Not sure what's
[26:15] happening. This video this one. This
[26:17] one's just a messy starter.
[26:19] But hopefully it's the last one before I
[26:21] can play play some new characters.
[26:25] Yeah.
[26:28] >> I want to say forever. I want to say you
[26:29] can just keep doing it.
[26:34] most
[26:40] going to make it. Oh, what the heck?
[26:41] Talk about me. Oh,
[26:45] is this guy real?
[26:47] >> Yep.
[26:49] >> Oh, okay.
[26:52] >> Oh, god. Oh,
[26:53] >> it's a jump scare.
[26:58] >> Definitely kill him. Uh, I can
[27:02] definitely try to live.
[27:06] >> Oh, there's Viper.
[27:08] >> Go first. Oh crap. He's definitely like
[27:11] death on my cheeks. There's no way.
[27:16] >> Oh, he's accompanied by someone.
[27:19] No, that is a this I don't have this
[27:22] such a good stage.
[27:36] Oh okay.
[27:38] >> So, so we got it. Hey, keep that. Keep
[27:40] that luck. We We need that. Damn.
[27:50] Oh my god.
[27:55] >> Okay.
[27:57] Okay.
[28:02] >> Okay.
[28:04] I don't know what I just did. [laughter]
[28:07] That's crazy.
[28:10] >> Hey, just keep doing it. I I'm going to
[28:12] rinse the game.
[28:19] Oh, good heals. Keep Y
[28:43] range here.
[28:45] Oh, he go.
[28:52] >> Oh my god.
[28:53] >> Yeah, just in the game first then.
[28:57] >> Oh. Oh, it's 85% by the way. Oh, yeah.
[29:01] Oh,
[29:03] >> good. So good.
[29:06] >> Come on.
[29:08] Please. I am extremely proud of that
[29:11] game. I'm sure if a Dota [music] player
[29:13] saw that, they'd be cringing their eyes
[29:16] out and just flaming me. But for me,
[29:18] that was an amazing game and [music] it
[29:20] felt like a highlight of my time on Dota
[29:22] 2. Everything I learned in the 100 hours
[29:25] was applied from both [music] me and my
[29:27] duo. So yeah, that's my first 100 hours
[29:30] on Dota 2, and I can happily say I
[29:33] enjoyed my time with this [music] game
[29:34] overall, even if I was getting quite
[29:37] sick of the game near the end because of
[29:39] how non-bgner friendly it is. [music]
[29:41] And when people do compare this game to
[29:44] League, there should be one thing that
[29:47] people know. This game is like 10 times
[29:50] harder than League. There is just so
[29:52] much more going on in this game, and it
[29:54] feels like there's always more to
[29:56] someone's kit than you would possibly
[29:58] think. I still prefer League in every
[30:01] way, and I think that's always how it
[30:04] will be just because it's so much more
[30:06] quicker and snappier to me. Um, and it's
[30:09] [music] it was my first moa. The
[30:12] characters just are more fun to me. Jump
[30:14] on and mess around. You [music] know,
[30:16] it's just one of those games. Whilst
[30:18] Dota seems to have like more layers to
[30:21] it. Um, but it has one too many layers
[30:26] [music] for me. And again, that's just
[30:29] due to my inexperience with it. But
[30:32] yeah, the character designs also aren't
[30:33] for me. and there's no
[30:36] like variety in characters that [music]
[30:38] I enjoyed.
[30:39] Uh, will I ever return to Dota 2 in my
[30:42] life?
[30:43] I'm probably probably one day cuz I do
[30:46] want to try and tackle [music] the
[30:47] ranked, but for now I can happily hang
[30:50] up my gloves on a high of the last game.
[30:54] I still had so much more to learn, so
[30:56] much more to improve on. I still don't
[30:58] really understand how towers work. Um, I
[31:01] [music] don't know half the cast. In
[31:03] fact, I don't even know a quarter of the
[31:04] cast of the game. So, yeah, I still have
[31:07] so much more to improve on, but for now,
[31:11] yeah, the gloves are hung up for me. I
[31:14] hope you enjoyed the video, and if you
[31:15] did, please like and subscribe. That
[31:17] would help me out so much. And thank
[31:19] [music] you for watching.
