Can I Master Dota In 100 Hours With No Experience?

[00:00] Back in 2018 through 2021, I was majorly

[00:03] addicted to a little game called League

[00:05] of Legends. I play all day and night,

[00:07] learning the ins and outs of every

[00:09] character, all the different

[00:11] interactions [music]

[00:11] and pretty much how everything worked.

[00:14] And it was a constant improvement to the

[00:17] point where I even got diamond, but

[00:19] that's where I kept to be honest. But I

[00:21] was and am very happy with that. But

[00:24] during that time, I did try my hand at

[00:27] Dota 2 and I hated it so much. And that

[00:29] might have been due to the fact that I

[00:31] was so hooked on League and I couldn't

[00:33] look past that Dota is its own game. So

[00:37] yeah, I played one game and put it down

[00:40] and never look back. And I was always

[00:42] chalking it up to an inferior League of

[00:44] Legends, but recently I've had an itch

[00:47] to play a MOA and I already know League

[00:51] back of my hand. So I want to challenge

[00:52] myself and see if I can master Dota in

[00:55] 100 hours as a complete noob. So, I

[00:58] gathered up my old duo Q partner and we

[01:00] got to work learning Dota [music] 2 to

[01:02] see if we could actually master it or

[01:04] hell even understand it because it is

[01:06] vastly different to League of Legends.

[01:11] Going into this, I decided to look at

[01:13] all the characters to see if I could get

[01:14] a feel for any of them just off design,

[01:16] and I really couldn't. I just couldn't

[01:19] tell where someone was meant to play.

[01:21] While in League, you can see the

[01:22] characters and kind of get an estimate

[01:25] of where they're meant to be. Uh,

[01:27] another thing I learned was that almost

[01:29] every character in [music] this game,

[01:30] for some ungodly reason, is a nuker,

[01:33] which got me extremely nervous knowing

[01:35] that even if it's a support, they could

[01:37] just pop me like nothing. And after

[01:39] looking for a couple minutes, I decided

[01:41] [music] to play Underlord, who's meant

[01:43] to be a support character, which is the

[01:45] opposite of my [music] usual role in

[01:46] League, which is an ADC. So, I thought,

[01:49] why not try a new game, a new character,

[01:52] and a new role? So, when we loaded up

[01:55] into the game, I was just thrown into an

[01:56] absolute mess of a shop where nothing

[01:58] made sense to me. And pretty much all of

[02:00] my starting items seemed to have active

[02:02] abilities, [music] which was really

[02:04] throwing me off. But I just tried to

[02:06] ignore it for now and focus on laning.

[02:08] But every so often, I just couldn't

[02:09] understand what was [music] happening on

[02:10] my screen or how the game was meant to

[02:12] be played. So, for some reason, I just

[02:15] ended up asking questions [music] of how

[02:16] stuff works to someone who had as much

[02:19] experience as me in the game. So, where

[02:22] do where does my money come from then?

[02:25] >> Uh, not everyone really needs money.

[02:26] >> Oh,

[02:27] >> some would just use their abilities like

[02:29] you know sports in other games to like

[02:31] CC and stuff. You probably need strength

[02:33] to be more effective.

[02:35] >> While laning as well, stuff was just

[02:37] kind of happening like people taking

[02:38] items [music] from a magical fountain

[02:40] and stuff like that. But the main issue

[02:42] that we had was we had no clue what any

[02:45] character did, [music] let alone our own

[02:46] characters. But that didn't stop others

[02:49] from messing up and gifting us kills,

[02:51] which is where [music] I learned a very

[02:54] important thing in this game where

[02:55] getting kills does not matter [music]

[02:58] nearly as much in the early game as it

[03:00] does in League of Legends.

[03:02] And instead, you should be focusing on

[03:03] getting the minion kills to keep a gold

[03:06] lead and XP lead. But we didn't really

[03:09] do that. Instead, we just kept trying to

[03:10] fight, which got us into another

[03:12] important lesson. The towers only

[03:16] pretend to help in this game. I swear

[03:18] they don't do anything in reality. They

[03:20] shoot peashooter bullets from Plan's

[03:22] first zombies at you. But even though we

[03:24] didn't know what we were doing in the

[03:25] slightest, we did end up actually

[03:27] winning our lane for our first game and

[03:31] we were doing quite well. And I think

[03:33] what helped was how simple my character

[03:35] was. And before no time at all, we was

[03:38] all pushing mid and actually won [music]

[03:40] our first game of Dota 2. Now, could I

[03:42] tell you what any of the characters did

[03:44] in that match other than mine?

[03:47] No. In fact, I probably couldn't even

[03:49] tell you what my [music] character's

[03:51] role was other than rooting people. I

[03:53] was also really confused about how the

[03:55] map was laid out, questioning where our

[03:57] jungler was all game, but it didn't

[03:59] matter because we won lane. I didn't

[04:01] really mesh well with Underlord either,

[04:03] and I like the look of Venomancer, so I

[04:06] tried him out and uh well, it did not go

[04:10] well at all in the slightest. and I got

[04:14] absolutely decimated with him. Getting

[04:16] one kill before I had to [music] leave

[04:18] to watch the villa match. But don't

[04:22] worry, that match was pretty much over

[04:24] before I [music] left. We had no chance

[04:26] of having a comeback. And yet again, I

[04:28] couldn't tell you a single thing about

[04:30] that match that was happening. So, I had

[04:32] to play a lot more matches just to get a

[04:35] beat on the game. So, that's exactly

[04:37] [music] what I did, going match after

[04:38] match trying to get the basics of the

[04:41] game. And I was starting to learn stuff

[04:43] about the game actually, such as there

[04:45] isn't actually a [music] jungler in this

[04:47] game, but instead it's kind of just like

[04:49] a 212 layout. And that really threw me

[04:52] off because there's the off lane where

[04:55] you'll be the aggressive side [music]

[04:57] pushing closest to the enemy's tower.

[04:59] The mid lane, which is, you know, just

[05:01] kind of like the mid lane in League, and

[05:04] then the safe lane where you're [music]

[05:06] closer to your tower, even though they

[05:08] do nothing in Dota. So, you know, the

[05:10] the tower, you know, you're just closer

[05:12] [music] to the enemy's base. I guess the

[05:14] map's also symmetrical. Well, in League

[05:17] of Legends, the map split, which is

[05:20] pretty neat to learn. I also learned

[05:22] that you can give each other items and

[05:24] potions

[05:25] uh to quickly help out, heal, or refill

[05:28] the manner of your teammates. And my

[05:30] final match of the 10 hours was

[05:32] approaching, and [music] I still didn't

[05:33] have a character that I found that I

[05:35] liked or even found slightly [music]

[05:38] enjoyable. So, I tried yet another new

[05:40] character because I'm a firm believer in

[05:42] once you find a character [music] or a

[05:44] class or a role or something like that

[05:46] in any game, it becomes so much more

[05:48] easy and funner to play. Such as in 2x

[05:53] KO, I still haven't really found a

[05:55] character I mesh well with. I like I

[05:56] play Warwick, but with the such a small

[05:59] roster, I don't find the game too

[06:00] enjoyable. But in tech, I found

[06:04] characters that I like meshed well with

[06:06] and I played better. But anyway, on my

[06:08] final match of the first 10 hours, I

[06:11] decided to try Jeze, applying everything

[06:14] I learned so far about the map and the

[06:17] side that we were on and

[06:20] um how to farm minions and how to

[06:22] support well, but we still had the issue

[06:25] of not knowing what any of the

[06:27] characters did. And it felt like our

[06:29] opposition was just leveling up so much

[06:31] quicker than we were.

[06:33] But we knew how to take fountain fruit

[06:35] now. But just knowing that kind of stuff

[06:39] did not stop us from getting our throats

[06:41] throttled the whole game. Doing an

[06:43] occasional helping thing, but overall it

[06:46] just didn't feel like I was doing much.

[06:48] Occasionally, I hit a stun uh while

[06:51] people were under towers. And before no

[06:54] time at all, we was fighting a losing

[06:56] battle due to the lack of knowledge and

[06:58] just being oblivious. Like this death

[07:00] here. Once we finally won a fight.

[07:03] [laughter]

[07:04] >> Did you see anything?

[07:04] >> Yeah.

[07:05] >> On the tree.

[07:15] >> Shadow.

[07:19] Is that fire?

[07:21] >> Oh, no. They're they're my fire mixed

[07:23] with their demon.

[07:24] >> Oh, it's this thing.

[07:25] >> Yeah. No, my fire is mixed with it.

[07:27] >> And him? Where did he come from?

[07:32] He dies.

[07:34] >> Triple kill.

[07:36] >> Yeah, Shadow Blade. It makes him go

[07:38] invisible for 17 seconds.

[07:40] >> So, yeah, that match was heading the way

[07:42] you think it was. And before no time at

[07:44] all, we had yet another loss under our

[07:46] belts. Our first 10 hours, we had 11

[07:49] losses and five wins. And it was just a

[07:51] rough experience. [music]

[07:52] But like I have said, this is a learning

[07:55] experience, and we have learned a lot,

[07:57] but we still have a lot to learn.

[08:00] And the thing that we've learned was

[08:02] that we have got our roles all swapped

[08:05] up and are putting ourselves at a huge

[08:07] [music] disadvantage because I have not

[08:10] had much fun playing any of the support

[08:13] characters, which was a huge mistake by

[08:15] myself. So, I needed to accept the loss

[08:17] here and move on to a role that I play

[08:20] in League just so it feels like a more

[08:23] natural transition. I'm not a support

[08:25] player. I'm an ADC player and it will be

[08:28] easier for me to play a role in this

[08:30] game that was similar to what I've

[08:33] already played.

[08:37] And that's what I was really hoping at

[08:39] least was true. Also, my friend was the

[08:42] one that was heading to the fountains

[08:43] and remembering to collect the fruits

[08:45] and activate the statues or some [ __ ]

[08:47] involving that, while I was the one that

[08:49] was focused on the minions and poking

[08:51] the enemies back. So, yeah, we were just

[08:53] mixed up from the get- go.

[08:57] These hours I knew I needed to really

[08:59] lock in because while the first set of

[09:02] hours weren't really quite a waste, they

[09:06] weren't as productive as they should

[09:07] have and could have been. I don't know

[09:10] many of the characters, minus a handful

[09:12] at this point, and I weren't good with

[09:15] them. I was just playing the wrong role.

[09:17] And I and I still don't get what is a

[09:21] character's ability and what is an item

[09:23] in the game. I don't know when I should

[09:26] be trying to start a fight. I don't know

[09:28] how to maintain a lead on gold or XP

[09:30] yet. So, all of that really needs to get

[09:33] sorted out quickly. So, this time I

[09:36] decided I [music] would spend more time

[09:38] trying to figure out my character

[09:40] that I would stick with and learn

[09:42] everything about. While in League of

[09:44] Legends I had Cogmore, I needed Dota's

[09:48] version of Cog'more and just couldn't

[09:50] find it because for me, the weirdos and

[09:52] freak characters are always so much more

[09:54] fun to play. So, after a while, I

[09:58] decided I wanted to play Weaver, a

[09:59] 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.
