INTRODUCTION
Dota_allstars!… haha, it seemed ridiculous to talk such thing in blog. Nvm, juz some opinions to share. For those who have no any single idea of wht it is, kindly tell u that its full name is DEFENSE OF THE ANCIENT, which is well known as Strife-style custom map created for the game Warcraft 3 (by Blizzard Entertainment ).
This is a quote from wikipedia, simply for introduction.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dota
"For the DotA map, two bases are set at opposite corners of the map. In each base is situated a central building known as the Ancient,
from which the map derives its name. The goal of the game is to destroy
the Ancient of the opposing team and to defend one’s own ancient……….The teams consist of up to five humans, each controlling a single hero, and a computer which controls creeps…………Without the influence of heroes, the game cannot quickly be won by
either team. Creeps will battle each other and then sacrifice
themselves in futile attacks on the towers."
Wht!? u can find such relevant info in wikipedia!!?? haha, actually i was also surprised when told by my friend initially. By the way, it do happen. From this, we can c how popular the game is. In my course 4SEE(electrical engineering) , abt 25 out of 33 (estimated figure, actually i dun even know the total number of chinese coursemates) male coursemates have tried their hands in this game..wht a great number!!
Y THIS GAME APPEAR ATTRACTIVE?
Hmm… this is juz my point of view. This game is interesting due to the different spells and attributes possessed by each hero. And there are so many heroes to be selected!!! As a gamer , u only need to control ONE hero to fuifill yr mission. Seem eazy rite? Haha,for those who have experince, inevitably the answer is NOOOO! The gamer must be fully concentrate at every single control of the hero. etc.. get the last kill of the creep/tower to gain the extra money and experince. Of course, if u want to pawn opposite team hero for an extra 100 gold. This conspiracy really really requires a good planning and accurate estimation. Otherwise, u will get a reward—rest yr fingers from the keyboard and mouse, waiting yr hero to revive.
Wht i like abt this game is that there is always miracle. I experince this circumstances many times b4: when i thought my team sure would be defeated ( estimated from the type of heroes selected, opposite team gamers level, and the most important–killing record ), but eventually it took a drastic turn and my team succeed to push the creeps inside the enemy base and destroy the rax.. The game is designed well in balancing winning elements, namely the value of a single hero , team value, items and runes. We need a good strategy and arrangment in winning a game, not only depend on single hero but simultaneously a single hero (esp solo one) which is fantastically developed also provides significant value. So, it allows miracle to happen at the last moment, if yr team deserve it. The conclusion is that, never give up until the game end. From this, can we get any teaching of life?
DOTA= DECAY OF THE ATTITUDE?
dear dota kaki, dun give me cool dagger stare 1st ! i dun mean any critic, juz suggesting a better manner of gaming. Hehe, i understand a gamer has so much reasons to get irked. Losing a game is normal, we can’t expect winning every game rite? but the worst is that when u team with noobsss !! ( noob: a gamer with fresh/no skill) oh no ! i know this is such a merciless punishment for a gamer who wish to end the game with victory. There are two categories of noob: self-conscious-noob(SCN) and pretend-pro-noob(PPN). haha, this is my own created new terms!! 
Some times teaming with SCN still bearable coz they are willing to try and learn. Think a better way, we were once noobs b4 getting better dexterity in gaming rite? (Of course, i dare not self label as pro. I dun hv such level and practice, juz consider myself a normal player) How abt when teaming with PPN??? haha , u will hv a chance to watch free show. Yr teamates will argue and blame each other for this for that…if u are pure enuf, there are many new terms to be learned.. haha! all harsh words and foul languages ! From this , we gonna c the vanish of polite or any moral valus teached by teachers when someone get angry.it only spoil the mood of gaming rite? worth? so…. the lesson is : angry is like getting mad. plz try not to do so, although yr heart seem wanna do so. In conclusion, train ourself to be tolerating, mercy, and to be steady although u lose a game !
One of my favourite CnY movie: 哩古哩古新年财 ( watch b4? dun judge the movie rasionally, coz can’t expecting too much from CNY movie. I juz like the way it represent funny element) has presented one meaningful idea : Pai pan hou, jik hai yan ban hou; pai pan mun hou, jik hai yan ban mun hou (牌品好,即是人品好;牌品不好,即是人品不好). In drama, Andy Lau refuse to accept Gigi due to her bad temper of MAJONGing… the same thing happen in our life also.. we should train ourself to be steady and good temper. every game is a good game, if u hv a great heart, dun u agree?
here is the conversation i saw b4 whild DOTAing:
" mahai…. y u run? "
"want me to die wif meh?"
"wtf, u stil green life leh! cb la u!run back so fast"
"they 3 ppl there u still go there, sendiri cari mati nia…."
"fuck!!they full life meh?? c with yr mcb wtf eyes la…shit!noob!!!!"
"can u stop scolding ppl?juz a game, no nid like tat" (third person)
"fuck la , all noobs lai de.. sienzzzz"
"dun talk liao la, ppl play for fun , u play for fuck.."
U can c similar conversation quite often, mostly happen mutually with words of regard, more " stimulating" ,and i am really confuse wif ppl play for fun , or play for fuc*??? i agree a gamer has too many reasons to get frustrated, but is it necessary?
Any comment? any post is welcomed.
p/s: i dun mean to post foul languages, juz wanna unveil the true reality i experince.
大师的用意,是不是因为现代人严重缺乏爱? 配合时代背景嘛!
