the ideal way to play cs is to never miss a shot and always hit people in the head, basically you need to have an aimbot it is not physically possible to achieve that level of play. But really the difference between cs team play and what you play in pugs is so different it’s not even comparable really. You just spent more time playing dota and less playing cs so you think cs you can play without a team better. However if you played cs for a long time and played on teams and shit you would realize that it’s the same thing and pugs are literally unfun because it’s full of ■■■■■■■ doing whatever they want and playing incorrectly when they need to be doing certain things at certain timings and etc. there’s a depth to cs that only comes from playing on a team against other teams

I mean dota was always about trying to wrangle a bunch of ■■■■■■■ into playing like a team, I think your experience of not being able to solo stomp a game any more is just because you came back a worse player relative to the community as a whole (people got better while you were gone)
The most interesting part of the game was always about timings and power spikes, the secret rhythm of the game that changed depending on which heroes you had, how you were building, the particular quirks of the patch etc. Winning games was about understanding this and wrangling people into matching it (which half the time meant trying to convince some guy not to give up and smash his items while you are in the weak phase so that you can make it to the strong phase)
When I came back to dota I realized all that had changed (timings and rhythm and whatever) and I didn't know it any more therefore I was no longer qualified to try to lead any team into anything so I actually spent a lot less effort trying to dictate the pace of the game. So that is probably the part insom's friends were talking about - having the humility to let go of this illusion that we can control these 4 other monkeys (and with me makes 5)
get a life
So it sounds like most of you have perma quit dota. I don't really play much either but when I watch competitive dota games I get the itch to play again and end up here.
How are you guys filling your time? Other video games or have you guys stopped playing games all together? I got anxiety problems. Always had em so I am a homebody, always a chore to go outside for anything.
Over the years I've realized I have very inexpensive needs and can live a very simple life and be happy. I don't enjoy working and would like to quit in the next year or 2 and try to see how I can manage trying to pull off some early retirement nonsense.
My life is not having a life. I don't socialize much, so I spend most of my time working and then watching TV or streams. Make money, etc... but money feels dumb because i dont spend much. Actually found myself at a point trying out expensive hobbies just to find something to do with money besides invest it and realized I don't like any of the people I meet now because they're all either from really privileged and happy backgrounds, or very fake and hiding their real personalities which is why I can never feel comfortable around them.
Like where else but nadota and my old friends from childhood can I ask the dirty sock question? Everyone else in the world will look at you and treat you like you're some maniac and it feels bad to have people give you that awkward 'you're only here out of courtesy' feeling but I'm not sure how much of that is purely in my head because of my PTSD.
You aren't capable of having a life because you're an americanized chink roach. You should get on TRT.
Leave the country. Go back to your home land. Return to the Middle Kingdom.
TRT? THE RED TILL?
Testosterone Replacement Therapy. You're acting like a HOUSEWIFE.
Legit considering it. It's quite an experience to live in a place where you're just a normal everyman and people don't identify you by your race/ethnicity
I think you're conflating being emotionally open with feminity. The truth is most people experience some forms of anxiety and depression but holding it inside is how we end up with these mass shootings because people get sick of being alive and full of rage.
This whole machismo concept of being a stoic person who is manly man and in charge is all bullshit and a product of hollywood/media
you being american is a product of hollywood/media
Hopeless. Completely brainwashed and ■■■■■■■■■
put that in your pipe and smoke it
You are some over-analytical borderline autistic low-test moron. You are neurotic. Juice yourself with Testosterone and stop thinking. That's all you have to do: this isn't a game to intellectually posture over nothing. Stop being a ■■■.
Return to your homeland and stop living in some spiritually dead country where your brain gets turned into mush with nonsense propaganda.
