i think i decided on my goal for dota 2. i want to finish the all hero challenge one time. raising mmr is a lame goal and one that just makes you mad at everything. the all hero challenge is an incentive to sincerely try and learn a bit about everything while utilizing your fundamentals in the game. you get assigned heroes in order. when you finish one the game tells you your next one. i'm probably going to write a bit about each one (or most of them) since it'll be a fun way to talk about the game and the heroes. gonna make each post a reply to this one and also tag it with "d2ahc" and "[hero name] (dota)" in case anyone wants to find these later for some reason. technically i started this years ago and forgot about a couple of the early ones...
i'll probably also try and get in some games with my favs from time to time in the middle still. especially bc i've still gotta figure out how you can win with morphling. i think he's the #1 hardest hero in the game to play...
i've always liked playing everything, in fighting games too. being so close to competitive scenes kinda beats that out of you unless you really play only one game and are really smart, which does not describe how i feel about myself in fighting games. but maybe this'll teach me something about that. i'd like if it did. but the first one i got...is "wisp"
not gonna lie, right after disruptor i was a little apprehensive about this one. i once had like a 3-day stretch where i had this hero on my team constantly and i felt like it was griefing us in every game. i knew mostly why it was happening, and i figured there was a decent chance i would become that person yelling at everyone for attacking the nightmared enemy. i lost my first game, and started thinking about what this hero is. am i doomed to be the one feeling like my team are idiots for not understanding my vision? is the best i can hope for to get a team so strong i can just avoid ever casting nightmare? will i have to get lucky again to evade another cursed hero?
