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"
bone clinkz is a skeleton archer. after dota 2 overhauls, he's a skeleton archer who makes much weaker skeleton archers. like most invis heroes, he was more than a little infamous back in the day, and even now, most of the people i get matched against don't reliably counter invisibility. there are more ways than there used to be, though, and invis heroes generally feel easier to fight before they really start getting dangerous these days. (certainly, none of them have bonkers winrates even in low brackets. so things are fine, i guess.) i don't see this hero get picked much in my games or in the ones i watch either.
