I don’t recommend you play DotA. You can be kept hostage for over two hours there by griefers! Though I think it’s a lot less hardcore now the way it’s balanced, and there’s behavior score.
It’s a hard thing to balance game ruining behavior in public games, especially when there is ranking/ELO.
I had over 10k hours in DotA. But pubs just became psychological torture at some point. A pro actually said, the way he reaches the top in the public ladder is to be psychologically on top of your game. And basically babysitting the psyche of your entire team, as they are similar rank to you skill wise, but might lose their shit after one mistake, or whatever, which happens on both teams.
My conclusion was that these games are great, but best enjoyed with pre-set teams or private leagues.
Rocket league was kinda leisure for me, as the games are so short. Also lots of fun to just practice flip resets, air dribbles, and so on in the freeplay training mode. But it’s still frustrating and mundane, when you’re forced into a certain playstyle in order to win no matter how your teammates play, rather than playing off of each other more.
It took Rocket League and another multiplayer game called Super Animal Royale, to cease playing multiplayer online with randoms. Friends only.
Oh and I’m permanently banned from both of those games too. At least with Rocket League, my Steam account is banned which contained a handful of DLCs I wanted and a couple of lucky trades I got when the rocket league garage was available, a site players could use to trade items with. All down the drain. All because of putting up with countless assholes on there.
So no, I will never touch games like DotA, LoL and whatever else because I’m just going to remember the tail-end time with Rocket League where it was just back-to-back miserable experiences, even when trying to be spacious in how much I play it. When things go right in Rocket League and nobody is being a prick, it is an absolute blast of a time, win or lose.
Hot damn, spicy!
