I'm sick of DOTA

"Every time I go to school, then I  hear DOTA! When I'm in the train, DOTA! When riding on the jeep (Philippine Jeepney), DOTA!"

Arghh, I'm sick and tired hearing the word DOTA everyday! I wonder why my fellow Filipino gamers (should I call them gamers?) can't play other games like COD:MW or Halo? When I introduce a topic about newer games into the discussion, they gave me blank stare. I wonder if they touched a console or really played other games.

I don't really hate DOTA which is great game but not perfect. I really hate the players who were very addicted to it.

Noobs vs. Pros

"Average-joe wannabe" gamers/Noobs vs. Pro gamers/the experienced surfaces again. I clearly remember the "internet cafe players" playing dota, shouting shit at each other, bragging about their kills. I also remember that while playing Warrock (pc based fps), I saw the enemy shooting at me at 50 yards while sniping some enemy trying to capture our base. Fortunately, I tagged him first before he get near to me. Then I was saying to myself "What is this guy doing!" then I said "Man, this guy need to learn". Ok, I'm not antagonizing the averages and newbies. But there are a times they are acting like a "noob", cursing the better players and taking the game seriously.

I wish these people must practice and take advice from the veterans to be a better players. Unfortunately, there are some players that shouldn't even be called the elite or GM. Calling them selves pro and disguises themselves that they're good but they aren't. I reality they are still a newbie that got lucky or I would say cheated. I met a lot of people like I'm describing right now. I'm surprised that they've fooled many people believing they are the experts.

The reasons I write this blog is because I was disturbed by the fact that there are more wannabes everyday and having their asses kicked. In fact, 8 out of 10 gamers are wannabes or stereotypes based on my experience on my lifetime. I deeply concerned about those players that are claiming they are the best that they are "pwned" by the experienced gamers and then they are revealed to be a fake a-holes. A sad story isn't it?

My advice to these players is to learn and make mistakes. Death count don't count and that's the life. Mistakes makes you a pro or elite. I don't recommend bragging at all. Then maybe, the noob will be "the pro of the future". Who knows. But this time pro gamers win.
