DOTA 

Why is Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) a popular game? Based on my own experience and observation, people play DOTA to earn prizes in competitions, to pass the time, to earn money by betting on a game, and to know who is the better gamer.

It’s not just a simple game of destroying your opponent’s base and then the game over, you’ll need to develop a good strategy, analyze everything your opponent and teammates do in the game, learn every hero and item and build great teamwork for you to win the game.

 

For people who treat this game as a joke or a waste of time, well you’re wrong, for us players, it’s a way we pass our time and have fun, we all have our own way of entertaining ourselves, ours is playing this great game. I think it will only be considered bad or wrong if you get addicted to it and wasting your whole day playing, but if you just played whenever you have a free schedule.  Maybe we can just treat it just like a hobby.

I've been playing DOTA many years now, I think the key to not get addicted to it is to know your priority such as your education, your family and friends etc. if you know what it’s really important you’ll never get addicted to the game.
