Attitudes in playing of DOTA..
Argh, woke up today having a very sour feeling in my heart especially when i think all the bad games that i had yesterday night. Only decided to write this entry after reading ZhiWei's entry regarding DOTA on his blog.
Yesterday, i played almost all games with one of my favorite killer heros (haven't been playing him for quite awhile) and that is the greatly feared Magina. I say greatly feared is cos a good Antimage player is simply annoying and is simply too powerful to be taken down by 1 hero at anytime and with his capability with escape and blink, it is very hard to kill him much. But alas, i lost all the games with my Antimage cos in all games, all teammates don't know how to coordinate or play as a team and provide coverage in the early game and thus denying a powerful hero like antimage a chance of owning in late game.
Dota is a team game and teamwork is important.. I really can't emphaize that point enough. No man can play the game alone and win against a team who have teamwork. I must say DOTA does reveal my competitive self and my competitive self does push me to become better and better cos the desire to win games. Winning games with teamwork in my opinion provide 1000x more joy than losing. I do not mind losing (although i don't like it) if the enemy team is really better in terms of skills and teamwork and these are the games that i learnt from as a new player. Learning from all the victories and defeats. I have won many hard fights but also have suffered many crushing defeats at the hands of good players. I do not wish to say that i'm a good player cos i think there are still much more for me to improve in the game if i wish to take part in competitive gaming competitions like the WCG which some of my friends intend to go and they are also asking me to go too and if we are going, we wanna go for experience cos as we are a new team,i do not expect to get the champion.
Regarding the ppl that i normally play with, i realise that i do not play alot with christians like Zhiwei, David, JT and etc.. Sadly to say, i don't think i'm quite well liked by christians when it comes to dota probably due to the fact that i'm always with my dota buddy yuni and we tend to take on the christians together as a tag team and i think till now, if we 2 are together in the same team, we have not lost in any of the games before. Brothers, pls forgive me if i ever shown any disrespect in the game for you or if i seems to be overkilling or whatsoever.I know that christians like games to be balanced up and that why i can understand why you all in certain sense do not like me and yuni to be in same team.. but Brothers, frankly speaking me and yuni tag team aren't that scary and we are not unbeatable in any sense. Just yesterday, me and yuni lost ALL our PUBLIC not pte games when we have a lousy teammates who don't cooperate much with us.. This shows that against players that are better than u, you guys just need to have more teamwork and communication cos me n yuni do not think that those guys that beat us in the pub games are better than us in indiviudal skills but rather cos their teamwork is better than e rest of my teammates and just me n yuni alone cannot win them..
I have been playing dota since last June and have slowly learnt the value of good teamwork and asking for instructions in game.I'm competitve and that is true but all is for e sake of fun and winning the game and that is why i constantly try to improve my farming skills, team skills and the basic of dota like exp denying. I'm sure that all of us who like to play this game wanna improve and bring our level of gameplay to a higher level. I know i want and i know yuni want and i'm sure that e rest of you want too cos if not, you wouldn't be playing so much too. But now, what i believe you guys lack is e training in teamwork and spirit in game. You guys play so much with myron and gang, i'm sure you all can learn something from them regarding teamwork and coordination.. And if you play with me and yuni long enough, you will soon understand the power of team play especially in pte games where standard are supposingly to be of a much higher standard than public bnet games..
Dew: Brother, i don't know if you got any attitude against me in DOTA or not but if you have, i apologise for my actions and hope that we can have a talk soon and resolve it if there is. We are Brothers In Christ, right? And so let's do things the christlike way.. :)
Mari: I know you are a senstive gal and that you prefer games to be encouraging and maybe that is why u do not want to play together when me and yuni are playing against the christians. It is not that i do not wish to be encouraging but rather when i see a bad team, i tend to let it get into me and i apologize for it. I will try to be more encouraging in game ,k? :)
JT: Your indivdual skills now is quite ok but need to polish your timing for ganking and be more aware of game situations. Look at the mini map more and it will make you be more aware of what your teammates is doing and this is especially helpful in killing, ganking enemies or saving your teammates. :)
My brothers.. I know you all love this game and so do i too. I do wish to and i do want to have a good team game with you all. I believe you all have the capability to play a good team game cos you all are christians and are disciples who can take inputs better than non-christians. We have quite a few good players in church too like Mark and Joe.. Dew and quek are actually also pretty decent players although team skills need to polish up abit.. The rest of you also have e potential to play well too. Make use of good teamwork to unleash the hidden potential in you guys. With good teamwork, you can win games and even turn losing games back into a winning game. Once again, i do not wish to say that i'm in anyway better than you guys or what but i do have more experience in playing teamwork and that why i hope if you guys play with me and yuni, just take e chance to see and learn how we 2 coordinate each other. Feel free to ask us if you have any questions cos me and yuni really don't mind guiding ppl 1 but obviously if you guys dun want to ask, we also feel paiseh to guide u guys cos wait you guys feel that we are being too arrogant or wat in trying to guide you all. Pls bear in mind that me and yuni only have 1 goal in game and that is to win game through teamwork and i hope that soon i can play with you guys all and knowing that you guys are good and capable of supporting the team and that i can safely rely on you all and that we can win games by the best DOTA way and that is TEAM WORK.
Maybe now you guys all don't really like to play with me now. :( but well if you guys wish to play pub or wat with me, i'm mostly available at least until i find a job. I hope if you guys have any bad attitudes or feelings towards me and my style of playing e game, pls feel free to approach me and let talk it out as Brothers In Christ. Let not let a game spoil our friendship in the Kingdom. I really do not want that to happen.. I just really wish and hope that we all as christians can have fun together and play and learn together and really enjoy this game that God have graciously created for us to enjoy. Amen..
