DOTA like Our Life

Our life is just like a popular game which is called as Defence of the Ancients, also known as DOTA. The game can contain maximum number of 10 players and mostly people play it in 5-on-5. The way to win the game is by destroying enemy’s main building in the base.

Why do I say that DOTA is like our life? Well it’s because all the playing styles and the entire requirement to win a match of DOTA is the same as requirement in our real life. For example, if you want to win one match of DOTA, first you need great teamwork between you and your teammates. It’s just like in the real life, we need teamwork to succeed something fast and nice. It is easy to get a great teamwork between you and your friends but if you play it in public, you need to communicate between you and your teammates like talking to them nicely.

In addition, you should choose a hero to play the games. Each hero has its own skills and unique. Once you have leveled-up, you will have one attribute point to learn a skill. If you do not up any skill, you will be unable to kill enemy and win the game, another words, like a useless hero. It’s just like our real life, we will get some experiences from something that had happen and learn something from it. If you do not learn or even try to learn something from there, you are just the hero who do not up any skill, it is useless.

Beside that, DOTA is a game which like the other games, where you undergo triumph and disaster , win and lose. We should treat it easy and accept it, a pro-player will also lose in the games, there is no one who will always win. Example, EnotHOME.Loda who is famous in the DOTA world. He played a great amount of match, sometimes he wins and sometime he loses but the next match which is after the lost match, he played better. Just like in our real life, sure got win and lose, happiness and sadness. It’s just how we treat it. If we meet the lose, we should think about the reason why we lose and think a suitable measure to overcome it.

Furthermore, you need to learn some tactics to win the game, such as animation cancel, last hit, shift tactic and more. Like last hit tactic, it means that when the enemy’s creep is in red hit point, you use one normal hit and killed the creep and you get gold and experiences. You should have good timing to master it. It’s just same as our real life, we should wait until the suitable time to take actions.

Additionally, you must also know what is the next step the enemy will take to win the game. Such as Lina Inverse, Slayer’s Light Strike Array which is AoE stun, we should try to avoid the enemy using this skill to stun us, so we need to know where and when he or she will stun. On the other hand, if you are using a hero which has skill that needs to aim, you also need to know where is your enemy going and click it on the path which your enemy will go. In our real life, especially in business, we should know what is the next step your competitor will take and we should try to avoid or take an action to counter it.
