Ah, my DotA. You are my bliss and you are my sorrow. Sometimes I wonder how I would feel if I had not met you on that day all those years ago. Would I be a happier or a sadder man than I am now? What is certain is that of all the games I have played, I have spent more time with none other than you. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, let me introduce you to Dota 2, Valve's faithful sequel to a game that can most easily be described to the uninitiated as a mix between the RTS and RPG genres. The game consists of two 5-man teams with each player choosing a unique hero and fighting to destroy the opposing team's throne. It sounds simple enough, but once you mix in the seemingly myriad number of heroes to choose from, the race to level up faster than your oppenents, and the vast array of items to buy, you have one of the deepest and most competitive games on the planet.
