It's ok

EDIT: Amending this after just passing 7k hours. I honestly would not recommend new players get into this game. The amount I played this game in my teens and early adult years would definitely be classed as addiction. I was thinking about it all the time and my emotional state was heavily influenced by how well i was doing in dota.

The game itself is absolutely incredible, great to play with friends and extremely well balanced all things considered. The gameplay is immensely deep and you can still be learning even after 7000 hours.

However, the community is beyond toxic and will make you toxic the more engrossed you get into the game unless you have some really thick skin. I do not like who I was when i played dota.

I really do love this game and still play with friends and have a great time. I'm thankful for this game for getting me through some really tough times. Dota will always be my favourite game that I will never recommend to someone.

P.S. keeping my review positive because it feels wrong to change that?
