How many number of games do you consider someone a doto veteran? in General Discussion
Bad Intentions

    Not necessarily the best or highest MMR, still makes a few mistakes here and there, but a seasoned veteran.

    1k games - ?
    2k games - ?
    3k games - ?
    4k games - ?

    Kindly share your thoughts. Thanks

        I don't think knowing doto or being knowledgeable about it really makes u great at the game although it will definitely help like many casters they don't necessary have high mmrs

        On the other hand ✋🏿 there are lots of people with thousands of games yet play like a brain dead pepe handed mentally and physically retarded newbie!

          pre-dota2 era, like 6.24- 6.83

            ^i agree with that. Its more about the time someone started playing than the number of games.

            I played my first game of dota at my friends place. That was like 10-11 years ago. It was just an empty game. Me vs creeps and i was wondering why i cant control my ghouls (dire creeps).

            I played medusa in that game. Since there wasnt any other heroes on my team i started with 4200 gold and bought a demons edge first item xd.

            I also remember playing naix vs bots. That was the pre 6.50 era and naix had 3 passives and 20 second bkb ult.

            My first multiplayer game was in patch 6.67 and i played naix. I remember being so scared when i played that game cause i had no clue what i was doing.

            Those were good times.

              Think number of games don't matter. But number of years you've followed the scene.

                If someone had 4k games in one year of playing, they wouldn't be a vet. Its really more about time played

                despair

                  ^4000 games in one year, considering the fact that this game is full of elementary to college students, idk how would they have 4k hours of spare time in a year

                  Suck my tiny curry dick

                    12k games

                    Dragy10

                      2/3(hours) * 4000 is somewhere along 2.7k hours that would mean you hat to play literally a workday long of playing and literallyp laying every single day

                      this doesn't make you a veteran it makes you an mental healt patient

                      Dragy10

                        oh yeah, I didnt answer the topic
                        3 wins with every hero in the game makes you a veteran in my opinion how long it takes
                        minimum is obviously 345 but it is more likely to take somewhere between 700 and 1k games

                          until you know all hero/skill/items

                          Mad Scientist

                            until you know how to deny creeps? or maybe till you know what minute mark to stack camp? till you know drop stats item for regen efficiency and tread switch? till you know item progression? till you know the hero power spike? idk man there's so many step to learn in dota i started playing dota in 2016, i don't even playing dota 1, i was busy playing one piece vs bleach lul.

                            i still remember first time going to tutorial and i thought "WELL THAT WAS EZ" and i proceed to my first match i played shadow shaman and use my ether shock every time the creep shows up, i don't buy wards because nobody is asking it to me, when people pinged me bot i thought they mocking me saying that i'm a bot :( turn out they pinged bottom, got my mmr at 910 or so and being stuck at 1k for like 6 months or so, proceed to make smurf got 2k mmr, make 3rd smurf account and got 2.5k, starts to watching dota 2 content from purge, bsj, and some meme like edje and rawdota, applying the new stuff to my game, hell even after 2 years playing this game i'm still stuck at 3.5k mmr this game surely has steepest learning curve ever made by humanity.

                              Until you know the nicknames or pseudo names of dota heroes from the warcraft game itself. 😎

                                If someone called me a doto veteran, I think I'd probably quit the game.

                                    It's actually naïve to want to get to a conclusion only by looking at the hours spent on dota or when u started playing. There are counter examples to any number u suggest.
                                    It's about a variety of things, most importantly is the ability to understand micro and macro strategies in dota + the mechanical execution. A guy can learn this without playing the game itself

                                      I missed the time i built crystalys on crystal maiden before dota 2

                                            Hours played don't mean anything if you don't try to improve yourself.
                                            Some people with 500 games play better than some with 2k games

                                              Anybody remembering the tank with starfall? Which version IT was? :D

                                                veteran equates to game wisdom I think and that equates to years following the game rather than how many recent games you've played or mmr. meta and build come around and around. trivial example off the top of my head, new players wouldn't immediately think level 1 rosh if the other team has ursa+wk whereas a veteran (regardless of mmr/game played) would.

                                                We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
