    Has the time finally come? I no longer derive the same enjoyment from the game like I used to. Tbh the game was always more fun with friends but even now I find that the risk that I spend up to an hour on a game I won’t enjoy is just too much of a constant threat. I was never great, or was trying tombe great, but I enjoyed the game and kept up and actually learned what was good and wasn’t, and even the games where I do great I find dragging and tedious.

    I’m not saying the game sucks or anything, in fact I love it. It has brought me literally thousands of hours of enjoyment. But I’m just saying there was probably a limit. And now I’m wondering if I will ever enjoy it again in the future.

    I can think of a few reasons if anyone would like to know what probably caused me to almost instantaneously lose interest, maybe I can help if anyone is addicted or something like I was. but I’ll leave it at this for now.

          Just take a break and before you get back to playing again, watch a few pro games to regain interest.

            Yeah, In my university dota is pretty big, I made some friends that were pretty high mmr, like 4-5k and it was fun then. But even during stomps I get bored so I don’t think thats the issue. And I did take a break if you look at my history, I had a match like a month ago and when I came back I was reminded things that made me remember why I lost the will to play. Honestly it’s fine, it’s kind of bittersweet but I guess I’ll return once in a while. But the addiction is fortunately gone for sure.

              Idk why you are complaining. I would give anything to be clean of video game addiction some days.

                I did a similar post a while back saying I want to quit playing this game because it's boring but I couldn't because I kept thinking about it even if I knew it was boring. Now I'm just mainly playing Turbo It's a lot more fast paced & no one can blame you for silly builds. Bad games end fast, Good games are fun~

                    Yes. I think anyone would have quit this game out of boredom if they were forced to pick Warlock the amount of times you play it. Couldnt think of a more boring hero to spam.

                        dota is like a cancer, even when it's gone it will always come back one day and ruin your life again

                          Im not really bored with it, I’m just enjoying other games atm.
                          Currently enjoying Apex Legends for leisure. Also grinding CSGO and joining tournaments in Tekken. Because I ridiculously try to maintain belief that I could go pro in multiple esports titles, like CSGO, Tekken, FIFA among others. Through it all, Dota is always here, for me to play when I want, the original game which brought me belief that I could become a professional esports player. Dota, somehow, someway, continues to survive. It’s a game I can forever fall back on, both for leisure playing 1-2 games a week, and for delusions of grandeur of going pro, grinding countless games in a single day.
                          You don’t HAVE to come back to dota. If you do, there’s something you still enjoy about if. The grind, the fun times, there is still something there

                            a twist: OP is writing about AUTO CHESS, he never has played dota in his life

                            Dogwater

                              No kotako this is regular old dotes and ETd has put it into words very well. I do enjoy other games rn. Particularly SSBU where the games don’t for half an hour or more and your success is yours alone and yours to determine. I think im gonna play once in a while just if I feel like it though.
