I love playing DOTA.
I am writing this post for all my friends and all the people who don't understand why I play this game.
For those of you who aren't acquinted with the 'term', DOTA, also known as Defence of the Ancients, is a map designed by IceFrog for Warcraft 3. It soon became so popular that people didn't say they were playing Warcraft anymore, but Dota. Servers especially made for Dota appeared and it really is an addictive game.
I won't explain exactly how you play it as it takes a while to become a pretty good player and you won't understand it anyway.
Firstly, you must understand that dota is a GAME. People PLAY it because it is relaxing, entertaining and challenging just as a macao game or a match of fotball - although ATTENTION you may become a hooligan.
Secondly...
While some of you like reading fashion magazines that cover typical subjects and offer to you useless information, I enjoy the excitement of a new game when seeing what heroes were chosen by my team and what were the opposite's team choices.
While you like going through shops and wandering unknowingly deciding which pair of sunglasses suits you best, I like choosing items for my hero, so that I will stand heroically against my enemies - and beating the crap out of my brother and my ex-boyfriend.
While you like discussing how much of an idiot is the guy that fucked you and then left you, at a soda in the center of our city, looking for cute guys who will also fuck you and leave you, I enjoy thinking what is best to buy first, considering their price and efficiency.
While you like watching low buget stupid comedies, I like the challenge of each game and talking to people from all the corners of the earth about music, movies, books and games.

I know the last argument may get you thinking that I am a geeky person and perhaps I am, but I am still a sociable person and I am able to talk about anything else rather than dota when I go out with my un-geeky friends. However, I would rather cut my wrists wide open than talking about Gucci purses and nails for 2 hours.
My problem - if I had one, wouldn't lie in those who like doing what I mentioned above, but in those who play other life-consuming games such as WoW, Lineage, Heroes, Counter-Strike etc - cause i can go on and on giving examples - and still tackle me for playing dota.
Btw, to my fellow dota-colleagues : if I like playing with one particular guy dota, doesn't mean I have hang a poster of him on my wall, or that he is a better friend than you. It only means that I like playing with him because he is calm and relaxed even if we lose because, after all, it really is only a game.
