Bloggers Wanted: Training
[When we're looking for blogs on a specific topic, we'll put out a Bloggers Wanted call. Check out the blog prompt, write your own response in the Community Blogs and tag it with the "Bloggers Wanted Essay Response" tag, and you may see your blog promoted to the front page. -- JRo] I've tried, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around games like League of Legends or DOTA 2. I understand why they're fun, and I think they're good games, I am just so unbelievably awful at them that I feel like I'll never get anywhere. I just don't have the hundreds of hours of practice required to really get good on them. A lot of people do, though. Whether it's a fighting game, or StarCraft, or a MOBA, plenty of people devote huge amounts of time into becoming beastly at their game of choice. This week, I want you to tell me about a game you've really trained for and how it managed to suck you in. Tell me about the process of starting out as a scrub, and eventually mastering your game of choice. What exactly did you have to do to really get good at it? To participate, just write a C Blog, title it "Training: [Your Blog's Title]", and select the Bloggers Wanted Essay Response tag. Throughout the week, keep an eye on the blogs and get some discussions going with your fellow Dtoiders, and make sure you look for promoted blogs from last week's topic, Improvement. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I'm kinda with you there Ross. Like, I like playing these games, but unless its an MMO where you need to devote extended periods of time, specially after you "finish" the game, I can't wrap my head around playing it at such a level where I feel like I need to be "The best.. Around.. " Or see the eye of the tiger or whatever.
Guess when it comes down to it I just want to move on and play more games. I would think a training blog from a LoL "pro" would be along the lines of "I learned to pick tryndamere and mastered attack moving"
:D Define good. according to Riot's stats I'm in the top 5% of ranked players, but I'm still 500 Elo away from the top players. Define good. according to Riot's stats I'm in the top 5% of ranked players, but I'm still 500 Elo away from the top players. I reallyyyy tried to become good at LoL, but I realized there really is no "good". Just keeping constantly in touch with champion releases, nerfs and buffs, and picking from a small pool of champions who excel at multiple roles. Beyond that there is last-hitting and item management, which neither are very extensive to get a handle on. The only thing to train is your team skills, but for individuals like myself, pfffftt. Trying to find a team es no bueno. Trying to make a living playing games competitively? You might as well save yourself the time and go the white-trash route of buying $10 in lotto tickets every week. You'll have about as much chance of winning that as building a long-term financial future (or even the foundation of one) by playing video games in tournaments. Does it have to be in a competitive environment? All of the examples in the article are multiplayer games but it never specifically says so. he doesn't state it has to be a soley competitive environment. i'm not sure what daspooch is talking about... 6:00 PM on 06.02.2013 Bloggers Wanted: When did you start loving videogames?We all have our origin stories.
