My project has yet to take off... Zzz. So here I am, finding friends to chill out with and all.
Though I tend to look forward to my nightly DOTA sessions with Spike and Hammer. Playing with them is much nicer and better than playing with my brothers. Don't get me wrong, I love my brothers, but... Usually when I play such games... I dunno. I just feel like they just patronising me. Like they can actually win the whole game by themselves and they really don't need me around.
In other words, I'm just an accessory. And I hate that feeling.
Spike and Hammer aren't that bad players actually. They're quite fun to play with. Though I absolutely suck at playing. I tend to die... An infinite amount of times. XD I kinda know my attack style. I just don't know what heroes I should use. Or as Spike calls it, my souls. XD
Basically, I'm a charger. But I need a defensive hero. And... I dunno. My bias tend to be based on what I want to be, more than what I am. I don't know if the guys noticed, but I tend to prefer heroes that are good supporters, like Razor and Jakiro (twin head dragon).
I... Also have an interest in heroes that can mass-spawn armies, like Furion and Broodmother. Except their fighting styles don't quite suit me... Or I dunno. I never really tried them.
And it's not just heroes I can't get along with. I usually have difficulty deciding what to buy. (Like all typical females) XD Reading up strategy guides is one thing. But with my own battle style, the items I should get would be rather different.
Haha! For items, my brothers love Sange and Yasha. It's like, their standard buy. Hahaha! For me, I have a fondness for any regeneration items, like Ring of Basilius. Valdmir's Offering seems really sweet to me. But... I tend to play by the book. (Which is the fastest way to die, btw.) And I need to STOP DYING.
Haha! Zack's fighting style is actually a lot of Kyoya's... (In terms of heroes they play in DOTA.) Although Zack's style is way more aggressive than Kyoya's.
Haha! If only my fighting style is as obvious as my brothers'... Sam is a straight defense guy. He hits and runs really well. Zack loves heroes that hit hard, and deal damage over time. Like Viper.
My style... Is a mix of offense and defense. At the start of any fight, I'm an offense player (unless my opponent is way more powerful than me, then I'm a defense player.) And once hit, I turn to defense straight away. So... Yeah. I swing between both defense and offense like that.
My problem is I'm an adapter. I am whatever the situation needs me to be. When I'm following Hammer in DOTA, I'm a supporter. That one is an obvious role. With Spike, the role isn't so obvious anymore. He fights like Sam. Hit and run. So when I'm fighting with Spike, I have to balance my offense and defense carefully. So it's... a little tough to switch roles like that in the middle of the game...
Doesn't help that when I'm on my own, I'm an all-out offense player. So yeah...
When I play with Zack, I'm a melee hard-hitter. To complement his fighting style. For Sam... I have no idea how to play with Sam actually. Sam is way too versatile for me to adapt to him. But generally, I would be an offense player to complement his defense style.
And yes. This much thought actually goes into the game while I'm playing. I die too much, so I have lots of time to think about such stuff. XD
Sometimes, being so adaptive is not a good thing... Even my personality now is more attuned to Kyoya's. That's why I'm his complement, as of the moment. But the more I hang out with Spike and Hammer, the more I will change. Hammer's personality is more stable than Spike's. That's why I can adjust to him better. Spike is... I dunno. Less easy to predict to me. He's an offense person, but he's more defensive than I originally thought he was.
I dunno. He's both open and closed to me... Although Kyoya says Spike's not that difficult to figure out. But well... I take time to figure people out.
