Ahh.. so we finally got a cs supporter, was wondering why no one taking side of cs:go.
Are you sure?
yes dota basics like items and recipes and hero types can be easily learned in 500 hours. Ive played for only 252 hours out of which actual playing time is about 230 hours. I can play majority heroes without any problem...
the only learning point in dota according to me is :
1. getting last hitting right
2. anti / hero capability ( you should know strengths and weaknesses of heroes you are playing and the enemy team )
3. situational items.. what to build when.
4. How to push lanes
5. Map blind spots/ warding. How to effectively deward, surpirse ganks
6. timing and sixth sense, when to use stuns/ damage items or your abilities
7. coordination with the team
in cs
1. very good aim, this alone can take 400-500 hours
2. movement you need to be very skilled at movement, using crouch silent walk and jumps
3. sound sense, you need to develop ability to hear enemy movements
4. playing under stress in cs maps are small so if u have a 1v4 situation you can still win it, but it depends how you are able to handle the stress
5. timing, throwing grenades/ smoke/ boosting
6. location, possible blind spots, blocking out map areas stalling time for bomb defusal including player rotation / peeking
7. wall banging, how to spam possible enemies out of hiding or force them to use nades etc.
8. you need to know the amount of time it takes to diffuse a bomb with a kit/ without a kit/ the amount of time it takes to plant/ what is the standard c4 plant time.
9. What items to take in the start/ how you want to distribute your team wealth/ you want sniper support or 2 eco 3 assualt
10. how to do dual pushes
11. how to fake bomb plants
12. dejavu of which site to push to, morale how to boost it, psychological edge.
13. teamwork.
at the basic competition level, as far as i have played i do pretty well with whatever experience i have... but in cs with 1400 hours of experience i used to play with pretty much the best cs players in the country and still get owned. ( sometimes )
