5000+ hours of DOTA2, started playing DOTA in 2005, played lots of HON and LOL too, confirmed.

I was able to quit for 6 months, which was the longest I'd ever stopped playing, but relapsed recently. I don't even enjoy playing that much anymore. It's just really addictive.

I miss Nomad and Aluna and Predator even though Predator is basically Huskar. I also heard Fortnight recently overtook PUBG.. and they're not even in China yet.

Wise advice OP.

Started D1 in 2007, have way over 10k HoN games. I feel you brother/sister. Recently it seems that Frostburn managed to almost completely kill the game, I think 2018 might be the year. Still watch some hontour on Twitch and catch up with old buddies </3. It's like some sort of closure seeing that I'm not the only one the game had such an effect.
