no different from spending money on battle passes really so I have no issue with it. Just managed to make Legend 4 yesterday, I think I am almost at the peak of my skill level but I think I may be able to reach 5.
Have tried the DOTA reddit a few times now and not impressed. There's barely anything on there worth reading and I don't recall any strategy topics at all.
within five minutes found myself irate as sin, finished the match (and won) but pretty happy I made the right decision to stop playing though I will still be watching the big tournaments.
