Forget Dota and play Call of Duty 4 or CS

No.
RPGes and RTSes do not need real reflexes.
FPS are REAL games were reflexes are on the scale of a few milliseconds or less.
I pwn every dota player who tries to play CS or COD4.

You might think that, but you'd be wrong. You try to play DOTA without reflexes and let me watch you get owned repeatedly.

Not that I really like that fact, though I guess it does add an extra dimension of skill to the game, and extra complexity usually means more fun.

Anyway, I'd never bother playing it online because, well, they're mostly nerds without lives. But it's fun to play with mates in the computer labs between classes.

Max net and illusion, get sleep at level 6 and keep maxing net and illusion, then crit etc. For items maybe 2 bracers at the start then move onto diffusal blade. Once you get diffusal blade you're pretty much set.

or if ur like a micro-addict, just play SC or somethin lol.
