But when I did get my hands on Dota 2, it was like, yes, I like this type of game as well. It’s still a top-down perspective, though obviously very different from StarCraft - you're controlling one unit instead of hundreds - but I played that up until Overwatch, which would have been about mid-2016 or so.Īnyway, I went to Dota for a bit while I wasn’t streaming because streaming wasn’t as viable.
