Subtitle: How playing dota can be compared to an addiction
- You are spending more Time, Energy, and Attention on dota than you intend to. It is affecting your other commitments. Even when you are doing something else, you think about dota.
- You crave the feeling of the high (from winning), more than the entire experience of playing. You need more and more to feel the same high, and the higher you get, the less rewarding it is.
- When there is a lack of ‘content’, you feel unsatisfied. An ennui sets in until you either get more content or get high. But the effect is only temporary, and you soon return to your baseline state of agitation and depression.
- Instead of being a ‘producer’ of your content, you seek contentment from outside sources.
