Please, I want to focus in final year project but this game is very addictive.

14 floor

uninstall will do.

haha i believe most of the people have faced this problem before. that's why i chose to have group study instead of study alone at home.

LoL I'm the exact opposite.

Is it too late to start learning how to play this game?

think in this way, if your standard not qualified to join tournament > quit

Just ignore it for first 3 days. If successful then don't open computer to play game anymore. 1 Week later you are cool.

When u are in losing streak, u won't have a fucking good mood to play the game, everytime u want to start the game, urself will do a judgement and prediction whether u can end the streak or continue to win.

I was in losing streak after 7.20 come out, didn't open dota for 10 days.

I thought losing will make you work harder to win? No offense to the fellow sore losers.

get married & have 2 or 3 kids. you wont even have time to touch your pc or laptop

noob hai

lol
.. travel2... no time to play eventually stop like me... acc my friend play

LoL this is damn true, unless you are irresponsible.

Still can steals a few games at night

If i remember correctly, you can request steam to block you from dota for a specific period of time.

How can anyone have fun playing with Pinoy and indog and even cancerous local player lol...just stop this shitty game man..aint worth your time

just delete the game bro

just delete steam or sell all your items

Move to a place with bad internet, you'll get so frustrated you'll stop playing.

or

Find a job. You'll get so busy and tired you'll forget about the game.

Both happened to me and thus havent logged in for a solid 2 years now. But i still watch TI and streamers

14th floor

actually the problem is normal game takes too much time. its not that the addiction is bad. if you find yourself full of things to do and still want to play the game, just opt for Turbo. nothing can beat what you really want to do.

I got close to 7000k hours on dota and finally managed to quit.
the only way to quit was to delete my steam account permanently.

If you have a laptop, then throw the mouse and use the touchpad.
But seriously, you can always organize your schedule so as to devote time to the project. and play some Dota. The brain also needs to relax from work.

Control a bit tell urself today only play 2 matches dats it. If not, I ll go jump 14th floor(example)

Try lose all the match.. u will want to quit...

2 options:
1. delete the game
2. quit uni and continue with the game'

choose wisely

GG!

choose option 2 if u are pro player.
choose option 1 if u are herald

make your gf pregnant...thats how i stop.

chop off ur hand just kidding lol

have kids

addicted to something else

try play other game, and then you will stop playing Dota then addict to other games

I stop playing dota2 by spending up my free time doing part time job

uninstall steam

I also long time gamer. I pursuit become dota 2 pro end up failed as I play in sea server most toxic places in the world. my mmr keep dropping instead of increasing. Actually quiiting dota 2 a lot of benefit. u tend u to talk better without inner secretly hate people. I play sea server now I feeling hate pinoy don't want become their friend in realife as they destroyed my dream become pro game. I tried my very best already always solo queue expose a lot flaw factor. play until mentally ill. physical grown fat, entire world call you retarded and call you idiot. lots more..dota 2 is very very addictive game instead of fun. if u fun why you feel angry and frowning at people? if u cannot quit just limit your play time if u miss it sometimes. I quited dota 2 1 week .. I feel very miss the game and keepc oming back....cant be helped...I have beat mushi one on one in a pc expo..everyone when crazy..for me such a lot rank ppl can beat pro gamer....sponsor offer me become pro gamer but I reject..i feel that I work so hard until today and pawned every single ounce of my mental and health now u just easy easy offer me this sponsorship. go fuck yourself la!

The more I lose in Dota the more I want to play

watch pro scene

you'll stop playing

want to watch more

UNINSTALL. And get urself busy. Best is not to do work alone.

+1

It is not hard to stop. You will eventually find something else to do.

Removing the game helps a lot

Get a gf, then you got no time to play d, quit naturally LOL

Quite true lol

Never even thought of quitting before (was a competitive (amateur league) d2 player back then), but once got gf, just no chance to play lol

There is way out from DotA 2. I only manage to quit for 2 years then o got hooked up to it again. Smh

You just cant 😅

I quit cold turkey 5 to 6 times in the span of 6 years Still cant dota 2. Keep one going back addicted to dota 2. Tried moving to csgo,LoL, rocket league, minecraft,l4d2 and many others games still cant work. This time i tried going cold turkey again from december until now. Accidentally saw ti9 and shit, want to play again. After spm sure will 24/7 dota 2 edy.

Haiss. Gone la my life

I think once you realised the commitments you have, then you would stop. One match is like 40-60 mins just for 25 mmr. Can do something else or play other games

same seems to be for everyone. haha. no getting awayyy

Started working..but weekend confirm will still doto with my friends..doto never dies man..

well one day Im kinda pissed with my 28th y.o friend who was so serious in this game and scold my noob hands and I realized im not that young anymore so I just screw him back: stop being childish because it's just a fuking game and im trying to relax here or I will just quit dotA.

Eventually that was my LAST GAME.

BYE I GTG for COD mobile.. .

Watch prawn...

Sorry to say. Dont think you can. The only way is to find a hobby or other game to replace.

I tried quitting cold turkey like 10 times already in a span of like 5 years.
I am able to get as far as like a year and less without playing dota 2. But i will come back with a raging boner to play it in the end.

Your only choice is to reduce and control. Quitting is definitely much much harder.

I think you can gradually shift your focus into sports.

Like hanging around with people that are into sports.

Badminton, Futsal, Cycling, Basketball, Fitness or even train for MMA.

By the time you finished doing all those activities, you would have little to no time or energy left to play DOTA2.

Thus, you'll get in-shape and have a healthier body overall.

lol you can uninstall if everything else dont work, its tht simple

Stop the studying, no future, DotA can make u millionaire, enough shit blue collar out there, we need more esport athlete

well, maybe don't stop playing dota2 just think about better organise your time, for example in games lets play ONLY in weekends, from monday to friday focus only on studying or something

Go set a target foryour self about make $., hangout with people with future.

With wfh nowadays..it’s getting harder

I’m still playing during work and my work always finish late
But for some reason, my work speed boost as if I feel like I’m catching a deadline. So Dota actually do help me also..still same amount of hours use for work just bit late

I think the reason is brain jammed and then release stress by playing games and work again..it actually help

it's impossible now. Battlepass is out

An annoying girlfriend will help, xd:

Ive been playing DOTA 2 for more than 10k hours. Almost 1 year non stop to be exact.

Before this I think I cannot stop too, playing hours everyday.

I think you should find something as passion to be a little bit busy compare than before.

And less friends playing DOTA also helps though. Because DOTA = team games. I didnt have high desire anymore in playing DOTA.

But still can play DOTA to enjoy with friends but seldomly / not everyday anymore.

Try to shift your concentration towards something else, such as picking up a hobby to curb your addiction.

I played dota from 2012. But my hours total is probably only 7-8k hours.

I have deleted multiple steam accounts in order to quit dota.
But just a few months later, recreate new account and reinstall.

Dota is really my personal demon. And I am going to hell. I am stuck in it forever. These days I only play Turbo... less stress to win. And faster to finish the game.

Ive played since 2011 I think, 10k hours convert to year = 1 year above playing dota non stop lol.

8k hours also almost reach 1 year play non stop.

I dont know if you can play solo DOTA, but I will be boring playing it without friends.

So thats how I stop playing it till now. Still having dota in my PC but just randomly checking inside because even i didnt played dota much like before, im still interested in TI.

Also, maybe because of some famous DOTA players that I loved retire so I didnt have that desire much anymore. LOL.

Weekend bro. Come lets play.
Just... one... game..

😛

Play non stop for one day.. from morning to midnight.. then you will get bored the next day

One does not simply stop playing Dota.

Jom...

Oh this is impossible! I tried to stop playing. But my task is more difficult since I am dependent not only on Dota but also on gambling. True, I got into gambling much earlier. Passed a rather difficult way from a beginner to an experienced player. Break even a couple of jackpots and began to seriously cooperate with one of the services. Then I began to study Dota. I also liked it and got involved. Sometimes I think about what I need to stop playing, but then I ask the question why? After all, where then look for the meaning of existence

I forgo to show my platform My Webpage on which i had palyed for a long time.

Question of age and your needs.
If you are 20+ years old and you still can`t get money out of it - you should find work you like and that process will start.
I gave up alcohol,cigarettes,hookah,sugars and dota with cs also xd
So I can help you more if you want.

I watch probably 50 hours of dota for every hour I play. Stopped playing matchmaking, just fill my lobby with easy bots on my team, and Ranked Matchmaking AI on Unfair on the enemy team. It's good fun when your bots feed and make you scramble with some aoe and antipush. Haven't looked back!

It's actually that simple - delete the game
If you install it again, you should be ashamed in front of you

managed to stop?

Hard to stop. Ti coming

Alt+F4

while doing project, give account to booster

Free arcana now. Even harder to stop

thanks gaben for the free arcana and bp levels!

I didnt open the game in 3+ years after losing streak. And yeah last week I play 15 straight game lol.

The games change so much!

uninstall will do.

Welcome home

well, been playing dota since 12 years old. and now 20 years later ( 32 y.o married and have a daughter) still playing every night.

usually play from 11pm -1am.

Dota is like my afterwork therapy.

i use to delete it during uni days. but the the music is playing in my head(also the when found game sound) . so i reinstall and play again.

Luckily i didnt fuckup my life, got a good n high earning job. my friends and family used to tell me that im not gonna do well in life because of too much dota.

Well i proved them wrong, i still a functioning member of society and still play this game.

Main je, selagi tak menyusahkan orang okay lah.

i stopped like for 7-8years then this year i started it back when i build my new rig and been on it like non-stop
