Quitting Dota 10 years ago was the best gaming decision I ever made. I still love the game but playing it made me nothing but miserable.

I was into it for like 4 straight months last year but fell off over Christmas and never really picked it back up. If I take a break from something for whatever reason I tend to lose all interest in it and more or less forget it exists. Just ADHD things I guess.

I kind of regret losing momentum as I feel like I was getting better at it, but at the same time it might be for the best. One of the other reasons for quitting Dota was to actually get to experience and finish some quality single player games. Last fall Deadlock was taking all my time.

Also I'm not getting younger am I, won't keep up with the teens forever in a fast game like Deadlock.
