I managed to get the Warcraft III Battle Chest from Sim Lim (at a reasonable S$68, too!). Now I have the leisure of playing/testing the game at home on BattleNet instead of having to go to the LAN shop all the time.
I am having quite a difficult time with the game. The learning curve is very steep. I've cycled through a quite few heroes before I settled on trying out the Medusa. Since I've heard she's supposed to be overpowered, she can somewhat buffer my inexperience as I learn until I find a character I really like. I find it very hard to get any kills so I'll just settle for dying as little as I can.
However, every time I chose the Medusa, people will automatically expect the player behind her to be an expert. They'd ask stuff like, "Medusa, are you pro?", but of course, I am an honest guy, so I just say, "No". Then everyone will go like "Then why the hell are you playing Medusa?" or "You playing Medusa is a waste". It happened several times already and my last game had the worst insults hurled at me ever. I guess I can't carry on using the Medusa if I don't want to give myself a bad name as 'the newbie who tried to act pro by playing an imbalance character'. It's quite demoralizing if I can't play a game in peace.
I guess I'll try to look for a hero that does not stand out too much (like in the case of Medusa here). I wouldn't want to be the centre of attraction in every DotA game I play.
