I love how most innates aren't explained, save for PB where we have to know it's because he's fat

New generation of gamers

TLDR: Just a little story about the next generation and how my and my friend's kids see Dota and their thoughts when watching us play.

---

Me and my IRL friends are all 35-45 years, play since 2004 together and the 5 of us sometimes manage to play at the same time. Most often we play as a team of 2-3 with some online friends.

We all have kids. Those old enough sit in the background, they love to watch and listen.

I realized: They really love the way heroes look and that you can customize them. The girl of my friend is 8 years and English is not her first language. Yet, she learns all hero names and items by watching. They have such a great attention to detail, ask questions as to why we try to destroy the towers. They often tell my friend who is famous for diving: "Dad, you are alone. The others are still hitting the tower."

Last time one of the kids flabbergasted ne, especially since some hero names are really difficult for them and we have to translate their meaning.

My friend was running from an enemy and saying: Someone help me, Skywrarh is chasing me.

I was playing as Skywrath. His daughter said: "Dad, that's Vengeful Spirit (they always say the full name). XYZ is playing Skywrath and he is on your team."

They never played Dota, they have their favorite heroes. Most of the boys like heroes like Pudge and Naix, some like Timbersaw or Doom.
The girls' favorites are Lina, Hoodwink, POTM, CM and WR.

One of our friends never bought skins. Since the kids love to dress the heroes, he demos them and now he even buys skins so the kids are happy.

It's such a fun and unique experience. When we all play, up to 7 kids (age 3-8) are watching. The young ones aren't allowed for long.
They often mention that we are focusing to much on fights and should go for towers and the ancient. They also like when we kill Roshan. The older ones even tell us when wisdom shrines will be active (we know but sometimes there is so much going on). They aren't really interested in Tormentor. They don't like the design/mechanic.

They really love that you can change the terrain and weather. Something I would normally never do.

A few weeks ago it stated that they suggest heroes we should pick. It's fun having a draft made by kids and it works out in the end.

Hoeniw it with you guys? Do you have kids that play Dota already? Do some of your kids watch? Do you play with your SO?
Do you still play with IRL friends? Or rather with online friends?

We often use voice when we queue with randoms and we invite everyone into our guild. That way, we got some cool new people and even real good friends that we are meeting.

I've seen right-click builds on Zeus, Techies, and Snapfire. But this is just too much...

Odd bug, stole Mana Void as Rubick, used it on Sky but he lived, he was 100% visible until he died
