Dota 2 pro players

[calebp123]

Ok so I've been playing dota 2 for a little while (like 350 hrs i think so not that much) and I'm wondering about the pro scene. I've seen pros play but never played against one myself and was wondering to all you guys who have like 1500 hrs in the game what its like to play against really high teir/ pro players. I know I'm not even close but I want to know where I might stand on a scale from 1 to 10

I've played about 1,000 hrs since March on a few accounts. I'm not pro. No where near.

Got to remember these guys have played since the original and play hours daily to get better.

It's like playing against someone who is really good.

Well depends on what you call pro. Playing a full on team game is a lot different then playing a pub game. If your one to follow the build the game gives you then you need to take time and develop you're own. There a so many strategies and the plays pro's will make that most pub players wont even understand. You really cant have someone else tell you where you stand you need to make that decision yourself and if possible get a good 5 man team together you test your mettle in the full team matches

What league do you and your team play in?

Honestly its to good to be the best answer. It deserves more than that, so putting it as just "best answer" status would be an insult to that incredible response.

This is acceptable.

A lot of us who have 1000+ hours (like me) are still only half way to even being agaisnt "pro players" 

350 hours is absolute shit tier, you're no where near. None of us are, I wouldn't even say Purge is playing against (unless he queues with one)

That's just the way it is in games like LoL, SC2 and Dota2.

I'd honestly say really high level pub players (like the best) are even better than pro's. They have to adapt.

We are no where close to pro. But we do study a lot of pro plays and players an line ups. Basically we try to be as good at our level as we can. I like to think me and my friends are very good but we actually haven't had a full team in a while everyone we tried to play with in a team has either given up on going far or just wont accept the way they play wasn't helping in the long run.

I've played DotA since the original (2004-2005) but in my opinion the original DotA is still the best because it wouldn't limit your moves unlike in DotA 2. Much of my ninja move set is gone.
