10 Video Games Only The Most Skilled Players Can Handle

3. DotA II

King of the MOBAs, ruiner of lives and lord-master of reducing everyday working individuals to sun-dodging husks, DOTA is the perfect example of a game whose most interesting aspects get teased up front, but its learning curve will dominate your life thereafter.

Picking the "perfect" combination of characters, abilities and group strategies is arguably impossible, with each setup being balanced and workable in what feels like an infinite amount of ways. Though gameplay boils down to overcoming enemy forces and taking over checkpoints, the minute to minute gameplay of DotA is so enthralling and complex, it was one of the first games of its kind to become an eSport, attracting millions of viewers to this day.

Getting into DotA is less a hobby or casual pursuit and a career; something you can seldom say about the vast majority of titles on the market.
