We Like Dota is a podcast about the casual Dota 2 scene, with segments such as the Hero and Item of the Week, E-Sports coverage, and Noobs Ask Noobs questions.
The We Like Dota podcast is a fantastic show that caters to both casual and veteran players of Dota 2. With a perfect blend of humor, information, and community engagement, this podcast stands out as one of the best in the Dota scene.
One of the best aspects of the We Like Dota podcast is its relatability. The hosts acknowledge that they may not be the best players in the game, but their love for Dota shines through in every episode. They create a welcoming and inclusive environment where listeners can feel comfortable sharing their experiences and discussing the game with like-minded individuals. The weekly offering of jovial mediocrity provides a sense of camaraderie among players who may feel overwhelmed or discouraged by their skill level.
Furthermore, the community surrounding the podcast is truly exceptional. The friendly people who make up this community are just as passionate about Dota as the hosts themselves. The Discord server offers a place for players to find groups and chat about the game with other reasonable human beings. Theme Thursdays provide an opportunity for players to come together and enjoy unique gameplay experiences while fostering a positive atmosphere.
While there are many great aspects to this podcast, it's important to acknowledge that it may not cater to everyone's preferences. Some listeners may prefer podcasts with more in-depth analysis or coverage of professional gameplay. However, for those who appreciate a casual and lighthearted approach to Dota, this podcast is perfect.
In conclusion, The We Like Dota podcast is undoubtedly one of the best things happening in the Dota scene. With its relatable conversations, useful content, friendly community, and emphasis on creating a positive and toxic-free environment, it has become an essential listen for any Dota player looking to have fun while discussing their favorite game. Whether you're new to Dota or have been playing for years, give this podcast a listen - you won't be disappointed!
