i was a DOTA gamer...
for a year or two, almost every night is DOTA night... but it does not affect my future. i'm doing well now. So that's nothing wrong with DOTA
Well, it's a game which require a lot of skills, which link to your realistic life as well: leadership, critical judgement, decision making, risk accessment, teamwork, etc. One wrong move will make your team get owned...
For DOTA gamer: don't feel guilty, if you can learn something from the game~~~
