The problem with those games is that it is easy to spend a full day playing them:
- StarCraft tries to keep your win rate at 50%, so a lot of the time you will find yourself frustrated.
- DotA games can be really long, and some people get really upset.
Now, I recommend you write down how you feel before playing these games, and how you feel after. And try to see if it helps.
Do you feel ready to study or work on a side project for 6 hours? I doubt so. You will probably feel ready for another match, and another, and another.
