If you want to explore the most toxic community on the internet, install Dota 2.
๐ No thanks?
Appropriate reaction honestly
my good sir, have you ever had the displeasure of playing League of legends?
I have, before Dota 2 beta invite.
How is it nowadays?
just as gobshite as ever of course
It was such a shame, too.
It fixed a lot of issues of W3 era of Dota, but could not hold a candle in any gameplay aspects.
My Lord, I had the distinct displeasure of being granted access to a few pre-mades. Not to be repeated
Ah yes, the "if you don't know the hero then don't play it" game
I too remember getting chewed out for randoming in an unranked match.
Now my friends exclusively play in private lobbies with bots.
Where gamers play to not have fun
It's really sad considering how amazing DOTA was umpty bajillion years ago. Also Enfo's survival.
and also X Hero Siege and Hero Line Wars
I remember the pain of trying to find people hosting things like parasite before I was able to host things for myself
I stopped playing dota after thousands of hours because I got fed up with the community. I only have a certain amount of time I can game now and it's frustrating to waste that little bit of time with super toxic and raging teammates. Does it happen in every game? No but it happened enough that I don't want to risk it.
It looks like they finally are working to fix that, however I transitioned over to a new game - Path of Exile. It's great, the only person I can blame for mistakes now is myself ๐.
