Just waiting for Troll Warlord to come into the beta. BoT, Satanic, and 4x Bashers biotches. Can't touch that.
Omg I hate this the most, when you are playing a mid hero with bottle and are trying to control your lane, and then your teammate just randomly takes a rune and wastes it (i have had people take runes and then go back to base, when I am carrying a fucking bottle). I even once played with a rikimaru who took an invisibility rune and then afterwards went like "shit.."
Ah yes, the Riki who is already level 6 taking the invis rune even though he sees SF running over to bottle it. Classic move.

The aspect of DOTA that causes agression is that you have 10 players in 1 game playing 10 different heroes. More often than not you have 10 players who all know how to play the 10 heroes and everyone is thinking that the other 9 people are doing it wrong.
When you lose a game of Starcraft it's because you mismanaged 200 food worth of units.
When you lose a game of dota it can easily be blamed on 4 other people.
One of the best ways that I've found to avoid grumpy players is to find some friends on TL :D
TLIHs are great too.

They rage and flame, and in doing so think they being part of the solution, when in reality they aren't even helping and possibly making things worse. For example :
Show nested quote +"TP TO THE FUCKING TOWER WHEN I'M GETTING FUCKING TOWER DIVED I MEAN IT'S SERIOUSLY LIKE 3 FREE KILLS OMG WHY ARE YOU MID QOP FARMING THAT LANE FOR 15 MINUTES....PLEASE GANKKKK!!! WHYYYYY MEEEEEEEEEEEE."
is hostile, rude to your teammates, and don't foster a cohesive team environment. No one is going to play better after hearing that, and they certainly won't want to. However, if you speak respectfully and with constructive criticism, your teammates will be more inclined to respond favorably. edit: maybe this isn't relevant to the topic, just wanted to vent my frustration at what I see as the main problem in pub games
Disagree actually, that example doesn't include any personal attacks nor insults. It's just someone emphasizing the point that his teammates missed an opportunity to get 3 free kills and should pay more attention next time. Because of the caps and "whyyyyyy meeeeeeeeee" at the end, it doesn't look exactly hostile neither; it looks sort of humorous. If I saw that, I would just say something like " oops sorry..." and expect "it's ok, just try to check your minimap more"
But yes your point I agree with ^^Last edit: 2012-05-14 14:27:14 |

| The skill level of DOTA2 players, at least in NA, EU is incredibly low. People don't know what to do and aren't willing to learn what to do. I guess since it's beta and there aren't stats people just don't care if they lose 9/10 games. The majority of my DOTA friends stuck with HON because they didn't want to give up their 1900 MMR -.- so I'm stuck fighting the good fight on my own. Finally gave up and uninstalled the game, will just wait till actual game release so I can play with some decent players... sigh |

Ok what most of the people are saying in this thread is a little misguided - so let me add something to it. I used to play DOTA intensely for a number of years (since 5.60b which is like 7 or 8 years ago now), and right when the first competitive league EVER was coming out for DOTA I was practicing with the team that was #1 on that league... so long ago I forget the name of the clan and the league though lol... I know it sounds bullshit if I don't remember either but that's the truth (what's up). A number of aussies may remember me from Bored Aussies (the aussie server that pretty much became all DOTA quite quickly lol) and from time to time I still get people messaging me on different games asking if I'm nebffa.
Anyway, when I played on BA and was at the top of my skill it was something like every 2nd game I went beyond godlike - the skill level was just like on Azeroth server (where TDA clan was where anyone who really wanted to play DOTA went). You might think oh the players you played were bad, well some were and some weren't - I was just very very good at the game - especially after practicing with the best players in the world with ~1 second delay, coming to Australia and suddenly having almost instant response to your clicks my results just went through the roof.
Anyway what's my point to all this? Basically - when I said something to my team they listened - it wasn't cause of the way I said it, it's because i had that 9-1 next to my name or whatever score it was and people knew that I knew what I was talking about. This is what most people are missing in this thread - noone likes to be told what to fuckin do by someone who clearly is getting pwned. It is just not the way we work - we don't listen to keyboard warriors who just say whatever, we listen to people who know what they're on about.
Anyway so that's my 2c on the matter and before some noob tries to come in and say "oh you are wrong because that is not what i learnt at my leadership training last week at the local milk bar (LOL i dont know what im saying)", sorry but you are the kind of noob i ate for breakfast when playing DOTA years ago
EDIT: btw i stumbled across this thread because i wasnt paying attention and thought i clicked on the diablo 3 forum but instead clicked on the dota 2 forum (lol both have a capital D and a number at the end) and thought oh well since im here might as well enjoy the stay  Last edit: 2012-05-17 08:50:18 |

In my experience even if you go 9-1 or whatever, there are people who will not listen to you. They will either ignore you, or continue to flame you for farming and KSing all game. They will blame you for their feeding because you left them to play 4v5 when in reality it is just because they keep doing stupid shit and getting themselves killed.
On the flip side you have noob Rikis who take all the kills (it's very easy for a Riki to rack up lots of kills because of blink strike + backstab) even though they're clearly horrible and then talk shit about their skill when they're building MoM Vlads Basher, and if you lose the game they will blame it all on the team "because i have so many kills LOLOLOL!!!"

this is actually not true - yes whilst there are some who do not listen and are just that way inclined, most actually do listen if you know what you are doing and what you are saying is directed at owning the shit out of the other team. i dont know if you reliably got the kill death ratios that i got, and i would likely say that you didnt because you have to be very good to consistently get those scores. if i am wrong i apologise but i dont think i am and it comes right back to my point that people dont like to be told what to do by people who they dont know and are only just as good as them. if i just put myself in their shoes i would be the same i would want these pub players to just fuck off and let me play how i want to play after a long day at work because i just want to relax and clear my head |

I put people that rage on mute and report them for text abuse. Honestly, there's a way to get a message across other than insulting someone for missing a hook/overextending/failing/whatever.

| Well dota is a team game designed to be played by a group as a team. Unfournately dota is really notorious for its "singleplayer" mindset. |
