It took me over 2000 hours to realize that the occasional fun game wasn't worth all the rage-inducing shite you have to wade through to get them. I think DOTA is the only game to make me angry enough for it to affect my mood even after I stopped playing.

So uh, see you in a few thousand hours I guess.

Minorkos
Feb 20, 2010

i played the game a lot in like 2012 - 2015 and i'm already thousands of hours deep, 70 hours is just what it took me to understand how the game has changed in the past couple of years or so

dota actually doesn't really make me angry anymore. i'm way past that point. nowadays i get mad very rarely, and the game only affects my mood if i go on like a 10-game losing streak or something. the last game that has actually made me upset playing it is like overwatch or something

yeah i think overwatch is actually the most a multiplayer game has ever frustrated me

Minorkos
Feb 20, 2010

in overwatch, the individual player is almost powerless to change the outcome of the match, and it's difficult to figure out why you're actually losing matches since it's a 1st person shooter and you can't pay attention to what your teammates are doing. and blizzard is pushing the game as a competitive game

no wonder the game has such a problem with a perpetually upset community, it's an incredibly frustrating game to play if you're playing to win. i had the most fun when i could basically 1v6 matches as genji but then all the support mains bitched on reddit and they nerfed him

Losing a ton of games as Rubick is worth it for that one game where you do a ton of cool poo poo and murder people with Spellsteal, then lose the game because you're still the loving brick.

Calibration has been interesting so far. First game we were down like 3-15 but everyone stayed calm and we quickly bounced back to win. The second game was super even all the way until our ancient exploded, but no one bought wards or a courier, 2 people were screaming at each other, our monkey king was refusing to use skills, and other such joys.

I know the feeling, rubick is my favorite hero to play but i was stuck with a lower than 50% win rate no matter how hard I tried :negative:

eventually I just learned to pick enigma and gently caress off to the jungle so someone else can be the poor support bastard instead

My peak MMR was 5k and my typical MMR was around 4k, I ended the previous season around 3.8k due to massive tilting. I've lost all 3 of my qualifier games so far.

looking forward to recalibrating at whatever the equivilent to 2k is. :toot:

Real talk Dota destroys IRL friendships if you try to have a normal game instead of just having some kicks. A good friend of mine wanted me to play dota (I even dodged a Henron invite because of it) and he proceeded to 'support' me by picking pit lord, autoattacking creeps AND using firestorm on creeps (later he stated that it was his intention to hit heroes).

Oh, you're friends with Wangsbig IRL?
