Milky Moor posted:Valve's history of treating DOTA 2 like a money pinata is catching up to them. HotS might suck but it feels like Blizzard wants you to play it. DOTA2 feels like Valve wants to shake you down. Like you say, Valve doesn't particularly care. It's this imo Dota 2 is an advertising platform to sell you hats and cosmetics made up of half a million particles with a 45 minute shitshow attached.

Kawabata posted:I completely disagree with what JollyPubJerk is saying and before the comeback mechanics were in place you'd lose games almost instantly against certain lineups, only to be doomed to forever waste the following 20 to 30 minutes of your life. A game being compromised before minute 8 because someone made some lovely lane choices is/was not stellar game design in spite of what some You're just wrong. First, the game is decided just as much on picks today as it ever has been. If you don't have a good lane situation you get outleveld by 5-6 levels, no exaggeration, before the first typical rotation if they already weren't. As long as the other team isn't retarded, you're hosed. Though picks really don't matter compared to teamwork; teamwork is not always a given. Second, in over 10k games I have maybe 3 ragequits ever, and they were all blackout drunk scenarios I needed recordings to remember. Not a bad ratio. They used to display the ratios, but those are gone now. You keep making up poo poo that simply isn't true. Also, someone like me with that kind of experience knows a whole hell of a lot more about how to win games than the retarded hero spamming 6mo old players who are literally 4k lower MMR in any other role. It requires teamwork, however, and when you have rage emo spammers who think every game is over when they don't get their one trick, and they know they can just hit a button and hope nobody hard counters their one trick the next game, you will NEVER have them stick around to play, or even open up their mind to trying out new things in a losing scenario and seeing if it works. It's absurd there's so many spoiled bitches in the Americas. This isn't a problem in the asian regions and less so in Europe as long as you avoid Brits and Dutch. I have multiple thousands of games in those regions, I ain't just clinging to some stereotype. If I remember correctly, I only saw one person feed a courier in over a thousand games in China, and he typed in English in chat so I'm pretty sure he wasn't native. I can't go 10 games without seeing that on my own team now. Also, when you're in F behavior, trust me, I don't need words at all to piss off the baby manchildren to start feeding couriers and running down lanes. I can simply play a normal game, or finish a creep the lowskill shits I'm stuck with now missed, and they just run into the tower and give-up. So, I'm really not loving concerned about these deprived for attention egos, and Valve's system doesn't actually give a gently caress about making better games and is a complete lie. I have my chat unbinded in half of my games. It doesn't matter. Though at the same time, these retards usually are a few skill levels above the bracket and if they ever do decide to play the game, after being down a whole hell of a lot, can totally embarrass the team who wasn't raging their way through the laning phase. But you probably can't tell the difference between someone raging because your stupid pub rear end isn't actually contributing to the game and this is a team game that unfortunately requires 5 people coordinated now more than ever, from someone raging because they need attention their parents didn't give them and they have all the time in the world so they will just watch their anime poo poo and afk jungle until the next game that they have zero intention on becoming a better player in.

abandoning is good, as it grants you exclusive access to the thunderdome matchmaking pool against either known scumbags or other members of the enlightened few. it's like conceding except it doesn't mercifully free the rest of your team from the shackles of a lost rear end game of dota two

Honestly, the fact that you can get away with an abandon every so often makes the requirement of a virgin sacrifice to end a game early all the sillier to me. It basically means that instead of having a concede vote every player has an End Game No Matter How Everyone Else Feels option every month or two. Also, while we're heaping complaints on dotes, a really cool positive-incentive LoL has for not being a dick is that you get a free skin (no need to do any crafting stuff, 100% free) if you go a year without being punished. It doesn't bite into their profits and is a nice extra bit of goodwill. Allah knows the dotes community could use whatever incentives for acting like a normal human being that work.

Anyway, in case you forgot, here's you playing, rage dc'ing and incessantly yelling stuff to other players in the least constructive way possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iZ-aQjbrPY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOMs2t8eOMw Oh and it looks like 2 of your "3 ragequits in over 10k games" are somehow in those 4 mins video, what an incredible unexpected coincidence

I enjoy playing Dota 2 right now, other than the cosmetics system and maybe some (heavily regulated) concede option for the worst matches, I think it's the most interesting it's ever been. I'm having fun at around 4.5k, hopefully I'll get back to my old 5k mediocrity, maybe improve some more if I have the time. - Kawabata, 05-12-2017

Uh, so, I’ve played about a hundred games now, and I’m looking to expand my hero selection a bit. I’ve been playing a lot of Axe and Sniper with a little bit of Abaddon. Any suggestions that will help me avoid not having a good pick available? (Axe and Sniper are both banned often.) I’m thinking about picking up Vengeful Spirit, who I understand is supposed to be pretty straightforward.

Spirit Breaker is also ok for new players, along with Wraith King and to an extent Lifestealer (though these 2 are usually only played as carry). You can try Omniknight as well, it needs a little bit of practice but he's a very powerful hero right now and by no means a complex one to pilot. Venge is also pretty straightforward and the farm on her isn't useless in case you find yourself in one of those games where the carry player is, well,
