Air Skwirl posted:There's video of a live stream where a player gets banned. It's pretty delicious indeed. You can't see it unless you click through to the actual clips page, but even his chat was laughing their asses off at him. Amusing to see him write a diatribe about how unfair him getting banned is, despite his behavior deliberately making the game worse for new players. You could argue he was in fact doing a service to mankind by putting people off Dota, but it's still pretty funny.

From what I gather, you "smurf" by intentionally making your stats look bad, so that you can play lower-skilled players for money, and do like a surprise poolshark move on them to win money? gently caress those guys.

No it's just tanking your rating or making a new account so you can use your skill to basically solo carry and have a 99% win rate then you either make a new smurf or you re-tank the rating. You don't do this on main. There's no money

Admiral Joeslop posted:Dota 2 players are hideous toxic sludge Honestly, MOBAs in general seem designed to bring out the worst in people. Like, consider the game structure: a typical match is 30-60 minutes, you can't leave early, and it's usually clear who's winning well before they actually win. So in about half your games (if matchmaking is working right) you're going to spending a significant amount of time knowing you're going to lose and unable to do anything about it. That's frustrating in itself. Now consider the team structure. It's a 3-5 player team, which is a small enough number that even one player not pulling their weight can drag down the entire team. It's also small enough that you can usually have at least a vague idea of what's going on in the game as a whole rather than just your corner of it. That makes finding scapegoats for why your team isn't doing well a really inviting prospect! On top of that, the last-hit rule most MOBAs inherit from Warcraft 3 is a lovely way to engender intra-party conflict even if everything is going well, and the fact that it's all matchmade pickup games means you generally have no prior relationship with the players and will never see them again once the game is over, unlike server-based multiplayer where you tend to get to know the other server regulars over time.

Driving sucks because it requires cooperation between strangers who can only barely communicate with each other, and therefore playing MOBAs sucks even harder because it requires cooperation between strangers who can only barely communicate with each other, so that they may compete against other groups of strangers who can only barely communicate with each other

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Is it someone you'd recommend? I don't really follow twitch, but I play & watch a bunch of Starcraft 1&2. I've noticed that Tasteless, a famous Esports caster/commentator, streams his practice games and sometimes dips into other titles, like Vaolrant etc. He's very relaxed and cheerfully self-deprecating/humble, as is appropriate for his middling skill, and his moderately-sized follower base reflects that. (Regardless, I can't stand watching the stream, as it has the whole donation-spam thing which is intolerable.) Compare this to his decades-long commentating partner, Artosis, who is infamously stressed out on his own stream, being a caricature of petulance, gamer tantrums, and why it's not his fault he just lost, etc. Incidentally, his chat following absolutely loves it, egging him on, and he makes mad mad bank for pandering to them and their expectations. Streaming is so loving dumb. edit: Day[9] and Tasteless are siblings, clearly they had a healthy upbringing?

credburn posted:From what I gather, you "smurf" by intentionally making your stats look bad, so that you can play lower-skilled players for money, and do like a surprise poolshark move on them to win money? That or a brand new account. I get the feeling, honestly. Sometimes you want to just chill in a game instead of either tryharding yourself or dealing with other tryhards. I had a second Rainbow Six Siege account that I paid like $9 for that we used to gently caress around with. Doing weird strats, only using low tier operators or guns, just whatever. It's no fun to do that stuff at a reasonably high level because no one there wants to do anything but Play Hard. I also don't play video games for money so....

This is a video cut from their stream when he's explaining how his wife Evitel gave birth in like 10 seconds with very little warning and how she's fantastic at everything. It doesn't really have to do with game streaming it's just a great story and I like sharing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdhiTjmBeIY
