I Hate HamSandwich

Although I agree you did some good things and did contribute here, people who are familiar with your bad behavior are going to hold you to it naturally. I'm glad you have apologized and are feeling regret with some of your bad behavior, (honestly I thought it was impossible) but best of luck from here on out.

I agree that the bad has a bigger lasting impression than the good.

You haven't done any real damage to your reputation imo, and minor damage to this site at best. Cleaning up your act would be easy.

If you were a notoriously cocky and trashy player like AMXZaku on the other hand, you'd be in trouble.

I agree with the points that both Leech and Dr.D have made. Whilst I can say I don't hate you as a person, when I look at the recent posts and find a whole bunch of "**** guide" "You must be stupid or something" I can't help but feel like you're trying to drive people away from this website and towards your partners at joinDOTA.

That may well be the opposite as you have said, you are trying to help you often just go about it in a way that camouflages that very well.

It is nice to see an apology and I would like to offer one of my own as well, I'll admit I have been rather hostile to any posts you've made that have rubbed me the wrong way. Hopefully the outcome of this thread is a positive one, as we have seen many times a lot of posts like these turn into seething piles of hate that just segregate the community even further.

Well to be honest I like your style HamSandwich. People should understand, that the reality isn't nice. **** guides will be **** guides. Damn battlefury night stalkers what the actual ****? Rapier desolator storm spirits what the fuuuuuck? Most of the guides here try to make people WORSE players.

Regardless of whether guides are to a standard that you agree upon or not. The way that you approach informing someone of a better way to do things should be used with more tact.

Reality may be harsh but it is not up to you to dish out reality checks and be blatantly rude and generally unhelpful responses. This website is a forum for expressing build ideas, if you do not agree with it. The aim is do express that in a constructive manner than can help maintain a good experience for both parties.

Don't get so butthurt when someone says that DOTA 2 has a steep learning curve, they mean the right thing, they just don't know better.
