I have no problem with people learning the game (like i still do every time since in only played 200 games or so)
but
I dont like it when people who just started their first games, have no idea what the spells of the different heroes are, and only know half the item database, yell from start that they want mid, most of the time taking a pudge and then fail every hook (I know that hooks require skill) but thats the whole point, learn first as support or vs bots and then try to carry your team to victory...
And reading guides and watching replays helps alot to!
And ofcourse we all make mistakes, try to fix them afterwards is what helps, not flaming!
People always do stuff like that. They think they are better because they own by pure luck once or twice. I have seen in my previous DotA 1 clan, where this new guy comes in, play 3 games and won 2 because his allies are the one doing stuff. At his forth game, he started thinking he is god and demands the mid lane or he will just stay at base.
Because it was a friendly match between 2 clans, we decided to let him do it. Of coz, he failed miserably and started blaming us.
New players (some, not all) have this mindset where they think because someone can do it, they can too. It's like watching Russians playing Pudge because Dendi can do it. What they miss out is these people all practiced before. Not once or twice at that, most likely half a year or so.
When we watch our mates do mistakes, flaming is not an option. By flaming, we create annoyance which both side will learn nothing. If you advice them, they might listen. If they don't let someone else do the flaming. Us? We just sit back and watch them argue like a boss.
Actually, you shouldn't really "ignore" them. Have you ever seen someone calling someone a noob without saying the reason for it? This only happens rarely, so, when someone calls you a noob, you usually have to listen to him, but still don't be depressed by being called a noob, it's really not a shame.
I really prefer that anyone who wants to learn the game should start by playing with real friends, who care for you, and will never try to tease you by flaming, wether winning or losing.
Yeah, actually I HAVE gotten people who call you "noob" without even stating how or why you are so. I've also gotten people who spam up "report (hero you're playing)". Eventually it gets really annoying, but what I meant is don't be bothered by it, if they decide to bash you just keep going instead of sitting around responding negatively and getting into an internet argument over what's "nooby" and what isn't.
