DOTAFire :: DotA 2 Builds & Guides for Hero Strategy

+Rep Report

Hey Guys,

I just had the worst game possible. My teammates were great except for one person. Here is the scenario: (i won't list the heroes like i normally do in my blog post because it is irrelevant)

It was the beginning of the match, we all picked our heroes. I paused the game because my team had one guy that didn't pick a hero yet. It took him about 2 minutes before he finally picked a hero. He chose . It was fine because we lacked a mid-lane hero. After he picked his hero, i noticed he wasn't moving until about 3 minute after the first wave of creeps spawned. Already, i was ticked off. However, this story gets better. He gave the enemy first blood and said he doesn't have energy for his computer. Everyone was like "WTF!!" He disconnect and never came back. To make matter worst, this was a ranked match. At first, I had hope for my team because we did really well in the early game, despite the stupid . As the match drags on, my team started to lose fights. I don't mind them because it was a 4v5 match since the beginning.

Who would queue up for a match knowing your computer is about to die and actually accept the match? Even now, i think about that dumb player who decided to queue up for a match with almost no battery on his computer. Sometime I wonder if that person was some stupid troll that just want to ruin the game for everyone.

I'm sorry for sounding so childish, but you can understand my frustration. I never had this kind of problem with dota before so I got really mad when i did. I did report but the damage is already done. Please leave a comment below about what you think about or a terrible experience you had that was similar to this.

Things aren't that bad on SA servers, Especially on ranked games, i cant recall any bad times like that in in RMM. I do remember that the russians(I speak broadly) were the guys who ended up making dota horrible, the game would start, and as soon as the famous horn sounds, the sod would abandon, just like that. Or they would sometimes just move their hero straight to the other teams ancient, i actually have that reply, if you guys would like to see it, let me know, I'll post the ID.

im from SEA (pakistani because best country ever you nubs) and it isnt THAT bad D: like sure you get some pinoys sometimes who suck but its not like ppl are pro on every other server, also i would say do what i do in solo ranked i just pick lone ranger heros such as clinkz, NP, and slark when my team seems meh, but when we have good communication and un ******ed ppl i pick normally :D

Going into SEA server is bad too, there are good pinoys but the bad trashtalking ones go like EZ GAME in the general chat when they win but in a losing team they would blame their team or say " I lagged ". *sigh 10 year olds

My first public dota match was a KOTL running to the enemy towers before the game even started and left immediately, almost made me never want to play dota.

Lol true but you are fully right. Dota is for fun, it's a team game. Those people simply doesn't care about others.
I'm sorry to say that rude and early leaving players are often Russians. I've nothing against Russians players (even if I know that there are many topics about this), but now when I see Cyrillic I tremble.
Be ZEN. Your peace of mind is more important.

Skystorm is right. I have friends that suffered the same thing as Dendi did. Although, i think it is a lot less in the higher MMR because people in high MMR tried to be in high MMR. It's not like they feed their way to high MMR. It wouldn't make sense for them to jeopardize their MMR unless they are trolls. The only other situation I can think of is that they put a low MMR with a high MMR.

Peppo got the right idea when he suggested getting friends and playing with them. Your games tend to be more solid and it makes you a better player. If you plan to solo queue, expect feeder, ragers, and trolls. Don't let them ruin the game for you. Rage comes with the game, but that shouldn't stop you from playing it like Peppo's friend. Dota is fun, so don't let people ruin it for others.

I sound like some motivational Dota speaker in the second paragraph, lol.

The solid truth is that this isn't limited to lower ranks. I read a comment on Reddit by Dendi, and he said even in his (high)MMR tier there are people who ruins games in similar ways.

Im aware of the regular feeders and ragers. I get only slightly angry at them because i know they come with the game. It's when people abandon right after hero pick that really pissed me off. I had comebacks with feeders and ragers, but starting a match with a disadvantage from the beginning is just infuriating.

Noobs invaded ranked ages ago, I guess you played ranked after a lot of time or playing it for the 1st time.
I have seen many feeders, quitters, ragers, compulsive feeders, and the worst of them all of them in a single package.
You have to just make your peace with it.

That's what you need to do! I find that bad games have a huge impact on my mood, like sometimes after a really horrible match I feel sad or angry until I go to sleep. The same applies to the good games, though: winning once or twice in the same day makes me feel so happy, that's the main reason why I haven't quitted Dota yet.

PS: a friend of mine actually quitted Dota because he kept getting angry at losses. He was pretty decent at playing the game, but he would just lose control after getting stomped by a team abusing 's or versus a random Hero with a stupid pick (like or ). The problem is that now we're even less in our fun team (which was composed by 4 players - including him - plus a random guy we found online), so I kinda abandoned team matchmaking.
I'm sure he will eventually come back to play. Well, maybe.

I do play with a group of guys that are pretty decent, but I was trying to bring up my solo rank. Anyway, i have to put this game behind me and move on.
