Okay, there are those words you hear all they time in Dota, some are super annoying and should be used a lot less than they are:

Killsteal: I get this every match where I happen to get the killing blow to an enemy. Killsteal is used so often when it shouldn't be. Killsteal is when someone purposely gets the last hit on the enemy. This would be if they stood around and didn't help, and then only attacked so they can get the kill. You aren't killstealing if you are constantly helping fight an enemy, but you happen to get the last hit. This is not killstealing.

Feeding: This one also annoys me. Often times people are new to the game/hero and they get reported for feeding. Feeding is when you are to run into an enemy and let them kill you without fighting back. You aren't feeding if you try to escape or fight. People always blame people for feeding when die repeatedly. Before you blame them for feeding, watch them in lane for a minute or two. If they are genuinely trying to fight or run, they are not feeding. Sure, nobody likes a teammate that dies all the time, but don't report them for being bad at the game. It's not fair for them.

These are the most common ones I hear, there are probably more but I just wanted to point out these. I expect you encountered most of these terms so tell me about it. If you think I've got something wrong here!

Here's some.

Noob hero: When people pick a hero that new people oft play ( Bloodseeker, Riki, Drow Ranger) most other players instantly judge you for it. They never stop to consider if you had a REASON for picking that hero, like you pick Bloodseeker vs a group of 3 very clunky supports that have few escapes, or Drow Ranger because your team lacks a ranged hero or a glass cannon. I will admit I can't think of an excuse for riki, but they might just have felt like playing him.

Report: Yeah...Just...Yeah. A good example is when playing Pudge. You miss your first hook because the enemy was honestly very aware and juked it, or because of unforeseen circumstances (Looking at you, QoP BLINKING IN FRONT OF MY HOOK), you INSTANTLY get that one teammate saying "Omg noob pudge can't even hook. Report"

Yeah, those two as well, especially report. Sometimes people report each other just because they can't speak English.

I hate term 'jungle'. Woods (forest) aren't even looking like fokkin jungle, stop using this sad league of legend term.
"When game is going full ******, you can only go with it. If you start going against it, if you start going half ******, you´re ****ing done for. When Aloha decides to go middle rubick you let him, and you start buying orb of venom on invoker. That's how dota works" -n0tail

Riki is actually a strong hero, and he counters most supports and many glass cannon carries ( Drow Ranger, Clinkz, and especially Anti-Mage). But in low level pubs he is only considered a noob hero because nobody buys detection :3.

I disagree. The Dire side looks like a jungle/bog thing. Radiant is a forest, but half the map does have jungle-like qualities. Plus, jingling sounds way cooler than woodsing or foresting.

The therm noob hero actually makes sense. If i see a drow ranger or sniper getting picked on my team i will judge them earlier. If i end up supporting them in a dual lane,( which is the case in more then 90% of the cases becouse no one pickes those heroes at the level where trilanes are standard) i will abandon them if they die once from bad play.
I will start roaming or joining the other lane becouse it is not worth my time to support a mediocre player on a very mediocre hero.

The biggest problem is that people cant use words with their proper meaning anymore.
For instance when i was a wee dota 2 player who just started, i obviously had some bad games. So when some idiot called me a noob for having a bad game, i just told him: yes ofcourse i am a noob you idiot, i havent even played 200 games yet and this game is ****ing hard. Actually everyone in this game is a noob apart from the smurfs.

Noob is often used a a curse word instead of what it actually means.


Just a sidenote i love playing riki becouse of his mobility, and he is pretty strong against heroes like anti mage and ember. The mistake people make is that they dont farm with him, while i finish tge game with 200 lasthits.

I just read my own post again and couldn't stop laughing for 15 minutes. Note the usage of the word "jingling," not "jungling." :)
