So guys,i decided to stop playing dota for a while,just because how toxic people are in dota.Today after my last game where we been rekt by PA and NONE of my team got any disable/ghost/blademail/halberd but blamed me for everything.Then i realised that i loose more nerves then i get fun from game,and feeling pissed off after a match isnt really what game should give you.But the problem is,i love dota,i've been playing it since i was 18 i think,so im asking any opinions what i should do,how to deal with *******s ? Or just leave dota for few months and relax?

Just mute them, if they start to flame hit mute. However if you feel frustrated simply playing the game then take a break from Dota and do something else. Come back later when you're less frustrated.

If you cant beat 'em , join'em.

Try trolling yourself.
Try feeding the courier.
Buy yourself a forcestaff
take all wards and give'em to the enemy.
Deny the aegis.
Deny your throne(if you can)
Play oracle and make your team's life miserable.

You can have fun that way, well you do get reported but its fun!

But only do this if you see 4 flamers in your team. Otherwise give'em a chance.
Go On, Feed Me.

It is a bit of a problem, Haloon. I mean, why play if you aren't having fun? Because we love it!
It's meant to be a game but many players take it way too seriously or maybe they think that because they are safe behind their screens they will say or do things that are out of character. Either way, I hope to give you some tips that would hopefully help;
1) Pray to the DotA Gods.
2) Maybe play fewer games? This is tough considering the more XP the better but I will normally play 1 game first thing in the morning. If I win, I am happy for the rest of the day after one GG. If I lose, I might have another to try for that Win. If I lose 2 in a row, I stop there or else the slide into losing streak territory begins.
3) Trolling sounds fun but my final tip is to BE POSITIVE! When my team is feeding, I spam "Don't Give Up". If they do something good that I notice, I comment with a quick NJ, GJ, or WP. Try to be encouraging and don't fall for the flames of toxic people.

I play trash tier and I have dealt with it a bit and it did used to get to me. Luckily, my recent teammates have been nice and I have also changed my attitude. We all want to win and people can take winning seriously but it's not the winning or losing that's important, it's being a better player and person than we were the day before.

GLHF. May all your games be Good ones!

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1330502319 Thats the game wich pissed me off.I've played sniper,and they left me solo safe line vs weaver and techies.Invoker got rekt mid by Silencer.No wonders i had **** farm trying to avoid mines and weaver.Then PA started to roll out,and flaming begun - report sniper no farm,report sniper no survival items bla bla bla,most of them coming from Sky who bought bloodstone late game.Yea,i played bad,but i cant stop farmed pa with underfarmed sniper.
@Timm - i got no friends playing Dota.Everyone is on LoL,Smite,HOTS or WoW,so im all alone.

Team games aren't much fun when you get grouped up with arseholes...and most gamers are arseholes. The best thing to do is find people who are actually fun to play with and add them. Not sure what servers you play on, but there should be at least a few people from the same server region around here you'd enjoy playing with.
