Why would people take so serious on this game? its just a damn game...i told my friend i was lagging hard i couldnt do anything and he called me retarded and removed me as a friend..very nice...i blocked him i dont really care. he wasnt my friend anyway it was online friends..why do people take a game so serious especially when its free to play games?

mostly because unlike other MP games.. one bad player can give the game to the other team.. If you feed the other team bad then even if your team is entirely filled with pro players it can be quite difficult to fight back..
Also If you are still a noob you should play with bots first.. Read guides. learn how to play.. Dota 2 is not a game you can learn to play just by playing imo..

The nature of the MOBA genre brings out the worst in people. You're stuck in a ~40 minute game with 4 strangers as teammates, which makes their expectations very high. Because it's a team game, any perceived mistake is taken very seriously because it can affect the result of the entire game.

It has nothing to do with whether it's free to play or Pay to play. Look at HoN, it was Pay to play for a while, and it's community is the worst out of all the MOBA games.

Usually me and my friends flame each other hard when playing games together, but this is how men connect, we fight and then we are best buds, opposite to women who pretend to be nice to each other then talk behind each other backs. So you're either very sensible man or a woman. But I feel the pain of that guy. I once invited an "online friend" to a CS:GO Competitive game, he even said he was good, only to tell us after the first two rounds that he has to leave and left us in 4 people and a bot, obviously on the losing side.

Well let me explain my point: Russians, Brazilians = retarded, except that the Russians are most of the time good players but they never ever try to communicate. Brazilians are just bad and they would never say anything useful. French, Canadians = QQers, how so? French tend to "think" they are the best players, so for whatever mistake or thing that happens, they will start calling you names and reporting you etc...Canadians = they will QQ to death and insta-leave, says enough. Americans are: Spammers, Rage-quitters, and most of all language abusers and that is just lame. What I am saying is that most of the Moba players are like this, not all of them ofc, and I am in no case insulting a nation or generalizing, but just stating my personal experience with the moba communities (mainly League of Legends(NA, EU) and Dota1 (garena, battle.net) and Dota2.

I love when I'm playing Dota 2 and people get pissed off when the opposite team has no chance of coming back and they don't just go lay down and wait in the fountain, it's like the entire point of the game is to win and there is no fun to be had unless you win. lol

the bad thing is that it's really annoying when you are just wasting time because you know that you have lost and your teammates are still defending because they could kill one enemie.
So you have to wait 20 mins until you are able to start a new game.
But you are right the balanced games are most fun even if you loose. Love the feeling when you win a/the deciding fight or both teams are attacking the core and you win or loose because your team was minimal faster / lower :D

^ Bingo. Too serious. Players are sometimes too overcompetitive about a game (in the LoL subforum, where they look for players, pretty much every single post is about seeking "serious, competitive players", almost never one about playing just to have fun). Gaming is supposed to be fun and not a vehicle to put others down, because you are superior or have a desperate need to win at just a game.

Some in this thread do say that because they spend so much time in it, they want to win, but I find that a unacceptable excuse for some of the behavior I have seen in LoL. And almost none of it was aimed at me. Players can get flack when the match is just starting and when they might not have even killed a single minion.

KF can take up 30 min., but noone ever complains about the amount of kills or deaths someone experiences or what class they play. Not a player who tells them to go practise on offline mode, or something. Even on HoE or Suicidal I have not seen the same level of behavior as I have seen in MOBA's.

Feeders and losing, not great, but nothing to get all upset and raging about. It happens. And feeders probably don't mean to feed most of the time and are just trying their best or have a bad day, who knows. And though it can be annoying sometimes, it is juuuuust a game.

Good attitude :) People should stress less about their K/D/A ratio and whether their performance please the elite players. However, it is the MOBA mentality as a whole, to start a game and stress out and get control freak about how others play their game ^^ That's why I stopped playing it, because I did not enjoy it when people started to power trip (I can deal with people leaving or wanting to give up early, but not people being all high and mighty).

I think you're best of finding ten or more players who are relaxed about it, even if they lose or someone is not playing well.

I like to win but I think between a completely one-sided match where my team is crushing the opponents easily and a match where the teams are very evenly matched, I'd take the latter. Sure, the first might be a sure win but the second really brings out what makes the game fun: matching your team's skill versus the other team's skill. I love long matches in which the outcome wasn't sure at any point and it takes real team work on my team's part to win. Even if we lose that game I think having to truly collaborate with your team to make your best effort is what makes it fun.

But then again I might be biased because I play 5 man pre-made all the time with my friends.

It's because a DotA game takes about 1 hour, and if you're noob,leaver or lagging it makes your team lose.So, some people think that you "steal" 1 hour of their lives for being noob,leaver or lagging.Of course I'm not agreed with them, but I can understand them.

P.S. I hate Russians in DotA 2.I really do, not because they're noob or something.Its because they can't speak English and still join English games.I don't understand them at all ...

I play to win and Dota is a team game, if you are just some noobs that feed all the time, then there is no way your team can win. So, do yourself a favor and take your time to play with bots for a month or few weeks if you are a fast learner. Otherwise, stick with LoL and never look back to Dota.

You do realize gaming is supposed to be fun, not meant to be taken that serious and get highstrung about? Sure, you wouldn't be happy if you lose, but it is just a game. You can't expect people to do as you please even if you probably are better at a game. Still, lighten up? ;)

Well, most of these is only your opinion. Just because it is a game doesn't mean it is not meant to be taken serious. Dota 2 is highly competitive game, many peoples are playing in competitive level. Imagine someone keep ruining your CS session by flashbanging in a gunfight.

Serious competitive gaming is something else. The OP was talking about just casual gaming, not tournaments, no professional gaming, etc.

So imo, players should not become jerks (they tend to skip politeness completely and go full on nasty) in normal, random matches. If they want to get very serious and plan to scrutinize their whole team, they are better off playing with people they know have the same mindset and make it a private match.

Also, if someone flashbangs constantly in the midst of a fight in CS, that is just trolling. That is on purpose. Someone feeding the other team, is almost always simply doing badly, while trying to do their best. No trolling and not on purpose. So there is a difference.

OP has 350 hours clocked on Dota 2. He is at least on high tier/very high tier matchmaking level where mistake cost your team the game and that is definitely not a casual level. That being said, died != feeding on Dota. Support dies all the time, but died without doing anything because lagging isn't an excuse.

Don't play if you have bad connection, even Valve doesn't care if you disconnected because of lagging and didn't return in 5 mins, you get an abandon which put you on low tier priority.

And about that flashbang troll, you clearly never see a beginner get panic in a gunfight.

That rage is justified in several cases:

  • When you meet Russians and Polish guys who doesn't speak English

  • When you meet Russians and Polish guys who feed and they are blaming others for their failure

  • When you meet Russians and Polish guys who doesn't speak English and feed when they are blaming others for their failure

  • When you meet other fellows who doesn't speak English

  • When you meet other fellows who feed and blaming other for their failure

  • When you meet other non-English speakers who feed and blaming other for their failure

  • When the game is paused for more than 10 minutes

  • When the game is paused for more than 10 minutes and when you need to listen non-english speakers and read theyr messages during pause

  • When you suck

  • When others tell you that you suck

  • When they are right when they tell you that you are suck.

  • When you lost 100% won game (ex. Your fellow is rich and he buys 3 Divine rapiers, but he dies and enemy got Divine. This is just example)

  • When 100% won game is lost because you.

  • When somebody offers you 1 key for Drodo the Duffin

  • When somebody begs you to sell him Drodo the Duffin for 1 key.

Here. Are you happy now?

he is not marked, beacuse Invoker isn't support! Support is supposed to get just a minimum of farm and levels. They buy wards, dusts, gems, meks and and stack creep camps. You obviosly don't want to do this with Invoker, Zeus or sniper. Many people (mostly Russians) don't even do this, if they tell you that they play support; they love to farm an "early" 40-minute Radiance. Invoker needs levels for his spells and Zeus needs a huge manapool, so I wouldn't play them as support. :)
