Why many Dota 2 players try to report you? (no giveaway inside)

find some friends to play with, if you really want I can play some co-op bot matches with you, although i've been trying to play less dota 2 lately

personally I've never had that happen to me in dota 2, but I carried a lot of the mechanical skills over from playing SC2 and spent a lot of time in bot matches learning how to play mobas/chars. also i generally encourage people to report people who say to report new players, since that's not what the report feature is for

play vs bots

Ignore them, if you get banned for not being good enough its a pretty good sign that its a shitty game.

I can help you improve your skill by at least a small bit. I after all got experience in both LoL and DOTA 2.

This is a curse of Dota community, not from our country.

from my experience, most brasilians on online games are dumbs; easily in the first position of the most dumb peoples in the world

and you can't be banned for playing bad, even if I find Dota 2 is so easy to learn (took me only one game or two to get used to it, even tough I'm not really good at it)

this why they call that game DOTA!u will be judge by every move u make!

Dota 2 community sucks. Find friends to play probably with experience to help teach you. Less chance of getting threatened and if they do threaten to report at least you have some backup to fall back on.

use the mute button , simple solution for me on try hards lol

Thats normal.. cause the most people there played the Dota mod in WC3.. and now they think they can report everyone for any shitty reason. You're right.. playing against other players is much more fun and another point is you will learn much more. If you get banned and you need a new acc.. ask me ^^ got enough keys...

I usually would report someone who is high level in his dota profile and is feeding crazy. If you are like level 1 to 5 and you feed, i would understand cause you are new to the game. Also, if i talk to someone and give him instructions, and he doesn't obey and dies too much, i also report that kind of people. I usually try to communicate at least in English and Spanish, to try and see if they understand me.

It's a curse of the game genre really :P In an arena when one person's actions can dramatically affect the effectiveness of an entire team, people tend to get pretty riled up if you don't play according to expectations, which creates this aggressive and unpleasant sort of culture.

That being said, playing with bots is in no way a substitute for regular play, and you can always mute excessive rude people. Also, valve acts on reports in a pretty fair manner, so don't expect to be banned just because a couple of randoms pull the "report" card.

I rarely report people...the only times I would consider doing so is if a player constantly trash talks his/her team. Whether one feeds or not, there is no need to insult them endlessly, it's not going to help the situation.

Do you play with other Brazilians generally, or do you play in English speaking servers?

The MOBAs communities are usually like that, Dota, LoL, HON and now Dota2. The nature of the this style of teamwork gameplay and how one mistake can cost the game, turn many of them into total raging asshats.

Well, if you are noob, you SHOULD go the way everyone asks. As for reporting, it's just plain stupid to report for being a noob or things like that, there isn't even an option to do that! And it's not like something awful will happen if you lose...

Fun is subjective. Some just want to play and compete and others only get satisfaction from winning.

This is the main reason I never started with Dota or Dota 2... :D Personally I feel that the community is too "must-win-to-have-any-fun" oriented..

Just add me as a friend we could play togheter if u want

Ignore them, they can't report you for low skill and if they start swearing just report them. Play and have fun, ignore idiots and listen to the guys that actually try to help you.

Not being funny or nothing but if you 'played for hours' in bot games then you shouldnt be dying so much in public matches anyway. I know public matches are harder due to player skill, but if you have as many hours in bot games as you say then you should at least be able to not get completely ROFL STOMPED.

Sure people might report you for a bad game, but if its happening every game then you must be playing real bad and therefore NEED the practice.

Unfortunately MOBAs are unlike any other genre of game. They are a competitive game, and players are expected to think that way.

I guess you just need to practice the Characters/Heroes/Champs some more in bot games and then play the ones you are comfortable with.

Note: This is MOBA specific not just DOTA (I'm a LOL player and seen it many times)

Unfortunately most people seem to think that MOBAS are ALL about kills, and this leads to feeding (even if not intentional)

But on a side note: definately try playing with friends that can help you better understand the fundamentals of the genre.

P.S: If anyone would like to teach me to DOTA i'd appreciate it (Got LOL experience but the DOTA mechanics and aggro screw me over)

I didn't ever put enough time into DOTA2 to be able to play properly but... aren't the matches "weighted" so newbies are put against other newbies? O_o

The majority of the people who report don't even use it properly. As long as you're not doing anything intentionally you'll be alright.

Unlike the Tiny who was on my team a couple days ago. Kept tossing me in the middle of a 5 man team push. Even the other team recognized that he was an asshole.

My biggest peeve about new-ish players though is they keep picking carries and farm nothing for the whole game. Please please please if you recognize/realize that you can't farm for your life, play a non-farm dependent support.

You haven't been on LOL then.They report you even for breathing the wrong way.

this is the MOBA mob-mindset (sorry if i offend anyone but it really has become the truth... that is why i stopped playing them)

assuming you are playing unranked then tell them to "F*ck Off"... the only way they listen is if you fight fire with fire quite literally... or if you have really good patience just ignore chat (and mute people if they use mic idk if DOTA 2 uses in-game mic or not as i said earlier i stopped playing DOTA roughly around LoL becoming popular).

if you are playing ranked then that may be the reason as most tend to be really serious over every single little thing in which case try unranked or if you really want to get them mad just purposefully feed the other team... ^.^

You really should play vs bots until you get ~25 hours in the game. I'd also recommend you find friends to play with rather than randoms.
