Hey guys!

These last 3 games of DotA have really made me realise how sucky the DotA player base is and made me want a DotA 2 beta key even more. People leave, people are bad and people are so bad mannered. I think in DotA 2 people are better, because they get DotA, for DotA. In current dota, everyone who has WC3 TFT can play, and that is my theory for that DotA has one of the most sucky and noobish player bases (just my opinion). I used to play DotA-League, but as most of u know, it is closed so I must live with garena.
EDIT: I don't think all are noobs and such, but there are a great deal. There are also some of the most awesome ppl in DotA!

Soooooo.....does anyone have a DotA 2 key to spare, cuz I would love it so much! I know I sound desperate and like a loser, but DotA is indeed a big part of my life, and I used to play in clan and was pretty good, but then I had to try SC2 and now I am training DotA again. So if anyone has a DotA 2 key they can spare, please contact me here on TL. I would be so grateful for whoever gave me one.

Dota 2 is just as bad if not worse in player base, don't worry.

For some reason, I knew Kipsate would be the first to reply.

I don't have a key to spare, but you can try here.

LOL. DotA style games(DotA, DotA 2, HoN, LoL) are notorious for having the worst mannered players of all time. And it's true. Switching from DotA to DotA 2 isn't going to help you any, at least not long term. Right now, the ragers aren't playing the beta for the most part. As soon as DotA 2 is available to the general public, it will be just as bm. Just deal with it, and laugh.

The DotA 2 playerbase is absolutely horrible compared to either the HoN playerbase or the DotA 1 playerbase. It's an uncomfortably common occurrence that one lane in one team will get crushed and you'll see someone go "beyond godlike" by the 10 minute mark.

There simply aren't enough players yet for the matchmaking system to find close, even games, so you'll rarely see a game that doesn't have "that guy" who can't seem to do anything reliably except die within 30 seconds of respawning.

As far as BM / leaving goes, I haven't really had much of a problem in DotA 2 so far (except for people getting pissed at that guy who's 0-11 at the 9 minute mark, but that's usually justified).

I don't have a spare so sorry if this is slightly off topic. But so far dota2 is not as enjoyable for me (SEA) as you would believe. Every single game connects to a laggy server, it does not matter what i do it is always laggy.(Note: It is not just me). I think Valve does not car enough about the player base over here in beta. It will hopefully change soon though.
