I agree that they shouldn't mute the chat wheel at least.

Anyway as for the reporting discussion - I only report for excessive flaming or just making the game "unfun".

I think it's really good to try to play games (any games) in a relaxed mindset (you eventually get used to it and you rage at less things, things become more fun, etc).

Besides that, I never really take wins or loses seriously in Dota because:

1. Since I'm playing mostly in pubs, so I just play mostly for fun (or course I try to win).

2. The most fun I've had in Dota was just being with reasonable and friendly team mates (mostly in WC3 Dota... mainly because at the time, most people didn't really know what to do and most people seemed to play more to have fun than win + it also helps there was no "MMR" to worry about in at least battle.net WC3).

In terms of reporting bad players - everyone has bad games in Dota. Some of the flaming is really ridiculous and a lot of the times uninformed (rage fest most of the time).

As for people doing bad because they're uninformed? Well inform them and try to help them out (maybe they had like 100 games in a row where everyone flamed them instead of telling them you should go this lane with <x> hero for example).

One way to make the community and experience overall better IMO is for people to rage less about everything. You have to accept that since you're playing a team game, public with randoms, that things like this will eventually happen. If people are really mad at team mates all the time, I wonder if people can ask for some sort of 1v1 mode (like mid only, or maybe you control 2-3 heroes at once). (Of course, in 1v1 settings, I wouldn't be surprised at the opponent going *"Really?" or "I totally out played you, I can't believe I lost" like all the time in SC2 ladder.)

*Someone actually said that to Artosis while he was streaming (on the NA ladder that is, since Korean ladder seemed to be down for him at the time). (Artosis blocked the opponent's natural and third with a pylon. Oh noes, that is totally never happens before and it's cheap and imbalanced and means the player doing it to you is worse than you!)

That's way I never really care too much about winning or losing in team games (I try to win of course, but it's silly to rage at things in pubs if things don't go your way). Instead of raging at someone for doing something wrong, just tell them politely what to do (most of the time, unless they're someone who rages in the first place, they'll listen).

A general question, a friend of mine just asked, that has any HoN team transitioned recently to Dota2, since he heard HoN pro scene is dying for good (not that it was big to begin with). So are there new players/teams who transitioned recently?

Well, 'recently' is pretty debatable regarding Fnatic, but they are definitely the highest tier team from HoN. There's quite a few individual players around in some T1/T2 teams.

Jerax for example on Qpad has only recently transferred to Dota2.

In CM? Yup.

Also i hope they change this chat system soon. I enjoy being able to trash talk in games , it makes it so much more fun.

As soon as someone whines in All Chat on the other team you can just talk smack to them all game.

For example an omni said stop "sucking his dick" after we ganked him a few times in a row and I just went with it and had some fun :D. I'm scared to all chat now .

Would be cool if there was an ignore function that automutes everyone from specific regions.
