Umm in DotA, there are:

Maelk
BabyKnight
NS (when he isn't drinking)
Fear
Demon
Ducky
etc.

There are respected players in the scene, it's just that the bm people like Misery, Kebap, PGG gets more attention.

lol I just listened to insane_rabbi's rant. It's pretty on the money.

In SC the manner thing came from Korea blah blah and the majority of players were mature and a little older due to the age of the game. New blood or younger kids who started to play SC would see this "manner" phenomenon and even if they were bad mannered little dipshits on East they'd still confine themselves to being vaguely polite and well mannered during at least competitive or casted games.

On the other hand there is no older, more mature, and respected group of competitive players in HON/DOTA it seems to me. SC was a large community but an insular one. HON is not. New kids who play are greeted by extreme bad manners and so that's what they turn to. There's no Korean pros to emulate, no Mondragon's with their super polite never ever BM mannerisms, etc.

Imagine if Idra were a HON player and not a SC/SC2 player. The rage would be astronomical. What contains him is public expectation. Even people who were slobbering slavering dribbling driveling drooling absolute cocksuckers on East come onto TL and curb everything because they know there's gonna be consequences for it. I'm not talking about the posting that got me banned in the past -- for those who know me -- but rather the way people talked on East. HON celebrates BM, and for that it will never be able to be televised nationally like SC in Korea, at least in the West. In Asian countries this kind of attitude for the most part either repressed or oppressed.

It also will never change as long as sponsors don't enforce public appearance rules for players who carry their names, and why would they? The competitive scene is tiny and hardly worth sponsoring anyways. If a Korean progamer were to act the way HON "progamers" (it is a misnomer and a joke to use this term for them) there would be severe consequences from their sponsors/coaches/whatever. As long as the main players for HON are egotistical, mostly high school/barely in college children, then there will never be a "real" scene. Korean SC pros include many high school students but there is an established etiquette so that doesn't matter.

Just my take on the situation.

I am personally trying to make HoN better atm through example and through talking to S2 about possible changes. (To tell them to become more like teamliquid and take many elements from this site, such as not tolerating 99% of the shit they do on their forums). I don't know if they are listening or not, but it would be nice if they did and would improve everyone's image of the hon community.

Empath is fucking cool. Not going to lie. She's easy to play, I love the Wall ability and that speed thing is badass!

Wow, I thought the CS community was shit and I knew that DotA/HoN/LoL's wasn't any better, but people getting beat up/hospitalized is another story.
