I do acknowledge the fact that I get angry at people frequently. It's not like I'm denying it. The difference between the people I yell at and the people I don't yell at is the ability to listen. That's all I ask for. I expect people to come toward the point I ping at the instant i do so. When I call people 'useless,' it's because they were essentially useless that game in not helping each other out and responding to pings. If you were there and actually listened to the team, I don't think I've ever berated you.

City is cool, and any 'noob' comments toward him (or in general) are in jest, if you haven't noticed. He's just my cute scapegoat when shit goes wrong and he has a shitty pick.

And outperforming? That usually happens if I'm running around the whole game trying to organize ganks while everyone else farms. And I'm not going to farm all game to try to win -- my hero picks don't suit that style that well.

I think working and moving together as a team is a hell of a lot more fun than farming all game by yourself, and I try to make the team work toward that way, but people just don't fucking listen.

ryugie its only a fucking game, when you play starcraft pub 2v2 and suck terribly because you dont know what to do, would you like it if everyone you've ever played with told you you're useless and you should leave the game? What if you decided to try out the Europe gosu rooms and was the worst person by far and everyone ripped on you until you cried? In all forms of multi-player competitive gaming, or anything that you have to play as a team that you're better than another at, it's usually a good idea to not take it so seriously that you actually got angry over a noob, I get berated all the time for being terrible but not even the fucking siberian pubbies who are bm fuckers take it so seriously like you and types an insult every 5 seconds. When I played with you you were literally typing, "Nemesis you should just leave the game", "Nemesis you're completely useless", over and over and fucking over again and it was fucking annoying for me too who did nothing all game cuz that guy wasn't even responding and you still kept on insulting him.

If people who are 1000x better than you like Heen for example don't mind me on his team then why should you actually get angry like a bitch over someone who's probably 100x better than me? Most importantly, why do you care so much? You're not playing for money, you're not even playing pubbie you're playing in-house dota for FUN. After all it's you who made this thread.


1. In 2v2 SC, having a partner is beneficial no matter what, so shitty analogy.
2. I don't take shit online so personally, so it doesn't affect me.
3. Did you even read what I fucking wrote?
4. Can you stop making shit up and exaggerating your claims?
5. Yeah, I made this thread to have fun IH games, but people just do their own fucking shit in a TEAM GAME, making the entire game not so fun anymore. I was hoping people from the same forum would be more responsive and listen to what other teammates would want, but apparently not in some cases. BTW, did you even read what I fucking wrote?
6. Thanks for basing your entire view of me on one incident.


1. no its not lol, people can do nothing all game but turtle in base similar to heroes who do nothing but farm and dont help out their allies
2. well you certainly sound like you do so it doesnt matter if you really do or not
3. yes i fucking did thats why i responded
4. LOL im not exaggerating that was exactly what happened, you were yelling at razor/nemesis guy all game and i even said: "don't be mean" and you said some bitch shit like, "im just telling the truth, the truth hurts"
5. If you think people always have to be good to have fun then you're a bitch like i said, when I started I didn't know what ganking and farming was, I still don't to be honest, from a complete noobies' perspective I can't even identify the heroes on the screen most of the time like rikimaru that small fucker always killing me, so when people yell at me all I can say is, sorry im noob, unless you tell me specifically, don't leave your allies like that, or don't farm while their heroes are pushing. Otherwise you're not actually helping the people who are bad and just berating them like you're an angry fucker.
6. I've played like 3-4 games with you you've been the same in every game, I think 3 in-house games and one game with me you and locked.

Just don't care so much, take a chill pill, if you know you berate people and we're saying don't do it because it's not worth it then just don't do it. No matter how bad your allies are. I don't think anyone in this thread is as bad as me, so I think I speak for every noob when I say, I enjoy dota a lot, espcially learning it and I would hope people are patient with me and teach me stuff rather than yelling. It's fun playing with TLers and with pubbies and I hope others feel the same no matter how bad I am.

I agree, I'm still pretty new to DotA, and I speak for probably a good chunk of TLers when I say that playing horrendous is already frustrating to begin with. I remember a week or so ago when I played Rhasta for the first time, and was completely flipping out during the game, hitting the wrong hotkey (wrong hotkey = wrong skill), making really bad moves because I wasn't able to just "play" rather than think through everything, I think I ended up like 0-15, even had this wonderful 0.1 second Entangle on Testie that caused Heen to go OMFGWTFBBQ, just completely overwhelmed by it, and Zelniq being frustrated didn't help. But I went to Zelniq after the game and apologized, and he didn't seem to mind, and that really, really helped me feel a bit better about it (still shoddy game but eh). I mean, I probably single-handedly wrecked that game in every way imaginable, and I knew it, but being able to sit in a corner and be sad without having four people scream at me about something I already know and feel bad about was, uhhh, comforting, for lack of a better word at the moment.

no man I can't read I was just responding for shits and giggles, what's your big point that I can't comprehend, that you're a bitch and think you're superior to noobs cuz you've played the game longer? I don't see any other points youre making

I'm pretty sure I wasn't this retarded when starting DotA because not many people shouted at me (given the notorious number of DotA players who shit on others for no reason at all).


LOL ok man let's play some starcraft and I'll just contain you all game while rushing to broodlings at the same time I will tell you how much of a noobtard you are who sucks at the game and is retarded and don't listen. I didn't know that I had to be as smart as you to play DotA with you, you're so fucking talented man please yell at me more so I can bathe in your greatness.

The main reason there is so much... conflict in DotA is because it is more knowledge/timing based than most other games. Take Counter-strike and Starcraft for example. Those require solid mechanics/micro for you to excel in whereas DotA mechanics are easier to perform. It's more timing oriented than fast hands and accuracy. That explains why you see less bitching in those games. Because someone simply can't have mechanics when it matters. On the other hand, it is frustrating to see someone not silencing at a critical moment because all that is required to do is knowing when, not how. Simple things like carrying a TP scroll are easily learnable, no?

There are more reasons for why DotA newbs take more heat such as bad teammates being harmful to you but I won't go there.

That said, of course we should tolerate newbs in DotA. It takes time to get familiar with all the heroes, items, and skills. For me, DotA was easy to learn because I had a warcraft background. The movement, concept of stun/disable, last hitting (creep jacking) were familiar. That's another thing we, including myself, need to understand: not everyone has played warcraft extensively enough to learn as fast as those that did. I don't think I've ever bitched about 'idiotic' pathing in DotA, ever. A lot of people who haven't played much warcraft seem to find this to be a problem for example.

However, there are plenty of times when players do something dumb not because they are new, but because they didn't put enough thought into it. Then, his teammates bitch about his stupidity rather than bad hand-eye coordination. Obviously it doesn't help to bitch but you can kind of see why it's different from bitching in other games. It's more like someone bitching at his teammate terran not scanning for him to clear lurkers in his mineral line than someone bitching that his macro isn't strong enough.

Those of you who have gamed with me on GGC have probably seen me bitch to pubs (mostly) as well (though not as often as ryugie lol). In my defense that's because:

1. I assume they aren't 'new,' so they deserve it.
2. They are strangers who are often immature, dumb, and generally not respectable. I'm pretty mannered to people I know, I think. Oh, except for my roommate BottleAbuser/bdares. Of all the times I've said the word 'faggot,' more than half were directed at him

I kick people I find suspicious if they can't answer questinos like 'how much does dagger cost?' because I'd rather play a game that is at a higher level simply because it's more fun.

But for TL DotA, you have to understand that people from different prior experiences are meeting up to play so the differences in skill are going to be big. There's no reason not to try to play at the highest level possible but you need more patience.

I confess that I even asked zulu to give me control when he was playing faceless so I could use his ult at the right time. That was kind of mean I guess But that is the nature of DotA.

no that was fine i did give you control, i didnt know what to do with that hero at all but I could see how the stopping time thing was an awesome stun. People ask me to give them control all the time and bitch at me, etc but the difference is none of them are actually mean about it.

dont worry, until someone goes axe on our team, you have nothing to worry about
thanks for the reminder though
right now i'm in a solo-rosh-at-lvl-7 mood haha


edit: as for this whole thing here
like, usually i side with ryugie, but the last game he took it a bit too far. i think spectre was really upset ;(.
usually i find, the responses to insults/beratements go something like this:
-if they think the insulter is an idiot, they tell him so
-if they dont care, they ignore
-if they knew they did wrong, they say sorry and so on
-but when they start saying things like "dude im trying my best" and "please stop" instead of shit like "fuck you" then i think its time to cut it out -.-;

anyway ryugie does usually give advice at first before going into pure-bitchy mode because they weren't following the advice. and the advice is usually good, like when i was krob and didn't use my swarm as soon as possible, and ryugie told me to use it earlier. i mean it obviously makes sense due to its low mana cost and cooldown that i shouldn't use it as a finisher. see i learned something. problem is, if he tells something like this to a random who doesn't follow the advice time and time again (not at anyone here, just in general), then ryugie gets bitchy. i can see both sides of this so i don't really care.

get on vent people :D i got my mic to work notsorry. i dunno about the quality, tell me in today's games

What race do you play? I'm a NE player


AS FOR THE HUGE RYUGIE STORM
it's pretty simple. everyone JLIG and play. ryugie stop bitching the way you do. even if they don't listen to simple instructions, you could still do it nicer (it's prolly 100x more effective if you do it with manners as it makes them feel embarassed and want to change rather than focusing on your yelling). Everyone here just wants to have fun like Testie said. and Cats unban him. THE END

ITS JUST A GAME

p.s.: I think I've realized a bit myself how I bitch a bit too much at people. And sadly I'm probably sucking worse than whoever I'm bitching at.

also I really meant the JLIG and play part..as in lets go play right now gooooo

I used to play random and undead.

It's been a few years since I laddered so I'm not up to date strategy wise. Didn't you see me sucking in FFA last summer?

I got my 25 win icon on my new account so I'm not going to ladder more. It's not that fun for me I like how 1v1 used to be the easiest way to get wins and now it's random team. Well, I guess arranged team is better but I never liked that.

How did you guys get so good at this game? I had to get Dota a few days ago because pretty much every one of my SC playing friends had switched over to Dota.

If i join a game on B.net i start and then someone yells a bunch of words and soon after that i'm kicked (i think) and right now i'm just playing on some AI map with 1-2 friends, and we and up getting slaughtered ;_;
We make signature, then defense it.

Be careful which guides you read, zulu. Most guides out there suck

Just to open up ideas for you, I go mass bracers to necronomicon on VS. She's a horrible farmer and a support hero so that's all you need really.

stun and stats until lvl 12ish, get aura, and I find terror (?) pretty useless.
