I'm by no means perfect, but i shouldn't be out carrying a free farm PA. or like in the same game, we had an entirely useless windrunner.

I don't feel like I can post, talk, or participate in the community in any meaningful way without being told to literally kill myself. As someone who has spent months on and off considering just that, having people confirm all those dark thoughts isn't great. A high-ish mmr would mean i would feel like a subhuman mongoloid every time I played a game or said something that wasn't generic praise or twitch chat spam. you can post here no problem as long as you can deal with yango and sn0_man as well as a few others correcting you. i say stupid shit all of the time because I'm not a professional player. sorry to hear about your past, though. | ||

Don't be afraid to talk about the game or have an opinion. Most of the really good players here don't have anything to prove, so they won't talk down to you. They might just point out you are wrong. | ||

Just be open to new builds or ideas on how to play and that what you might be doing is terrible.

Most of the really good players here don't have anything to prove, so they won't talk down to you. They might just point out you are wrong. yep, this is a game where you learn through experience. so unless you have specific experience (and a lot of it), maybe you have this idea in your head and its kinda right, but someone with more experience can say it simpler or make more sense of it, or maybe correct a small aspect of it. I find that discussing this sorta stuff on LD has been helpful and made me a better player even if I don't have the experience of a veteran. as for the wand thing, I've gotten in the habit of getting a stick too often I think... but its so useful! | ||

I guess if you're a support who doesn't buy wards/smoke you have lots of item slots anyway so you only need the stick.. | ||

This thread is full of good players saying "I want to improve my MMR so I won't have to put up with trash players who are worse than me." The QQ thread is full of "Oh my god I played in a game with a guy who was worse than me, and he was SO BAD." Basically this whole site* is people posting about how obnoxious it is that they have to play with people who are worse at Dota than they are. I think it's not unreasonable to feel talked-down-to if you hang out here and aren't very good at Dota. *("this whole site" may be slight hyperbole) | ||

QQ thread is people venting. Everyone needs to blow off steam somewhere, and that thread should never be considered anything more than that. Overall though, unless you're actively trying to argue something that is completely wrong with someone who is objectively better and has considerably more knowledge, all ideas are welcome. And if you are wrong, and someone has tried this, usually they are willing to discuss why it is the way it is with you. Provided of course you're willing to actually discuss it that is. For all the answers in this thread that have been 'I want to play with better people' I'd say just as many are 'I'd like to reach my personal peak' as well. | ||

On the subject of posting culture: I still maintain that fast diffusal on Naga works for and is comfortable for me, damn it. | ||
