I really can't find the fun in this game
[QUOTE=Citrus705;46848379]I really can't find the fun in this game[/QUOTE] I kind of gave up when I couldn't find friends to play with. Without friends it kind of feels like your team of random pubbers are breathing down your neck constantly just waiting to verbally murder you for making a mistake [editline]edit[/editline] That's just my experience at least.
That jugg game sums up my last fights against slarks. Destroy enemy team early game, then slark somehow gets 6 slotted with 5k gold shit and gg.

Without friends it kind of feels like your team of random pubbers are breathing down your neck constantly just waiting to verbally murder you for making a mistake[/QUOTE] Weird, I only play alone. Mainly because I don't want to end up against 5 man stacks and get some kind of hivemind shit strategy.
I play alone 90% of the time and still enjoy it, to each their own I guess.

If he is verbally abusing you, i doubt he'll give valuable information anymore. If he griefs during the game just report and move on.
[QUOTE=Citrus705;46848379]I really can't find the fun in this game[/QUOTE] It's the best to play it with friends. The amount of possibilites in this game is astonishing.
[QUOTE=LaTrefle;46848494]Im gonna give this advice again, just mute the guy. If he is verbally abusing you, i doubt he'll give valuable information anymore. If he griefs during the game just report and move on.[/QUOTE] Sometimes you don't even have to mute the guy. Just say "muted", and there's a chance he'll behave. And if they start griefing, you can use the Disable Help option. When turned on, it will cause some allied spells to have no effect on you, I think OD's Astral and SD's banishment is on the list.
[QUOTE=Citrus705;46848379]I really can't find the fun in this game[/QUOTE] Maybe you should just get gud?

I wouldnt recommend it if the guy is actually trying to win the game, it could fuck up teamfights...
[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;46848516]This is one of my favourite games to play with friends, it's so much fun.[/QUOTE] Ever tried mirana bane lanes? I'm going to hell for mentioning that :v:
[QUOTE=Citrus705;46848379]I really can't find the fun in this game[/QUOTE] There isn't any fun to be had. It's mostly a digital S&M Club. I love it.
every thread outside dota section is just people complaining that the game is too hard for them therefore is bad its hilarious to read
[quote]over 10,123,495 concurrent players[/quote] [img]http://i.imgur.com/respiBb.png[/img] Who ever wrote/copied this article should probably look up what concurrent means. [editline]4th January 2015[/editline] The actual stats are something like this [img]http://i.imgur.com/0Pq6Dzw.png[/img] Although it probably lacks the Nexon and Perfect World stats which are private.
[QUOTE=Kwaq;46854512]every thread outside dota section is just people complaining that the game is too hard for them therefore is bad its hilarious to read[/QUOTE] I rarely see people complaining about the game because it's "too hard", but hehe yeah those scrubs got nothing on you pro elite gamer

Seriously their articles are getting ridiculously bad.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;46848977]epic dude[/QUOTE] If you repeat this in enough threads maybe people will find your snipe funny !
[QUOTE=RichyZ;46855183]if you repeat "git gud" unironically as a fan of something, people will hate a fanbase even more ![/QUOTE] but you seriously cannot win this game if you are either playing with totally computer illiterate people or if you get better at playing the game. Its as if you're complaining that chess is a shit game because you play bad. You just need to get better by practice which makes it perfect.

Journalists these days don't check facts or info and PCGN had quite a lot of poor articles which were either misinformed or just dumb. The fact that they fix their error after community points it out doesn't really give them rep in my eyes.

[QUOTE=Citrus705;46848379]I really can't find the fun in this game[/QUOTE] That's because it doesn't exist, there is only misery in doto, and I wouldn't have it any other way :v:

[url]http://www.pcgamesn.com/the-talos-principle/the-talos-principle-pc-review[/url] Why is it Talos vs Portal and the score seems to be "6/10 cause not portal"?
[QUOTE=Crimor;46856532]That's because it doesn't exist, there is only misery in doto, and I wouldn't have it any other way :v:[/QUOTE] I found fun one day. It was awful.
[QUOTE=Kwaq;46854512]every thread outside dota section is just people complaining that the game is too hard for them therefore is bad its hilarious to read[/QUOTE] I'm more "I tried it but the community is toxic and all I ever hear Dota players say is how often they have to put up with Russians so I just decided against trying to learn to play it further."
I've learned 5 different languages with Dota 2 10/10
Instead of celebrating this milestone that Dota 2 has achieved, we are arguing whether or not the game sucks. Whenever LoL is mentioned, the thread becomes about how Dota 2 is better; whenever Dota 2 is mentioned, the thread becomes about how it sucks. Great job Facepunch.

I'd recommend Smite if you want to enjoy Dota 2 but just can't, the viewpoint makes it much easier to understand for someone like me (the perspective some literally gave me a headache in Dota 2) and the mechanics are very similar to LoL/ However, the community has a habit of being barely noticeable because people communicate with voice commands (eg VVGG says good game) and text, there's no voice chat. The people I do come across tend to be nice, they'll help you out on improving your play as a hero and make callouts etc, just an issue is sometimes the silent people will snap if you suggest they do x instead of y as the hero they're playing.
