Can we stop shitting on lower level players? in General Discussion
Snowey

    Hey just thought i'd put this out here, im a guardian medal scrub with like 400 games played. In many of my games im playing with a range of Herald, Guardian, Crusader, and even Archon players. In a recent game one herald player was abbaddon and frequently would run away when his ultimate went off and wouldn't take any damage, you know... he did scrubby things. At the end of the game people with guardian level badges abused him like crazy. Can we just stop? They were like marginally better than this guy. They're hardly in a position to critisize. How about offering constructive advise?

    I remember first playing treeant protector and I didnt know that living armour was global. Would have been helpful if someone just told me that instead of being flamed and been tilted the entire game. Anyway what im saying can we not be assholes, this aint no dick measuring contest.

    Peace and love :P

      Dude, I used to flame ppl on good intention, people rarely repeat their mistake when flamed. Sometimes, going on a losing streak took its toll too you know?

        No way

        Xcell

          -. Stop playing ranked if you pick hero only for training, you ruined 4 player there who playing ranked seriously. You better playing normal match.
          -. Dont stop another player flaming if the flamer playing good and give most impact to the game.

                    I actually didn't find that the "weak link" in a team is always the lowest medal

                    Well, I actually never had a match with herald (I'm guardian 5) but I get alot of archon and legend. And I never found that theres a noticeable skill difference between different medals I play with, alot of times the match was dictated by a fellow guardian, and alot of times the underperformer was legend, I never saw the players skill level in the match tied to their medal this way

                    Anyways if someone is underperformed not intentionally there is nothing to shit on, they try and fail, maybe they are weaker players then the other

                    I have alot of weak gaems, generally it is a daily trend, I find that in some days I play very well and achieve alot, and some days I simply have bad days where I am not useful

                    You should support people that try to perform and being weak, maybe they just need a little courage, sometimes they even ask for guidelines
                    Maybe they had awful day irl and that affected their gameplay? Maybe just saying to them "all good, let's offset ourselves and play together" or something like that can make their day much better

                        this game is about frustration and how to deal with it

                                      Low brackets are full of flamers and retards who got no clue how to play this game. To get out of there you should remain calm or else you get fucked.

                                          I'm sure that herald player had a good reason for running. People just like to automatically assume the reason and dictate how others should play, without being that much better themselves. I agree that we should just let lower level players just enjoy themselves as Long as they have a good rationale for doing what they're doing. The same applies for discussions.

                                            Excuse me? my mmr is 2.3k and according to valve i am above average (2.1k) so my opinion must be respected and my analysis on the game is legit and im going on factual basis. I dont like to kiss ass of any pro without any reason. U have no right to criticize it u bastard.

                                              All the people who excuse other people for flaming or thinking that its normal and you cant "change" that, are just the reason why this game is full of toxic assholes. I remember the days in dota 1 when almost noone flamed because it was all about fun, people played like shit, but noone cared. No everyone takes the game seriously (which isnt bad in itself) but starts to flame like hell. And now everyone thinks that this is considers normal.

                                              If you dont want anyone to flame in your games, start by yourself and dont accept it as "normal behaviour".

                                                  But honestly we should stop from shitposting or we die like 1icetea

                                                    When playing dotes, one must always be "not easily butthurt"

                                                      as a former 1k player , i know how u feel rofl , always keeping ur attitude is the best way to play against lower level bracket

                                                        If you are having problems with dota's community change to league, players get perma banned for insulting someone.

                                                          Learn to mute others. Seriously. You want this game to turn into LoL where the moderators just ban everyone for saying cuss words? No, this is dota. Grow a pair of balls and ignore them or mute them. You even have an option in the settings to automatically mute everyone. You don't need text/voice chat to communicate. You have chat wheel and pings.

                                                            That's not being "lower level", this is being a retard.
                                                            How about u take some reading on a hero before picking it? How about even if you don't you do it when u pick?

                                                            You deserve to be flamed and you deserve to be reported.

                                                                    -you can SB while on tp

                                                                    -etc etc

                                                                    ETd

                                                                      BTW nice little interaction with Blood that you may probably know by now, but some still might not: if you're bloodraged, and you kill a blood-raged unit, you get 50% of that unit's HP; 25% from the effect of killing, and 25% from that unit's effect of dying.

                                                                      trash

                                                                        you can spike carapace while on vendetta

ACTIVATING SPIKED CARAPACE WILL NOT BREAK VENDETTA invisibility.

According to a 2k player who said this to me that 2k and 4k are same 4k are just lucky to get out of 2k
