            0(1) Doesnt mean anything thou. I usually wait for my teammates to abondon before leaving, or 5man leaving if others do too. I dont just mean stacks, random teammates too.

                It doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, it just means you are a person prone to give up when you have a disadvantage.
                Yes, I understand that people don't want to continue playing when you have 'obviously lost', but in all seriousness why not play a game with a real forfeit option like HoN and LoL? Why? Because DotA DOESN'T have a forfeit option and that's why you play it. Over the course of 4000 hours of playing this game, I've heard of many many people saying they've come from LoL and HoN just because they're tired of people giving up under 5 minutes. Valve/Icefrog will NEVER add a forfeit option, so you will have to live with it. Nobody cares how many abandons you have, but understand this: By leaving a game and justifying it with "it was a lost game anyway" or "my team is hopeless" it doesn't make you ANY better than those 'hopeless' people you call teammates, infact it makes you worse. Period.

                  Dude I have 89 abandons, you think you badass?

                    Dota has a forfeit option, if everyone on a team leaves, its a lose but not an abondon for anyone, just a lose in 20 sec. But at least half the team cant forfeit, Id hate it if 3 people could just click give up and auto-lose when its still winnable, just becaouse we have late and they have early heroes and its not over yet, just they dont know. Maybe in LoL/HoN its harder to come back than here, but with the streak-breaking golds and the extra gold/exp from killing higher level heroes, its really not impossible. I had some nice comeback games from 20-0 enemy ursa and other "scary" things for pubs, but im sure most players on my mmr would have just forfeit there.

                            It can also mean that you live in a third world country, like India, where you have power issues and internet connectivity issues all the time :( :(

                                  You shouldn't play this game if you abandoned more than 5% of your games.

                                      When I have lose sprees that I can't do anything about, I have the tendency to just...LEAVE. Like the spree I'm on now. I got pretty wound up and had to uninstall dota for a while. Haha. 113 abandons is badass.

                                        Last time I checked, they were 24 or 25.

                                        2 are ragequits, one is an unfortunate event where I actually had to quit midgame and the rest are me prefering to abandon a match over making innocent gamers lose their time by playing with me and the ridiculous I-can't-even-play-Lich lag I occasionally get.

                                          its party abandons I think

                                            You're leaving room for a sensible misunderstanding (in fact, I don't even know if you yourself know the right interpretation). The second number are abandons you get when people in your party abandon. If you yourself abandoned while in a party, on the other hand, those would still count as a default abandon.

                                                    Don't give up! but some games are irritating as they're already lost and everyone knows it but the opponents doesnt want to end the game..
