    Play normal matchmaking, and flame at everyone for being bad and get Comm reported.

    Once you establish that you are muted, add the people (usually worse than you) to your steam and be extremely nice to them saying that they played actually well and you were having a bad day and didn't mean to yell at them. Invite them to a party and start up a game.

    Play support and play normally helping people gank and zone out as much as possible. However, purposely fuck up on a lot of these ganks and plays and feed. Then continue to rage through steam messages about you being muted and blame that it's "Their fault that you cant communicate ganks ".

    Rinse, wash, and repeat.

          I assumed buying a account was to troll people and ruin their games.

            10 bucks Hael will be 40% by end of 3 months, any bets?

              Hael bro if you don't play any games for 3 months, I'm gonna 5 bucks to you.

                Isn't that a hell allot of effort just to troll? I thought trolls where lazy, fat guys living under bridges.

                  You can always donate your money to me instead of buying accounts. I like cash. It goes to a worthy cause of me.

                    Why do you all assume that Hael bought this account?

                      He said so a while back. His account was like 88/22 now its whatever it is now below 50%. He was bragging about it at one point.

                          I thought hael was trolling the moment he purchased the account and started posting with it.

                            Couldn't he purchase something more useful like bank card accounts instead of dota accounts?

                              Dude, why do you want to hurt other people, Heal? I mean, I could get it if the person picks Phoenix every game, but otherwise, what is your motive?

                                Because just yeling and raging is lame and not fun. But going out of your way to ruin someones day, well thats creative and makes people afraid of others. Also, I never said this account was bought. The winrate on it isn't even that bad. Ive just been having bad games playing normal matchmaking because im muted.

                                Although I would never do it to Vandal. He's a cool guy. Also, I dont mind phoenix pickers, majority of the time they die instantly. I do not like terrorblade pickers.

                                  You should just not get angry. If you know someone is intentionally being an asshole, you can feel anger if you want. That's the thing, though, it has to be really intentional like hiding your items and things like that.

                                  But other than that, most things people burst into anger for are things they ASSOCIATE with being an asshole (not buying wards, moving courier around, giving FB, losing mid, not going in when you go in, etc.), but in actuality, the player is just doing what he knows how to do. He isn't actively being an asshole. The correct response really is pity, not persecution. They just don't know better or it was a simple overlooked action or it was a mistake. 50% of games will have FB on your team, it just happens, for example. No one WANTS to be first-blooded.

                                  Take a look at any professional streamer. I used to be a rager, and I used to be shocked when they didn't rage WHEN THEY THEMSELVES DIED, let alone when their team died. At the very worst, they'd say something like, "Uh oh, that's not good" to themselves, totally devoid of anger.

                                  And when someone is being argumentative/a douche in chat (i.e. he has pinned YOU as one of the "game ruiners" rather than being empathetic), you have to empathize with his lack of empathy - it's meta-empathy. After all, you have grown angry and tossed insults at fellow dota players too. Again, he is persecuting you for actually believing you made totally ridiculous mistakes. Oh well.

                                  It makes everyone happier if you:
                                  1.) don't blame other people
                                  2.) don't advise other players on builds/actions unless they ask for it
                                  3.) Ask for things rather than demand them
                                  4.) Never flame people for how they play in dota
                                  5.) If they are flaming, persecute THAT behavior as being poisonous/not helpful, explain that everyone makes mistakes, and no player deserves to be berated. Sticking up for the guy who lost middle can really hold your game together just as an example. People can really lose the will to play, often times internalizing the idea that "I'd rather lose than let this delusional asshole who is persecuting me win." If he notes that YOU are on his team, being reasonable, his desire to win the game for you outranks his petty desire for punishment of the shit talker. In a sense, he sees your words as punishment of him and confirmation that he is right internally.
