I use to play at 3.4k mmr which is like high gold i believe for league.. and my mmr never reset after the 4 years i was away from Dota 2.. I even told the players we would lose because of me. They never flamed ONCE not even a little. i went 1-2 for the day and we actually won the only ranked game i played.. Amazing how different these communities are lol. Hell Dota even has voice chat and they were well-behaved.. Imagine that.
DOTA2 has a prisoner's island. That's why you don't face or play with flamers. The low priority queue is huge compared to the normal queue.
I believe it is because people who flame get sent straight to a queue full of other toxic people, but I may be wrong.
prisoners island is just a good idea. sure dota is smaller than LoL, yet i tend to hear positive things about their community. the last positive thing i heard about the LoL community was a year ago or so and i quote "you can tilt toxic kids and get them punished for being the real asshole loool"
I had the exact opposite experience. Played a round and when I revealed that I was new to the game I was flamed even before I had the chance to play poorly.
Single digit matches are a poor way to judge a community.
Yea, because they're being punished in their own ways. Different penalties for different games. Plus the amount of players who plays DotA is not all that large
I've been playing dota2 for 2-3 months now (installed it after the mage update made me lose hope) and you get flamed for literally everything. Plus, the chat is flooded with words like "retard", "n**ga", "autist/autism" etc.
teach me how to flame [sg-janna]
