Dota 2 is, without a doubt, the most toxic game ever made.
im not new to competitive gaming. ive put thousands of hours into csgo, played league, fighting games, valorant, whatever. i thought csgo had toxic players until i played dota. this playerbase is actually broken in the head.
nothing prepares you for the absolute baby-rage meltdown of a dota player the second one tiny thing doesn't go their way. and before you say "just play unranked," it happens EVERYWHERE. it happens in unranked. it happens in TURBO. the literally casual mode where you pick blindly. you blind pick a hero, get hard countered through complete luck, lose your lane, and suddenly four grown adults are typing paragraphs telling you to uninstall and end your life.
the fragile ego of the average player in this game is insane. God forbid you accidentally steal ONE creep as a support, because your carry will instantly ping you 50 times, destroy all their items, buy out every ward, and stand under tower for the next 20 minutes typing in all-chat. Miss a single stun at minute 3? Your mid buys midas and goes AFK. Pull a creep wave but your carry missed one last hit under tower? "GG team trash let them end" at 4 minutes in.
i don't even need to give more examples because you all know I'm right. you guys start crying, mental booming, and actively throwing matches over the absolute smallest, most pathetic reasons imaginable. it feels like half the people playing this game aren't even trying to win, they're just waiting for any excuse to throw a temper tantrum and ruin the game for 4 other people.
Holy shit this game is the most toxic thing ive ever encountered. I wouldn't mind that everyone dropping below 6k behavior/comm score getting banned.
