    For the record though, about 50% of the Dota community are despicable human beings. 45% are alright, and 5% are actually really cool.

     

    I've been homeschooled my entire life too, so I know the feeling. After a little bit though you can begin to realize that they aren't talking about you, but rather your playing. They are just extrapolating something that doesn't really matter in the world to be your entire identity, which is not alright at all.

     

    As well, you can punish them for it. There is a system where you can report all of them for communication abuse, which will put them into the low priority matchmaking with butts like them.

     

    Sounds like you are really new to Dota, and I would hate for this butt of a guy to be the reason why you stop playing. We should play together sometimes, and I can try to show you when the game is really a blast. *shrug*

     

    Sorry that the conpetitive nature of these games brings out the worst in people, though. =(

     

     

    DOTA2 Homeschoolers unite! :P

     

    In any case, yeah, I've had your same story happen to me on more than one occassion. You pretty much did the same thing I do when I get obscenely irate players on my team. I just laugh it off, offer my apologies, and move on. If they continue with their tantrums I just report, mute, and ignore (seriously though, they need to raise the limit on reports I can send in every week). I have to admit that I find a degree of smug satisfaction when I boot up the DOTA2 client and receive an alert that someone I've reported has been punished. But, yeah, the long and short of the whole thing is that a competitive environment tends to quickly let you know who has self-control and who probably suffered some sub-par parenting. My advice? Play with friends unless you've really built up a thick skin.

     

    Also, you should hit me up on steam sometime. Maybe we can play a round.

    Thanks, It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in all this. I'm fine now. When I think about it now, I should laugh about it too. Those kid-adults man...

     

    I would LOVE to! What's y'all's Steam accounts? Send it via PM.

    Awesome design. I wish I had this sort of design skill. Or even this level of drawing skill. Sadly, the last drawing and design courses I was in were extremely traumatic for me so I don't know how long it might be before I'm fit to study those fields again.

     

    Thanks! I've cultivated my skills primarily in conceptual design and graphic design. But my roots are buried in lego somewhere.

     

    I LOVE concept design, but I've only been able to get money from doing client work. I've only been in Graphic Design studies for 7 years and still have lots of work to cultivate.
