old player wondering if dota 2 is worth it

[The CandyMew]

stopped playing back in the LoL update or 7.0.7 after icefrag defiled momma spooder,
recently i been bombarded by some youtube recommendations of dota2 but man... the game looks so whacky, supports being hard carries and hard carries just being potatoes, how much this game have changed?, should i try it again? is the game fun? are peruvians russians still infecting usa servers and blaming others/ throwing because of their dumb plays
?

Long story short, don´t do it.

This matchmaking system is bs right now. Along with some serious questionable design and mechanic decisions by the devs heart + bm, too strong, vanguard OP in early, mechanics that make hilarious, very situational cheesy builds possible and people playing these builds no matter what without considering that this specific build is maybe against a specific situation.

And altough I have a behaviour score of 12k, I am forced to play with griefers and so one, you name it.
If you want more, read on:




it´s even worse than that rn. I had just 5 minutes ago the worst player I´ve ever seen in my life, in my team. He had a evasion talisman several minutes in his courier, finished no items he started to build and feeded af. We got stomped, no way to compensate such a player. Idk if he was high af or griefed the hell out of this game.

People don´t play their roles (and complain here in this forum about their behaviour score, srsly). Or play cheesy ♥♥♥♥, hard supp heroes on mid because they have seen some ♥♥♥♥ in the international or on a youtube channel, idk.

Yesterday I had a techies on pos5 with a e-blade in his inventory no supp items at all, complaining about a nyx on pos4 playing a dagon, said nyx should buy supp items like glimmer cape and so on. In the end, Nyx bought way more supp stuff like wards, smoke and dust than him.

Before that, I had a game with Naga as hero. With a meepo in my team (mid, I was pos 1 obv.) Idk. why you pick meepo if someone in your team picked a naga before that.
Against a Eartshshaker on Pos 2 (picked last) a Juggernaut on pos 1 with a cheesy ethereal blade build (=magic damage) and a omni knight. I told our pos 3 (dragon knight) that we need a pipe urgently, what does he buy, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shroud to boost up and support his own ass instead of helping the team with a much needed item. And he was completely fine with that. I considered to buy a pipe by myself, should have done this.

In General players who just build items from their ingame chosen guide no matter what, if its needed or not, if something is needed to counter a hero or not. Just the very basic and same itembuild again and again. Yet, such a simple mechanic and basics in this game.

I can keep writing this forever, only for the last 2 weeks. Idk what is wrong with the matchmaking right now.
I have lost so much mmr because of these kind of players. And you get matched with them every second game.

Considering to uninstall this game again. Had a dota free period a while ago. Didn´t touch the game for 10 months and it was a happy life, because you don´t get forced to interact with such egoistic, self driven, dumb brainless humans, wasting your own time, which aren´t even able to understand simple basics in the game. I am curios what they are doing in their real life and what they are doing for their living. Can´t be something mentally demanding.

there might be some algorythm ruining games, not sure.. sometimes, you get smooth balanced games, like 200 in a row.

But sometimes, and mostly near rank up/after rank up, it's very possible you have what you already pointed out:
Griefers, and totally unwinnable games, where your team feeds 30kills in first 20minutes, on other lanes than you are.
There is no concede button, and you will be punished with the "behavior system" in these games.
The behavior system is also very questionable at the moment, you can look it up in the forums for sure.

At the moment it's pretty tanky meta, well meta always shifting around in this game.

But besides this, i think DotA is always a fun game.

Sadly no Battlepass this year, DPC removed, and some more things removed..

New hero also not released like it was all the years, but announced to be sometime next year only.. Strange, as next year should be 2nd hero already, but whatever..

Not sure if its dying game ..

Update, I had a nyx on pos3 with a Midas. I bet he's one of those who complains about the behaviour score system. Guess how the match turned out. Got catched more than enough because he went outside the base, while our asses were at the Wall, tried to nuke the supps while they have grouped up. No frontlane or initiate at all in this team setup.

After this hilarious Game with the necro and his evasion talisman, which I have mentioned in my previous post, I got a match in which we've stomped the enemy tean completely.

This matchmaking system is ridicilous in several ways. I guess it is that way so you stay on the ball.

Idk whats going on rn but the game is unplayable for me at this moment. The sheer amount of griefers, smurfs, role abusers and idiots is too high.

Like I Said, players complaining about the punishment system rn, no matter if its their behaviour score or other punishments like LP, and I say, the punishment is not hard enough. Ban the whole hardware ID, MAC of the router, whatever. At least for griefers, role abusers and smurfs.
