Rager Quitters, Newbs, Noobs and Cry Babies

NOOBS - This is a problem not with just DOTA but with many games on-line. Especially DOTA where you need 5 v 5 in terms of players and you need to know that the enemies are going to stay for the general length of the game - in DOTA usually 1 hour.


Having someone RAGE QUIT because they are going bad, or got a bad hero - affects DOTA so much, when its suddenly 4v5 it makes the game much tougher. While money from the leaving hero is split amongst teammates, having only 4 men makes defence and pushing heaps harder.

Another problem is NOOBS/NEWBS/N00Bs/NUBS/NEWBZ call them what you want, but these guys are problematic in DOTA. Its a game where you need patience and skill from day 1 but it is hard to learn. When Newbs start playing they are easy meat for experienced players and this makes them 'fed' but getting quick and easy kills the older and more experienced DOTA player grow much bigger quickly.

In DOTA the next most annoyong thing is the cry baby. When people are going badly or have a new hero that they can't use - they will cry more noob .. A term given to cry babies. They will say things like "You are using a CHEAP HERO" or "GANK GANK" whatever they can - to make an excuse for the fact that they are going bad. Sometimes DOTA cry babies will FEED and intentionally give their lives to the other team to ruin the game.

Thats the only bad thing DOTA has - it's a great game, but these three problems make things really hard.

Personally, I can't help getting a little pissed off every time I die. I'm a very competitive person and suddenly getting stunned from nowhere and watching the shit beat out of my hero while I'm completely helpless, well, it just drives me insane!

But that's why I only play with friends in a controlled, fun environment. Still lose most of the time, anyway. Nice blog.
