DoTA 2 has probably the worst community in the gaming world.

It always had, the high and mighty asshats. Very similar to WoW elitists. Same asshats.

(click to show/hide)I guess it is natural for some people. I actually don't really rage much at all. I do some counter-raging (recently I've started up George Carlin's famous "Blow it out your ass" as a response), but I generally never just start raging at someone for doing bad, unless I'm just in a really bad mood (that's not terribly often).
I absolutely hate ragers. If there's anyone I get pissed at in a game, it's them. They don't accomplish jack shit, except ruining team morale and pissing everyone else off, too! They're behaving like little kids throwing a tantrum. They're also usually the first to leave when they start doing bad, too. I really wish there was a way to get rid of them from all games permanently.
I don't care if a teammate does badly, as long as it looks like he's trying and he's not blaming others for his mistakes. Sure, losing's not fun, but too many people are way too damn focused on the end result.
Where's just having fun playing?

Eh. I know where you're coming from. To be honest, I'm not one of the ragers, nor do I put people down when they suck. I mean, yeah, I do get irritated when I get placed with a crummy teammate, because I'm spending ~30min on a game that I'm destined to lose because of the teammate I'm with. But yeah, Dota's community is kind of shitty when it comes to dealing with new people. IceFrog needs to throw add in lobbies that support people who are completely new to Dota, so that new people can try the game out without being made to feel like an ass.
If you haven't given up on Dota yet, msg me on rizon @ #bbtgenchicha. I can coach you through the basics if you want.

In all my scrims, only the same ~20 heroes are considered viable and will be picked or banned. Pretty sure this happens in nearly every MOBA too.
--- End quote ---
Yeah, but the trends change as heroes/items get nerfed, buffed, and as heroes and items get released. It's not like those same ~20 will be there forever.
(click to show/hide)Although, Windrunner really needs a nerf.
Also, there's still an extreme advantage to be had when a team can play heroes that are outside those ~20. If they're good enough, it will earn them a respect ban for that hero.

cant remember team/player but in HoN, there was this one guy that if he had Valkyrie (Mirana) . . .it was GG. regardless of regularly banned heros, if that player was there (competitive HoN), Valkyrie had to be banned .
but yeah, TBH I wouldnt really lock it on ~20 heros, thats the beauty of DOTA2, as you mentioned it changes with time, I remember there was a time when Enigma was rarely used, then it became so popular, game changing, then it passed then it came back again. . .
I mean its about the team Synergy more than the actual heros. . .
