A bit of context for anyone who hasn’t played Dota 2: Here a player (Rainino) is telling another player (Gh) that he’s good at the character he played (ES/Earth Spirit) but not nearly good enough to compete at the biggest Dota 2 tournament in the world (TI/The International). Gh then replies that if the other player were to check their game there is a digital copy of the tournament’s trophy with his name on it since he was on the team that most recently won at the time (with a shared prize pool of over $10,000,000).
This screenshot was posted by Rainino themselves on the Dota 2 subreddit but I thought it fit perfectly here!
Toxic assholes run rampant in that game. I used to love it, play it almost everyday, now I just can’t be bothered. Even while playing the unranked turbo matches you’ll find asshole flamers and toxic losers. Saps the joy right out of it.
Yeah I’m with you, the only time I had fun playing Dota was back in the day when I was playing with friends who weren’t toxic. I know it’s not the only game with that problem but it’s a shame!
Kindest Dota 2 interaction.
