"Before that first International [in 2011], I really enjoyed the game, but after The International, I loved the game. It's not just the game I love, but the community. Sure, people talk shit at me in chat and about once a week, people say, 'Hey, noob, uninstall the game and [bleeped out],' but that's really about their enthusiasm for the game and the energy that they bring. And that's why after all these years, I still play Dota every day," Newell said.

Ban anyone that insults our Lord GabeN.

 

[mayham2199]

The MOBA community in general is ruthless. Even in casual games people get pissed if you mess up.

 

[GrayChild]

Their blasphemy towards Lord Gaben shall not go unpunished.

 

[ssringo]

I mean, if you're still shit after 14+ years of playing the game...

 

[Hookshot]

Imagine he was salty about it. Getting banned from Steam because you called the owner a "Noob"

 

[Magic Carpet]

I feel noob every time I die jumping into spikes in Silksong.

It's hard to play on a luxury boat.

It's hard to play on a luxury boat.

What matters is he's a gamer 1st.

In that case...

Never really got into DOTA2, only played it for like 10hours.
LOL on the other hand, probably 300h or more before I quit. Riot changed how the regions worked and Swedish players suddenly found themselves playing with Eastern Europeans and Russians. The amount of cancer, Cyrillic text in the chat and rage-quitting increased by 1000%. Ok... Bye!
This was when Poppy still looked like a Pug, it's been a long time.

Same gabe. I even play in immortal but people still call me a noob and that I should kill myself every day. It's good for the soul, I think, and I think what they are actually trying to say is that they love me

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Who would have thought that people that play MOBAs are toxic? Never heard of this before.

Next you're gonna tell me fans of Smash don't shower.

Good , he needs to stop playing that trash and get to work on Half-life 3. This is why we don't have half-life 3, he'd rather play multiplayer and sell micros.

I never understood the appeal for mobas. They single handedly killed RTS, which was single and multiplayer in one game for always online gaas.
I think of all the cool rts games and sequels we could of had (empire at war 2, Battle for middle earth 3, warcraft 4, or weird games like Black and white 3).

 

[Skifi28]

Sounds like my average online experience.

 

[The_Mike]

Dota 2? Never heard of it.

It's hard to play on a luxury boat.

No, he only uses the boat to get deeper

Somewhere out there is a Gabe of the deep

 

[deeptech]

He was secretly practicing HL3 MP with bots and devs for all this time.
