Not saying you are that way. But practically 95% of Russians I have met in game (I have met a lot) are that way. When there is an overwhelming majority, we am going to draw conclusions.
If there is ever a vote for region locking, I shall be voting for it, as will most if not all of my friends.
Not just because of the abuse though, the lack of communication is a major deciding factor also, theres no point playing a game that relies on communication with people who you can't communicate with. How can I teach bad players if they don't understand what I am saying?
No, Russians in Dota 2 make up an overwhelming majority of abusive players and I have had so many "We have taken action from your report" for them.

No, I didn't imply there are more Russians at all. I implied Russians were the most abusive and were the hardest to communicate with.
For instance, I just had a game where we annihilated a "team", (all had the same prefix in their name). We were all random except for wisp and phantom lancer (who didn't lane together anyway). We had a visage who played excellently, couldn't really fault him. However all he had to say was abuse, abuse abuse abuse. Even while winning, abuse to us and abuse to the other team. This is my typical experience with a Russian player. I rarely have this experience with players from other nations.

No they are not, but in mine and my friends experience, Russia has the most. I have yet to meet a Brazilian asshole, and I have met so few assholes of other nations that I cannot remember a specific bad experience with anyone of another nation. Please stop trying to refute my experience, and indeed that of my friends.
I never automatically assume Russians are assholes. I give each of them a chance individually. That doesn't change what I have experienced though, no matter how much you try to argue it.
You're welcome to claim whatever you want, but you can't tell me my experience or anyone else's is wrong. It is our experience.

I check nationalities before game begins, as something to do. Become a habit of mine.
What I claim is that you've become biased towards russians, while there are many , and I mean many-many more assholes.
We tend to stick out, I suppose, and am sorry for
yet I stand on my point that it is entirely possible to have fun while being determined to win.
If your game turns into a job, you've already lost.
learn to balance, dunno, or something.
The problem with this logic is the following: If your teammates suck and they provide easy ganks for the enemy team this will 5-10 minutes later screw over your lane. Because any semi decent team will immidiatly jump at you with their superior farm and gone is every chance to improve. You are not learning very much when you get constantly destroyed because of superior farm. You may practise a little lasthitting or jungle pulling in between your downtimes but its just not possible to focus on your own play when your teammates are terrible.
Yeah, I remember that same interview, and what I recall he said was that they train some ~8? hours everyday, and after that they could do whatever but usually just play more dota, pubs etc. I very much doubt they'd do that if they didn't enjoy it.
And to be fair, between some of the jobs I've done for money and the army I'd be happy to play Dota all day instead, however long that would take.
For some people, that is the most satisfying form of playing.Originally Posted by Lysah

I noticed a correlation between "playing terrible" and "not being able to speak english". I never had any problems with those who switch to english when you ask them to. They usually play pretty good as well. Its the ones who just keep on writing cyrillic although they are the only ones understanding it.
