Im out

I'm very sorry to have to say this, but i quit dota 2 today. And it definitely is.

The reason why this is the way it is – because someone trolls in 4/5 games. The game became unbearable and literally a waste of time.

I really liked this game and I want to share with you what I feel.

I didn't play dotA. When I was in elementary school, my friends introduced me to dot 2. It was the year 2012. I remember playing an enigma in the first game, of course I fed the opposing team and I didn't throw a good ultimate. Ah, the good old days. Rank didn't even exist. I played with my friends exclusively because of the interesting game, fun and very good community.

Dota was my escape from reality. I’ve always loved playing at least 1-2 games a day, to absolutely disconnect from the real world. To spend time with good fun. That was my psychotherapy. Also, I have successfully overcome some periods of depression with the help of this amazing game.

Like probably 99% of the players, over time the original fun of playing started to fade and the only thing on my mind was "get as good as you can, proof that you can be the best player in town". During many hours of playing – I succeeded. I was one of the better players in my city (~ 70,000 population). It was the year 2016. Unfortunately, I have never dealt professionally with dowry.

I can really connect very beautiful moments with this game. If you were to ask me when the desperate community started to settle, I wouldn’t know the exact answer. He was probably always present, but I just enjoyed the game.

In 2020, I got a child. Due to work, wife and child, I was not able to spend a lot of time playing this game, but I still played at least 1 game a day. There were more and more trolls and I was very nervous playing this game. The reason for that is my knowledge that I have literally only 1 game a day to play – and that one game is destroyed for me because of some random monkey who probably has 10 lost games in a row.

Today I realized that it all became unbearable. In ten days (one game a day) I managed to get into the troll team 8 times. I just finished a game where my sniper (pos 4) has brown boots – maelstorm and farm our jungle by stealing our creeps. (divine 4) I just don't enjoy the game.

From a game that was literally a breeze in my back, which helped me relax and have fun – I came to a game that annoys me every day. Thanks, but no. I decided to stop with dota 2 and use my time for those things (1-2 hours a day) on things that will help me feel better.

I am very sorry that everything turned out that way and with this act I feel like I am losing a part of myself.

I am writing this text also because I would like some valve employees to see this text. To try in some way with the influence of the valve to improve the game and to severely punish people who troll. I'm not the only example of a man who has spent half his life with this game – and now his heavy heart stops with it because of various monkeys who have no purpose in life.

Thank you dota 2, thank you to all the good people.
