DotA 2 announces Free-to-Play with all heroes and gameplay elements unlocked!

<< < (2/30) > >>

Volatar:
My problem with the DotA2 bots is that they have perfect relexes and timing on denies, making it really frustrating to lane against them.

BobTheJanitor:
But can they make it so that 12-year-old abusive obsessives don't insult my lineage when I try to play this game? If not I still don't think I'll be interested.

So far, of the hundreds of games I've played, I haven't really experienced that much trash-talking; though it could be because it's still in beta.

Gabe was talking about making people who continue getting reported for bad behavior have to pay increasing amounts of money in order to keep playing, as an incentive to play nice.  http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2012/04/24/valve-may-try-to-make-jerks-pay-more-in-dota-2/

Also, the current (already implemented) system of reputation, which rewards people for good behavior, seems to influence people to play nice.

Your mom stops 12-year-old abusive obsessives from insu- y'know, that pattern really requires a shorter starting phrase ;)

I'll be interested to see if Valve tries that "make the jerks pay" approach, and what happens.  But a rep system may well be enough.

For the most part, LoL and DotA do not require any chat at all, and personally I feel both should have chat disabled by default.  Those games are infinitely more enjoyable if you don't need to be reading the vile stuff spewed from enemies and more seriously, allies.
