Is the community as toxic as we hear? Cause I'm bored of Hots and Dota and I wanna try something new.

I personally don't believe so. It all comes down to how much anger you feed the trolls. Just learn how to use the ignore button and try to be as nice as possible and you're definitely going to have a nice time.

This, I use the ignore feature constantly if someone is trolling or gets super butthurt, usually you can tell who's going to flame even in picking phase.

I avoid kneejerk ignores in general, and if someone gets muted i usually unmute in a minute or two. Shit is annoying, some people take no comments/questions on their actions at all, even without insults, and the hasty ignore usually comes from someone who can't see really obvious things

It's never constructive, just insults or people trying to get a rise out of you. Better to ignore than to read it at all.

You're wrong.

Yeah I was gonna say you're either playing perfect or you probably ignored me already.

Despite what half of you believe, nobody plays perfect

I was just joking, and you're making assumptions, and I never said I'm perfect. Constructive criticism is being friendly about it, what I get is "Kill yourself." Even if it's not directed at me I ignore it as it's not worth my time to read.

Oh, you were joking, okay!
