just wondering, i spend to much time playing lod or dow wa to be a regular on wc3, but it seems you either hate or love dota

so far in the common chat room channels usa west 1-4 everyone but 2 people said they hated dota, either its to slow, rigged, or non melee which according to them is "true wc". i was just wondering why people dislike it so much, please post why you dont like dota if you feel like helping me know whats up. tyvm

PS= i like dota because it is a creative game, and its well balanced, once you learn to play with every hero you see they all are good when using the right items and played the right way. i am a novice only played about 50+ dota games.

what i dont like about dota. abusive hosts, abusive players, impatient players and hosts, i was banned on the local banlist i guess because i didnt play the sniper well, and i had 1 death, and i took out 2 towers(was doing good for early start) 2 people on our side left game so host got mad and banned 3 players for being "Noobs". also, if your teammates curse at you constantly and insult you, and you leave, your banned. i dont think its right, but nothing i can do about it. either play with friends only(dont game enough to make any) or dont play at all is what it breaks down to.

PS= im an adult gamer, like the thousands of other adult gamers, we try to be patient will our younger gamers, but they seem to be more insulting. pretty soon, playing an online game will lead to anger issues, my own friend stopped playing online games alltogether due to a very rude gamer on starcraft. more and more people will grow tired of dealing with jerks and soon the only people to play those games will be jerks, using and abusing each other, then the politicians and anti video game advocates will be able to say, "look, see we were right about games, they only lead to bad things.

i would like to add one last comment, remember something. no matter how good you get on a game, your still a noob on a differant game, what happens when you buy a new game, and get insulted and find playing the game with others has no enjoyment what so ever, you dont play games to be treated like shiz, you play to have fun. dont ruin others fun with childish insults and handicap programs.

try to remember this

Pro means snob

Noob means works for a living

dont "flame" people because they dont devote as much time to this game than you do or have disabilities that limit their learning skills. i.e ADHD or ADD

but aside from angry kids with no supervision and child molesters looking for their next date id say online games are cool and we should start acting like a community, showing at least some respect, before you insult the wrong psycho, make love not war man.lmao :nuts: < i just really like this smiley!

There have been many threads like this before (Before the crash maybe), and most were closed due to arguments... Some people like DOTA, some people don't like it, who cares? It's just a game.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
