People still play Dota?

not in the west they dont
boomers have mostly retired from dota because it is so stressful and exhausting to play, and zoomers just play easymode dota (league of legends) instead

Wasn't most of the NA Dota scene just former Heroes of Newerth players? Which explains why NA Dota is what it is.

yeah but all heroes of newerth players were just former wc3 DotA players to begin with so it's all the same anyway

Also the fact it's nearly impossible to get back into it after you take a break for a while and when you come back it's like a whole different game. RIP sideshops, hello shrines, no actually goodbye shrines, hello outposts, what the fuck did X hero just do?

Yeah, that and the circle of folks I used to do 5-stacks/inhouses/weekend tourneys with just kinda went our separate ways. Come to think of it, a lot of the groups I gamed with all splintered around the 2016 election 🤔. I really can't play MOBAs solo, I got to have a group.

Its an ever evolving game. Not to mention pretty much every hero is viable in most roles, so it can get VERY confusing. And up until recently there weren't a lot of QOL changes. But overall DotA 2 now is in a better state than it was years ago.

But you forget, DotA 2 is the better Dress Up simulator than league.

I have 3-5 people I play with since the WC 3 mod, so I've always played it.

To be fair, Tobi was a top-tier caster who has a bunch of memorable lines, but it sounds like he is an actual piece of shit, so as much as I enjoyed his commentary I'm glad to see him gone.

At least there's still rap god OD Pixel to commentate, he's pretty much the only good caster left. I've never been a fan of LD, he was too boring to listen to during exciting moments and was too excited by mundane shit (HE HAS THE PHASE SHIFT HE HAS TO USE IT NOW, HE DOES! WAOW!). I can't think of any other commentators except Ayesee, who seems to have vanished from the Dota scene, that I enjoy listening to.

tobi was literally THE face of pro dota and the unquestionable king of commentators throughout most of the early dota2 pro scenes history (i cant speak about recent years because i don't follow the scene anymore)
canceling him is to dota like canceling tasteless and artosis would have been to starcraft back in the day
 
It time to bring him back

Gay shit like this makes me glad the only """esports""" I bother with are watching recasts of Dawn of War II and Steel Division.
 
This doesn't even touch on the fucking shitshow that is DrDisrespect. Dude's last stream's end was super scary. He literally put on a Roblox video while staring into the void to process whatever is going on. He said he didn't want to stream, but now he doesn't want to stop. He mouthed off his wife in some manner of "Give me a few minutes". Dude got permabanned and all sponsors cut ties within a day. His case is honestly more interesting than all these he-she-they said drama about sex.

I never really liked Tobi to begin with and I heard rumors over the years he was a cunt, so its a bit different for me.

For fuck's sake, now he's getting accused of power abuse as well.

Seems like a shit boss.

The weird thing is that nobody knows why. Twitch isn't saying shit, nobody is accusing him of rape or anything. Just one day, bam, gone. Its basically unprecedented, his subscribers even got refunds, all his sponsors cut ties. More than likely its something nasty and criminal. There's no statements from anyone, at all.

His wife also put out a supportive message, which is even stranger. His last stream he nearly breaks down after checking his phone.

Well holy shit, RedEye is straight-up quitting esports while confirming there were elements of truth to some of the stories. Apparently he's considered suicide and his family has been harassed.

I was under the assumption Redeye was extremely well received among the viewerbase. Similar to Tobiwan, but Tobiwan had his fair share of detractors. I don't remember many people talking ill of Redeye. And here he is, gone.

I only ever really tune into Dota for TI, and I don't play anymore. I took a look two weeks ago and the whole thing seems alien.
 
I'll out myself as a nerd, there is no point in watching Dota 2 events anymore. All the casters left are trash except ODPixel. The new talent that were doing the shit tier games no one cared about are awful.
