Why did it die?

While talking about lore reminder
>Valve lore guy on twitter said Jakiro's parents are Winter Wyvern and Phoenix
>Legion Commander fucked a furry
>Every DOTA game is canon. Each time a game ends the universe resets with slightly different variables until there is a point where both ancients are destroyed at the exact same time
>Storm Spirit is the biggest dick out of the 3 (4) spirits.

Matchmaker was always shit
Then they added multiple different matchmakers, which means even longer finding 50% games
But the real problem is like TF2 there's just no sense of community to give casual players an in to learn the game. Like TF2, one godlike player can shit on the entire server, and the lowest skill player can be far worse than a replacement bot.

In fact the game would have been way more healthy if instead of balancing for a handful of teams, they implemented a guided mode for new players:
>AI controls the character but you can give it orders to follow so the player can follow the team when needed
>If an AI wants to use an ability it highlights a target and corresponding keybind so the player can be taught to use those skills period (if not most effectively)
>Likewise with items, AI suggests (this is what Plus was supposed to be for jesus christ valve) so the player can practice shopping
>AI will automatically move defensively in team fights and lanes to buy whatever time it can for the slower minded player to keep up while processing item/ability usage tips or teammate orders

Lobbies and some handholdy stuff would have gone far. I never had a full stack of friends but the few I got hold of only got confused and fucked over by insane autoclick enemy bot stacks and retarded wandering "friendly" bots that they never learned anything.

>Storm Spirit is the biggest dick out of the 3 (4) spirits
Why does this need confirmation? It's fucking obvious.

It doesn't I just wanted to remind every one.
I'm salty because of my last match with a Storm Spirit

That was a joke.

Not even funny

Community is trash, also it being free to play.

phantom lancer still exists

if someone reports you for not winning you get put in a really long queue for 5 games with trolls. this literally made me uninstall, reinstall like a year later, realize i still had to play those5 games, and then uninstall for good.
