An 11-year old in the Philippines died after being stabbed more than 40 times. Some in the country have started a movement to blame DotA 2 and ban the game. Elite Monster takes a look at the situation.
From beefy tanks to powerful carries, these are the best Strength heroes in Dota 2's Turbo Mode.
Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.
Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.
Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.
Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?
It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.
This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
Following the Dota 2 update that increased the size of the map by 40%, I asked League of Legends EP Jeremy Lee if we can expect similar things for LoL.
"Don't Blame DotA 2 for Philippines Boy's Murder"
Jack Thompson will.
Filipino boy, not Philippines boy. That's like calling a German Germany boy, or an American America boy. But that's not the problem here.
I remember in Middle School, a lot of my friends used to sell and buy each other's Ruinscape accounts. We didn't go nuts over it though. Just a friendly punch if someone tried to hack your account.
I don't know how popular DOTA is in the Philippines, but there is a song made just for it. Search up "DOTA po ako" or something like that.
I submit that the person who stabbed this boy is the person responsible for his murder.
OK....but I'm still blaming it's success for no L4D3 or HL3.
Those idiots who blame video games for violence should also blame money. Most crimes happen because of money so we should stop using it.
