MODERATORS
I have never fully understood the appeal of a convoluted and bloated metagame within a game (that basically killed off the RTS genre that spawned it) that has its own specific and rigid rules and expected way for each match to play out in a way that causes excruciatingly long death spirals for the losing team that have to be played through each and every time and the consequent rage and toxicity that encourages in its playerbase... and why I'd voluntarily want to play or even watch that.
On literally my first game of this someone kept calling everyone the r slur for being bad at the game. It's not even released yet. How can anyone be good yet.
First and foremost that keeps me far away from MOBA anything. Something about the format is like a rage magnet, and with that it also pulls in all sorts of bigotry, too.
You need a decently high ELO for there to be a guaranteed death spiral rather than execution mistakes big enough that you can seize the momentum back.
I suppose I'll just take your word from it. I'm an outside observer that had associates that more or less horrified me with how "fun" the toxic hate vomit they were swimming around during ranked matches was to them.
