That people who play MOBAs are dicks? Because the communities in MOBAs are pretty terrible.

After playing some heroes of the Storm the past month and it being my first Moba, I'm generally not with or talk to any community but even with the game being in Alpha there are already a load of shit players clogging every match, I'm not trying to be elitst or anything since it's the truth.

It only took me roughly a week with a friend who's played many a Moba to teach me  the basics and general strats but again there's the noobs who midnlessly jump in thinking they are Arnie from commando going all gun ho only to find themselves wiped out completely by the enemy team leaving us with downed heroes on long respawn timers while our lanes are attacked and eventually our nexus, I can sorta see why Mobas have toxic communities, it;s mostly because of actual shit players who never learn, who completely diregard strategy and believe their hero can end the enemy team in a 1v4, it never ever works out with a 1v4 or even a 1v5 and yet I keep seeing that over and over, even 2v4's and 5's, that's the biggest issue I can see with Mobas more than anything.

That's part of it, but a problem is the toxicity of the users and the arrogance, when it's not always warranted. A lot of people who yell at newer players aren't very good themselves. Just creates a rough atmosphere where people just detach themselves from the game.

If this is a ranked or competitive game, that changes things. If it's just a normal match, then don't complain about running with newer players unless they either don't want to get help or are playing on the wrong server (it's so frustrating to see non-English speakers on English servers. Probably my least favorite part of playing MOBAs).

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
