Why the fuck are MOBAs so popular? I recently installed deadlock and it has been one of the worst decisions I ever made. After playing for 10 hours in total I have been called racial slurs so many times even anons here would blush. I had 7 people add me on steam just to tell me I should kill myself. And mind you, deadlock has new mode called "street brawl" that lasts about 5-10 min unlike normal games and I have been exclusively playing on that mode hoping I would (mistakenly so) avoid experiencing all of this. I shudder to think what normal mode would entail.I asked my friend who plays dota and he says that is still tame compared to dota and now I'm questioning how the fuck are MOBAs so popular? This has been the most miserable time I had gaming in my life, yet so many people can't get enough of it. HOW!?
dota was just what the cool kids played back in the day, so though FOMO it amassed a following and broke into the mainstream
thing i do not like is liked by other peoplewhy?

I dont understand it either, the entire concept revolves around snowballing which is the most frustrating way to lose
>>735162087Stop calling it MOBA, it's ARTS.
>>735162087MOBAs have the worst and most dogshit communities ever because they're team games where everyone thinks they're the main character but unlike shooters you slowly lose and feel the agonizing loss gradually spread out over time instead of all at once after high octane gameplay. Through this they're hyper ego fed because the games are so slow that they devote a large portion of the game thinking about the game instead of focusing on what they're supposed to be doing.Because of this main character syndrome fed by constant overthinking they're ALL filled with smurfs who think they're better than they actually are and constantly deserve every win (This is 100% each and every fucker that was shit talking you.), unfortunately because they're smurfing they have worse team mates than them, they ofcourse have to treat them like fucking dogshit for being worse at a game they never played instead of already being good at it and smurfing like they are and they can't wrap their minds around the idea that other people are like them so the enemy team shouldn't be smurfing, but they can and they deserve to, which makes them even madder when they lose in a game where they're smurfing with someone on the enemy team smurfing, or even better, everyone is smurfing so new players all just have an awful time.
>>735162087when the bucket starts overflowing, he can just shit in the green ranger helmet
>>735163353The genre itself is just shit and force people into unfun experiences. Not a human or personality problem. Like if game design was a serious university branch or something all Valve slop would get F
>>735162087In LoL I love it when people get mad at me because I just report them and get tons of "action has been taken" messages every time I login. It's a great feeling!
>>735162087But enough about Dead by Daylight
>>735162087>HOWIt's heroin in video games form, t. have 5k in dota
>>735163353Smurfing is akin to cheating. Its matchmaking manipulation and should be punished accordingly.
Because you'll have those rare games where everything goes perfectly, you have immaculate mechanics and decisions, and you're effortlessly communicating with your team without really saying much to eachother.And then you keep q'ing to experience that high again, but get bitch-slapped by forced 50-50 for the next 20 games.
>>735162087>I have been called racial slurs so many times Kill yourself you fucking triple nigger.
Idk I can’t play them they send me into a frothing rage same for any Multipkayer games and then I just have to workout until my rage is situated. It’s generally not a good times
Don’t ask me, i still don’t get why anyone would ever play a multiplayer online game that isn’t CS 1.6, its literally the perfect game
>>735162087actually sitting like that all day would fuck up your ass, give you cramps, and give you haemorrhoids
>>735162087yeah i tried deadlock and i dont like it. people were getting so angry in the 4v4 matches. its a freaking beta who cares lol
>>735162087People in this world want to be miserable and to suffer. It’s just that most of them aren’t consciously aware of it.
>>735162087It's easier to get into on a competitive level becuase the skill ceiling is lower compared to genres with a high execution skill ceiling, like fighters or shooters. Meta and Knowledge is way more important.
>>735165374Oooh so it's about hopeless addicts chasing a high ruining things for everybody else, just like most things.
>>735167723it's more about EBMM creating a dysfunctional and abusive dynamic by purposely matching incompatible people together. Because it could also be harnessed to regularly create those good games i talked about.But for me specifically, laning was my favorite part of MOBAs, it was like a really unique fighting game
>>735163353Hate those little blue niggas. They get off on bullying new players.
>>735162087>I asked my friend who plays dota and he says that is still tame compared to dotaYour friend is correct.Deadlock's playerbase is an interesting case of American and Western Euro theatre kids being intermixed with psychotic Slavs, while Dota doesn't have that first category.
The one genre I will never give a single shit about.
