RabidKoala, I suggest you join a clan.
That will give you a few friends who will support you.
try to play dota to get the feeling how an unfriendly community really looks like
True. I played a lot of dota 3.7 for reign of chaos.
If you didn't know ALL abbreviations, items and prices you were considered a noob...
That was sick. Especially since I knew 95% of it and was called a noob cause I didn't know the rest...
I guess that is what happens within a very small community.
The majority knows a lot. So anyone not knowing simple things is treated like an idiot.
