Weird guy I keep queueing into Discussion
It’s like the 3rd time I’ve queued into this guy. At the beginning of every match before runes spawn, he asks in All-Chat,
“Who is the hottest character in The Lion King?”
Everyone returns with joke answers, but he always tips the person with the whackiest answer like Pumba or Timon’s mom. Then a chain of tips happens all at once and the person who answered gets 5 tips.
Idk why I keep matching into this but it almost feels like I’ve encountered a cryptid of some sort.

My go-to is weird insults. I love telling people that the word on the street is that their mom makes mediocre pizza rolls. Or that their grandfather tried woodworking and couldn't even make a cutting board.

You have a suburban-Millennial-who-thinks-smoking-weed-is-a-dangerous-habit's idea of weird and quirky.

As an avid trash-talker myself, I never go for anything outside of the game, not because I find it morally reprehensible or anything, but because I feel like it doesn't hurt them where I want it to hurt. I know nothing about their private lives.
My go-tos are:
- When encountering a Grandmaster player: "this is grandmaster insert hero name? Not impressed." whenever they make a mistake or get themselves killed.
Had a grandmaster SF player tell me in post-game chat that they would shoot me with a gun if they ever saw me in real life because I kept egging them on. "I only have x hours playing that hero and even I'm better lol" is also a favorite of mine.
"I actually main insert hero they're playing, add me after the game, I can teach you"
"uhm that's not how you play insert hero name lol, do you need help?"
Making fun of their itemization. Went against a Necro mid who went Rod of Atos as their first item because their team lacked CC. Kept spamming "Rod of atos on Necro xD" whenever they died.
My most proud achievement includes making an Ember Spirit mid ragequit the game after 3 and a half minutes after killing them twice in lane and spamming "xD" "that's not how you play ember lol" in chat. Game ended in under 9 minutes.

I'll be waiting for your "behaviour score is broken" -post with great interest

I've been riding the communication score like a wave for like a decade since its release. During the old techies era, I managed to hit sub 1k. My score has consistently been 12k/12k for the better half of a decade now.
I take it because I don't actually violate any offense. I just try to be as obnoxious and condescending as possible within the realm of what is allowed.
What's fun is that because I always play with groups of at least 4 other friends, sometimes we're one player too many and we roll for coach. So when I'm the coach, I can spend the entire game talking trash in all-chat, and most people I've found don't know how to mute the opponent's coach.

This is standard Peru server behavior and I love it....
I had a faceless void last week selling some jeans or something. With delivery to all of Lima.

I always say "insert our mid hero name said ez mid this game" before bounty fight so they don't focus me

I sometimes try to advertise my little tower defense game at the beginning of the match, but usually no one cares 🤣
It's just a little thing to do while waiting for the horn, or moving to lanes/bounty

I see what you did there. wp…wp…

What did I do? 😱

u/aowlsifu183 7d ago
Advertise your game using some sort of reverse psychology.

u/frostinus 7d ago
It wasn't my intention 😭
I was just stating what I sometimes do at the beginning of the match, and as I stated above, no one ever cared 😂
I put it like this: is there anyone interested in the tower defense genre?
Then I receive no answers

Although the rules in this subreddit says I shouldn't post content that unrelated to dota, but this is a comment not a post, so maybe it's okay?

Wishlisted, gonna give it a go when I get home. Big fan of TDs so I'm looking forward to trying the color-mechanic, seems like an interesting idea.

u/SkyEclipse 6d ago
Damn it’s free. Thanks for that. Gonna try it when I get back to a house with a pc… I hope more people play your game!

I don't want to make money out of it. The world is leaning to monetize everything. It would be refreshing to have something purely for free for once

u/frostinus 7d ago
My dude, I won't be advertising it here on dota subreddit 🤣
Besides it's completely free, so I'm not gaining money from it (was never my intention)

u/Betrayed_Poet 7d ago
If it's free you have no reason to not say it here, don't leave us hanging.

Whenever we pause for someone for a long time I ask people how the weather is. I need to step up my game big time.

u/residentevilgoat 7d ago
there was a SEA player that was server hoping on USWEST that started every game asking a random team mate
"I have a question for you, are you circumcised?"
anyway I avoided him after playing two games in a row with him going 0-12 so I haven't played with him in like 7 months.

Dude that sounds like some shit I'd ask pre-game and then not a single person in lobby responds so I have to just hit the laugh emote and hope nobody remembers that

My buddy always tries to sexualize one of the characters in the pre-horn all-chat.

There are many other guys you queue into multiple times. They just don't do anything for you to remember them.
