Those Crazy DOTA Opponents

After playing DOTA for some time, you'd think you've heard all the trash talk possible from the members of the opposing team. Currently, most of this 'trash' revolves around MapHacking, which opponents seem to accuse you of whenever you kill them, or successfully escape from their gangbang. They will also definitely accuse you of MapHacking if you accuse them, or any member of their team, of MHing.

In 2 of the DOTA games I've played today, the opponents I encountered have once again reminded me that, there are, indeed, really bizarre people in Singapore who play DOTA.

In the first game, my teammates accused the Lion from the opposing team of MHing, which sparked off the usual response of 'We're not MHing YOU are'. However, as the game drew near the end (i.e. the opponent's base was being whitewashed), one of the opponents announced that he was lagging, and had been throughout the entire game, and that it was the person who was MHing that was causing the lag.

=.=". So now, not only do people think you can get the power to do whatever you wish in the game with MH (see post), they also think you can cause LAG with MH. I guess they must believe in Map Hacking, in the literal sense of the word.

I probably would have blogged about this lag-by-MH issue, except that from the start to the end of the game, the person we accused of MHing was lagging so badly that his lag screen would show up every now and then; and his was the only one to do so throughout the entire game, except for a crazy ally of ours who got bored and lagged himself out of the game on purpose. Apparently by pressing Alt-Tab.



In the last game I played, the opponents confirmed my belief that no matter how you play, and what you do, as long as one of your teammates accuses a member of the opposing team of MHing, the other team will accuse members of your team of MHing.

From the start of the game, the other members in my team suspected the Furion from the other team of MHing, and decided to test if it was true. They started to randomly ping all over the map to see how the Furion would react. I'm not exactly sure what they expected him to do, but if he was MHing, and seeing all those pings all over the map like I was, it may have been rather taxing on him (I know the pings on the Mini Map were causing me to hallucinate a little more than usual), up to the point that when he was accused on 'All' of MHing, he didn't even bother to deny it. He, instead, dropped all his items in his base, and ran straight into our fountain.

His teammates, as expected, immediately accused one of us of MHing (they always manage to find someone to blame, and weirdly enough, it's never me. Hmm....) when we asked them to stop MHing so blatantly. When the Furion was directly pinpointed out, he vaguely admitted MHing, and by his further action of suicide, it was rather obvious that he was, indeed, MHing. His teammates, however, kept insisting that we were the ones MHing, and that we were only accusing them of MHing because we were noob, losing, and being sore losers.

Noone on my team could see how having a kill-death ratio of 38-10 was 'losing', so we kindly informed the opponents of that fact. One of my teammates then asked the opp if he 'had Primary school English'. I'm not exactly sure what prompted him to ask, but that opp immediately retaliated by asking us if WE had Primary school English, and proudly proclaiming that he had Secondary school education. o.O.

The entire opponent team then proceeded to use the words 'sore losers' and 'noobs' in great quantity, while attempting to insult our proficiency of English. So we asked if they knew how to see the kill-death ratio (which was still very much on our side), to which one of them actually answered 'no'.

And then, because I was bored, I told the opponents to stop 'talking big'. Which got an immediately reply of 'You said I don't have Primary school English and you ask me to stop talking big.' or something along those lines. Er? So I asked him what talking big and not having Primary school education had to do with each other, and he said I didn't know what I was talking about. and said I should 'be mum'.

Now, I know that 'mum' can be used in the context of silence, but I've only seen it used as 'keep mum', not 'be mum'. I'm still not really very sure if 'mum' can be used in conjunction with 'be' (checked up with the online dictionary, doesn't really give me an answer).

So I decided to be funny. I told the opponents that I was a mum (well he asked me to be mum right), and I asked them if they were embarrassed to be losing to a mother.

Amazingly, everyone of them kept quiet after that.

Faint. Maybe they are all in Primary or Secondary school, and are still scared of mothers.
