Worst Experience With a Gaming Community

[MeChaNiZ3D]

Red Dead Redemption.

It didn't help that the multiplayer was painfully boring to begin with, given you only have bandit hideouts to clear and that's about it for activities (and the experience system is SLOW), but there are also a lot of plain dicks who will spawn camp and roam around in groups (on their fucking zebras or buffalo or whatever it is they've had the patience to unlock) and who will shoot you pretty much on sight, despite the fact that you get virtually no xp for killing other players. I struggled through for a bit, contemplated buying the DLC and then thought "no, if the multiplayer needs DLC to be any good it doesn't deserve my money". My last action online was to find a group of dicks, shoot one in the head with a rifle, shoot another with a repeater, steal the first one's zebra and ride off into the sunset while the other three tried to give chase.

Don't get me wrong, I like a bit of PvP and part of the experience with games like RDR is deciding whether to trust another player not to kill you when your back is turned. But I really cannot stand people who just pilfer that by killing everyone regardless of intent.

LoL and CoD

LoL- Sexist, whiney Man-Children who cant accept a loss or accept that new players should be helped, not just say "U Suck, uninstall n00b lol im so clever"

CoD- sexist, Racist, whiney Teens and Actual-Children, filled with highschoolers Talking about how much (Fake) pussy they get or Children spinning around going "360 no scope ima sniper!!"

Inb4 LoL... Dammit.

By the way, I feel like Season 3 has made HECARIM so much more awesome. He's less squishy and has noticeably more damage with the flat AD buff and base armour (health?) buff and actually doesn't risk dying to second wraiths with the machete. 4 HECARIM wins in a row. When did I get good with him I wonder? I don't even stack Black Cleavers! Shocking, I know. Welcome to Season 3, the League of Cleavers.

Wonder if the Sejuani buff elevated her from Garbage Tier even a little bit? Funny thing is on paper she looks awesome. In practise... Ehhhh sub-par in every way possible. Her ult is really good but that's about it.

I wanted to say LoL too...

But I came into it from Heroes of Newerth, so really, in comparison to that hardcore elitist-douche crowd, the LoL community, while clearly immature, is nowhere near as bad.

I keep hearing that HoN's community is somehow worse than LoL's can you elaborate? Trying to think how, do the devs support the game much? Are the gameplay mechanics more technical and therefore clearly automatically superior in the eyes of some elitist idiots?

No wait, that's DOTA 2. My mistake

Joking aside any community that manages to be more unfriendly than LoL needs an award of some kind.

Oh and looks like the League of Cleavers has been cut short by Riot actually nerfing the broken stuff correctly! Along with more Rengar nerfs... Again. I don't even play Rengar and I feel sorry for anyone who plays him, he was dreadfully OP but that first nerf curbed it a bit the second one made him totally balanced then this one is unneeded and frankly bizarre.

Apparently Diana and Zyra needed the nerf hammer to slam down on them as well. *sigh* baby steps Riot, baby steps.

Two reasons the HoN community is worse:

1. It doesn't have you in it.
2. Its players are under the impression that it's hardcore enough to legitimately take over Dota 2 for 'main' moba, e-sports wise. At least the LoL players know that this is, indeed, just a game, underneath everything else. In reality, HoN is, graphics and heroes aside, a perfect replica of Dota 2, it offers no new gameplay mechanics, and the heroes, while mostly imaginative, aren't as varied as the LoL assortment. HoN suffers from 'middle child' syndrome, it has nothing to really push it past the games on either end of the scale, instead being right in the middle, a position now challenged by newcomers such as Smite.

While I've not seen any of the forums right now, Bungie's Halo 3 fanbase, especially on the forums, were atrocious. Every thread was either about how people suck with the snipers, 50s or being from Australia.

Glad i got out of there while i could.

Probably anything I've heard about No Mutants Allowed. I've never even been there and I feel I've had a bad experience because I love Fallout - ALL of Fallout - and there are these idiots that appear to be, you know, breathing the same air I do. Gets me mad is all.

battlelog for BF3

its has gotten better recently as the game has died as your members leave over issues with the netcode in any situation with more then 60ms ping involded

 

[Grape_Bullion]

A lot of the speed running community is full of terrible, self important twats. Met a few WR holders, and hold that record as if success in beating a game fast is the same as having a six figure salary.

Tom Chick has never not liked something before!

I love your post in general but this bit was the best. Tom Chick has never not liked something? Were they talking about the Tom Chick that famously gutted Deus Ex? Who to this day gets the fanboys all a flutter with his Journey, Halo 4 and FarCry 3 reviews?
