No, I'm saying you are the only one who can make yourself better at the game. You don't need a mentor, you just need to play a lot and practice. Valve is doing great stuff to make the game more newbie friendly, which is always a good thing.jim-jam bongs said:Your post presupposes that being yelled at and called a fag is the best way to get better at the game, when a much more effective way is having a helpful community to teach you. And personally it doesn't get under my skin, but if I have the choice between playing a game where I'm called a "mexican jew lizard faggot" every 10 seconds and one where I'm not, which one do you think that I'll choose?
And when given the choice, I play the best game, regardless of whether or not I get flamed. I'd rather play DotA and be called a lizard fag than play the abomination that is most online games that were slapped together at the last minute because the senior executives wanted to have "multiplayer!" on the back of the box. Again, getting called a mexican jew lizard faggot makes me laugh, it doesn't get under my skin, and you can block chat if it really bothers you.
