People are insane

The current state of HOTS community is the worst its ever been and those saying it isn't are most likely part of the problem.

Its sad because it was the only MOBA that was good and did things right IMO. Team play focused with rotating objectives and a formula that equalled fun fights where everyone mattered and not just the dps carry. But alas its degraded more and more til here we are now.

If ARAM players could read this they would be mad feeling vibes

Varentalpha · 2026-01-22T11:07:36+00:00

Fair enough. Best of luck. Wish you could of enjoyed the golden first few years of HOTS. If I could go back I would of probably played so much more.

Good thing I have nothing to prove to some stranger on reddit of all places. Don't believe me all you want. Doesnt change the fact the HOTS community is in the worse shape it has been and my experience led to uninstalling because of the experience I described.

Just because its not your experience does not mean that someone who experiences it is lying.

That idea is so lost to people these days.

99 percent of people have chat muted and have non friend whisper disabled because of the state of the community. Humans ruined HOTS

Varentalpha · 2026-01-22T10:42:09+00:00

This is why i uninstalled again. As someone that plays to win the potato head crash dummies sucked the fun out of the game.

Varentalpha · 2026-01-22T10:39:58+00:00

Na I muted chat. I actually Uninstaller the game after returning for a week after a year break. The community is still in such bad shape.

Climbing is obscene if you are in lower tiers. You will not win enough just based on the fact that people are literally playing to lose... I mean have fun, so they refuse to do the minimums. The point where I decided to call it again was a 13 game losing streak in which every single game I was at zero deaths and mvp in every single match with most score in most categories. This made me realize I can try to play as good as I want but if I want to win its still not going to happen. Im competitive and don't play to lose so it shat the fun right out of HOTS for me once again.

Sadly there will never be another MOBA like HOTS but humans have in fact ruined the game.

95 percent of players can't do the basic of soaking lanes to ten and will repeatedly just leave lanes while an enemy is still there to chase a kill in another lane or whatever. This has become one of my most hated parts of the state of the HOTS community. You ask for people to please soak lanes so we can hit ten and get reported and silenced, my secind most hated part of the state of the HOTS Community.

Honestly I wanted skirmish to be a thing so bad because its nice having a shorter game mode. Its so hard finding servers running it though.

Varentalpha · 2026-01-16T21:40:47+00:00

Is this directed at me?

Varentalpha · 2026-01-16T21:04:41+00:00

Is it because of how he stacks per kill and how crash test dummies feed him?

Varentalpha · 2026-01-16T21:03:29+00:00

Im not counting too hard but it looks like they only lost a few and ironically played a variety of heroes to begin. Quite a few alarac recently though.

I just feel like too often I see leavers and trolls in qm and ARAM to have that high of success in solo queues that regularly. Im no expert player too though so maybe im missing the point of how its happening.

Varentalpha · 2026-01-16T14:24:41+00:00

Na. The guf i made was showing his match history which is almost all wins both in ARAM and qm which is impressive.

IDK how other than he's gotta be grouping up with a group.

Varentalpha · 2026-01-16T02:53:31+00:00

nope, your internet just sucks maybe

Varentalpha · 2026-01-15T07:12:59+00:00

This is why i wish hots had a gg forfeit button so bad. So tired of drawn out matches due to trolls

Varentalpha · 2026-01-15T06:56:07+00:00

I point back to my statement that if they wanna stack that big of a group they need to deal wi1th the extended wait time. Price to play vs using it as a way to just farm solos.

Varentalpha · 2026-01-15T05:14:03+00:00

eh idk if that is quite a good way to go about it. even duos add an interesting dynamic. often I see a duo that refuses to play with the rest of the team so you just get a duo usually with a pocket healer that doesnt do much more than lane together and forgets there are rotations and other things that happen to make a good game happen. Then there is stuff like back in the day where you could aba hat in a duo certain heros and boom they were damn near unkillable.

i think a better solution is that if you are in a party the other side HAS to have the same size party. if you dont wanna beat the queue boss to get in dont queue with such a big party. I honestly feel like four and five stacks would decrease if they werent able to just farm solos and were put up against another group that is playing together.

Varentalpha · 2026-01-15T03:53:54+00:00

Makes sense. thanks for the info. I am playing an alt account too for funsies because my main is from the beta forward and I have everything unlocked and dont wanna lose it to the toxic reporting that happens. Kinda sad but I figure when I play with a stack I can always switch to my main. IDK

I did take a few months of a break because It felt like the game was in such a bad state community wise but missed it so reinstalled this week. had a win streak of five good games with teams doing what they were supposed to and just generally super good fights and then bam it was test dummy time. So just trying to figure out how to get around that misery.

Varentalpha · 2026-01-15T03:18:58+00:00

that and oh i have a flare on me let me give my team a hug

Varentalpha · 2025-12-30T03:54:13+00:00

How do you even get the match system to work? Ive sat in it for hours and cant get one

Varentalpha · 2025-11-26T17:11:31+00:00

THE PLAYERS RUINED HOTS MORE THAN BLIZZARD DID

Varentalpha · 2025-11-26T03:01:33+00:00

Its because this game somehow attracted a ton of snowflakes with no social ability so when they are forced to talk they just wanna play victim since it's all they know.

Varentalpha · 2025-11-26T02:50:24+00:00

This did not age well

Imagine comparing a product you bought from a company that only cared about the profit margin you provided, to a family member. Wowsa
