The sheer number of noobs, idiots, retards, feeders, leavers, afkers and other motherfuckers in the beta is ridiculous. Playing Dota 2 right now is very frustrating, maybe 1 in 5 games has no cocksuckers mentioned above.
8 games so far, 1 ruined by asshole. But add me if you want to friends on steam and well get some games going?! zipfer is the name but I wont be playing until monday probably..NFL tomorrow
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

There already is a leaver punishing system in place, by sticking you in a lowpriority pool during matchmaking. As for the noobs, idiots, retards and feeders, i don't seem to run into them so much. Or maybe i'm just one of them ^_^. Either way, what's the point of getting frustrated over them, if the stats don't even get recorded properly ?
IMO it's a lot more frustrating having to deal with some dude raging and calling everyone retards for the entire duration of the game, rather than trying to explain the game mechanics to some newbie, regardless of whether he's feeding or not. Anyway, i can't wait for the training/trainer system Valve spoke about some time ago. I really think it has the potential of improving the Dota community.
Tbh, its not the community that scares the noobs away, it's the MAINLY due to the high learning curve.
Beginners arent even sceptible to flames, they are just running around being epic clueless, watching others fight, die to neutrals, browsing the shop for 10min. They dont even notice the chat, and if they do its like chinese to them. "Ss miss, mia bot, tp top plz, check roshan1 buy wards" They will quickly learn that it is not worth deciphering chatmessages. After being relentlessly slaughtered for hours on end, they will go back to CoD, where they can just spray and get some lucky kills.
The ones that do get the hang of the game after months are still considered very noob, these must face the relentless flaming. After a year these noobs become the so called faggots who blame everything on their team:"wth, no miss call? $&&@&$&" , "haha fuck you, i might be losing but I won midlane" <--- this one is hilarious "omg why no strength we need tank, worse team ever" <--- typical noob comment too.
If they wont become the above then they will become " i am mannered but will always take the flamebait, i will keep the chat alive by responding to every crap that comes out of the flamers mouth." They are no good either and are part of the problem.
After many years you will become a god (if by chance your brain hasnt melt down yet), no miss calls needed, try to lead your team (prevent ganks, buy wards, call miss), no more raging if team fails epicly, flames no hurt anymore, wont even bother to reply to them fukers anymore, just enjoy the game a losing match is still fun, deal with it, ending each game session with a smile.
Maybe this is called growing up, dunno, but these are rouhghly the types of players in dota and hon, with the tryhard noobs who alway blame others as the majority.
Typed this on my phone btw, so lots of typos prolly.
I do agree with most of what you said, but i still think the community plays a large role in scaring people away. For example when i first went from LoL to HoN, solo matchmaking would just be this "omg such a noob" fest. Ironically, not all of them were directed at me - me being the actual newbie. But for the entire duration of my short lived HoN "carrer" i have never stumbled upon someone saying " Hey there Aevis! You shouldn't buy that item, because the effects don't stack or because that other item is better on that hero."
Playing with friends is pretty much guaranteed fun, but if you're new to the genre, don't know anyone else playing and/or you've got some 4 a.m. craving for moba games and you won't be able to find a group of friends to play with... well you're fucked
Honestly i'm enjoying the noob-filled community in dota 2 much more than the professional-uber-gangsta gamers in HoN.
Edit: Don't know if you guys tried this but "mat_picmip 0" command improves the texture quality considerably for me. Just enter it in the console ( to enable, right click dota 2 in steam game library -> properties -> set launch options -> type in "-console" without the") Will post some screens soon.

Oh boo fucking hoo. Aren't you a poor set-upon soul? Are the big bad newbies ruining your precious game? A river. Go cry me one.

If you get invited normally you get 3 keys.
If you get invited by valve or some contest thing, then you get 2 extra keys to give to your friends. Just because you invite one of your friends using one of the 2 extra keys doesn't mean he's gonna get 2 extra keys of his as well.

I am just trolling. Don't worry.
I don't like this type of games, but I can see where its at and why people get addicted so easily
