I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the game coordinator for a joke wasn’t a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable low MMR populations talking about how dota is the only source of support and humor for them on a loss streak. Toxicity and pepega aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.



You can say I’m being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I hate the game and I hate this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with anti-gamerism and our nightmare reality all day, and all-chat flaming is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn’t a good feeling to find this game closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that’s laughable or pathetic. But for me, it’s true
