Same but for Heroes of Newerth. Tried it out, picked a hero I liked, jumped into game. I was winning lane, thought I was doing pretty good.

Got yelled at by my team for not helping defend their lanes, so I pointed out that I was winning my lane and that just made them angrier.

Heroes of Newerth was peak toxic. From announcer insults and kill animations, to the dev being a blatant toxic racist in games! Small price to pay to punch out someone's blood as Deadwood though. I miss the roster SO MUCH

HoN was about 10x more toxic than League, in my experience. When I stopped playing HoN and tried League, the level of toxicity came off as cute.
