Question about DotA Rules

[nabo.]

Fountain farming is allowed and it is your risk to take whether you get tossed or force staffed. So yes, both allowed.

well goodluck force staffing me into fountain after i type -disablehelp fountain farming isnt so much for boosting stats for me. i just think its hilarious spawn trapping enemy team so im pumped to see fountain farming not bannable

you are not wrong. you are just an a....

I think its good that people who refuse to forfeit can be banned. But maybe it would be nice to underline that excessive fontain farming is still frowned upon.the current rule sounds like the fountain farmer can't be held accountable (but the other one)
I do respect ofc if people find it "hilarious" ( ) to do it to a certain point. but when you have genius ppl on your own team who can neither talk nor read (or so it seams).. it is annoying when your enemiy's greed has no end.. I imagine it hard to convince the other team to stop if you can't even threaten they will get reported

of course you can still report the not-ffer.. but I feel that it's still frusting.. and that by this new wording the fountain farmer feels vindicated to do so.


but i also feel if you are on a winning team and your team mate is not doing anything wrong nor morally questionable.. it should not be 100% allowed to get him killed (like when he is trying to end..and you still do it for fun).

short: it should be open for ban if you get your team mates killed for no reason (even if the game is won) or if you fountain farm too long.
But the scenario explained by hyo should imo ofc be allowed and even encouraged.


Fountain farming, flaming etc..to a cerain point is ofc a part of the game. But it doesnt mean we shouldn't try to promote good manners..right :>

Thats why @sparkles ... I mean, im not saying get them killed straight away ... but its kinda boring when u just raxed first lane , and ur trying to end the game, and ppl after first rax just run straight into fountain to fountain farm and "pump up" their stats ... Thats why i get 650 elo guy (terrible stats overall) the other day that laned with me (i was techies, he was spectre), he ended 20-1 ... and completely raped ... Cuz ye some of them are bad, but most aren't! they simply get fountain farmed a lot looking like they are terrible ... and when u find some 1600+ elo guys playing vs u, u end up fighting like complete newbies and think: Really? all that k/d ratio and win/loss ratio and you "play" like that? ... Thats why i still get force staff when this happens ... Even if fountain farm is allowed, thats just giving noobs a new reason to push their stats higher ... I woulnd't mind people doing like 1-2, max 3 in a game ... thing is people dont stop until they get stopped by any means ... and yes "-disablehelp" does prevent ur allies from doing it ... but luckily most of the fountain farm stats guy dont know it, so it works =)
