Of course i try to communicate and relay information to my teammates during the game. I won't force it if they don't want to listen, because i expect the same treatment from them. Sometimes what might seems common sense to you seems absurd to others. That what i meant when i said we need to tolerate each other.
I remember one game where i play mid, this one support can't stop b****ing about me. It happened when he rotated to mid, he then pinged me to kill opponent mid. I ignored him, and because of that he flamed and mocked me throughout the game. Well i can understand him, because at first glance it might seem like a free kill. He was probably so frustrated, he can't understand why this mid player ignored such an obvious free kill.
It was a free kill btw, anyone in his position would get frustrated too. But here's my reasoning for ignoring him; i see both support missing from our opponent safelane. I decided to
respect our opponent and not gamble on the kill. We could have gone and killed that mid and escaped without a scratch, but that's not my style. Never ever disrespect your opponent. In that situation right or wrong is just a matter of perspective. People tend to judge who's right or wrong based on result. Our difference in mmr? almost 1000.
Think again, would people listen and watch that video if its not Aui_2000, but some random dota player on the internet? Probably not. I've seen Meracle, Yamateh and Jed getting flamed by their entire teammates in pub. Did you know that Jed a 7k player gets verbally abused by his pub teammates on frequent basis? Why? because everybody think they're entitled to express their opinion, and anyone who disagrees will be branded as someone who can't be criticized. When 4 players who're clearly on the wrong side disagree with you, not even your 10k mmr will save you from the flame/abuse.
haha I'm advocating for a system where we ought to give and accept criticism constructively. And truth is objective even in dota, someone is right and someone is wrong. It's not always clear cut (like in your case since that decision making was based on your opponents movements), but there are many things that are quite clear cut i.e. best item choices for the current game, whether you should afk farm after you've 5 man wipe with them having no buyback and stuff like that.
And of course, constructive criticism isn't flaming and whining about someone: Aui's argument is quite solid here IMO, he's saying that since you're all in the same mmr, the pinoy guy you're flaming as a noob might have better mechanical skill than you since you might have the advantage of teamwork. Everyone has different strengths that help them reach the mmr that they are at hence flaming isn't helpful at all.
What you say is true too, the fact is that everyone is behind a screen in Dota and decides that they are the best player in the world, and this means random flaming and egoistic criticism than doesn't tend to be the most reasonable and helpful. But if the community treats dota more like a game of 5v5 basketball, things would be much better since there'll be less ego involved and more objective reasoning.
