The Ironwood Spammers

// September 30th, 2009 // Games, Videos

If you happen to be an avid DotA player, you’ll probably realize that the most frustating element of the game does not actually lie with the game itself but rather the people who play the game. Defense of the Ancients, like its name suggests, has a very simple yet indulging concept – Pick a team of 5 from a pool of heroes and face off against the other team while trying to defend and conquer the other base. Yet in such a simple game, it can be ruined by the players who play the game. Leavers, feeders, afkers, laggers, noobs, so to speak. I call these people spoilers.

Today, I will introduce a new form of spoiler – Spammers, or more specifically the Ironwood Spammers.

In my entire 4 years of DotA experience, I have never seen such a shameful and selfish act. Spamming Ironwood Branches to point of extreme lag, rendering the game unplayable for players without a decent computer. So then why did the abusers even do that? Shrugs, you tell me about it.

Laters.
