Last year/2015 on Friday night, saturday, sunday I would have anywhere between 5-9 friends in Dota on at those times. Nowadays its barely more than 1 or 2. I stopped playing for a huge part of this year too (too tired of losing).

Exactly. I've noticed the same thing. I don't know if it's just me but it seems that people got either too angry or toxic or they just gave up.
I won't really quit, but I've noticed that this game has a negative impact on me.
I'm tempted to quit just because i cant seem to win consistently anymore
I was able to win pretty consistently about a month or two ago, but now i just can't win at all
^
I feel tired from playing this game. Like really tired. And it affects my mood and emotions more than I'd like.
With that being said, I like change, but I'm not sure that I like where this game is going. New heroes are weird (Dark Willow is just retarded), new ranking system is old system with a nice hat(now if you archive higher hat you won't even lose it for next 6 months) and it seems that community is just getting more toxic with each day.
Not saying I'll quit the game or anything, but seems like this game is not as good as it was before.
All of that, plus the new generation of gaming is slowly evolving int he form of Arena Royals, like PUBG and Fortnite.

definatly dropped a bit. but its nowhere near as much as you'd think tbh.
Yeah, most new generations of players now play battle royale games like PUBG and FORTNITE. As to my friends I always used to play with as a teen, we have jobs now and are busy with life. We go way back from Dota 1 since kids actually
After nearly a year of quitting, I just got back recently to dota when the medal thing came out. That medal gave me a goal to pursue with, Probably I'll try to reach divine 5 (Goodluck with that lol) then quit again.

Wow it is almost halved since feb 2016
new ranked system had a huge positive effect on playaers online, but it still used to be higher couple of years ago, i think
^Same, it just makes people nervous and doesn't reward for shit. Lost 250 mmr 'cause of ruiners after calibration, climbed again and now 2 games with fucking idiots not popping bkbs in fights vs nyx and invoker, picking am into lc and dk mid into sniper (how the fuck do you even go 1-9 with dk) and then crying. My only problem is that dota is an addiction and nothing more, hope I'll quit too asap, hopefully after the Christmas break.
Big doto markets such as India and Philippines have inherent local ISP packet loss issues with the doto servers thus further reducing the player base in SEA atleast.
I think ppl just get bored and move on. Reverting to 6.88 would be a good experiment. Doubt anything will change tho
game is objectively shit and unfun, anyone saying otherwise is delusional and lying to themselves
Its just the same old shit in every game, a feeder, an afk'er, a troll. Their reporting systems is fucking useless, Dota probably has the worst punishment system out of all games.
Plus it became too repetitive, too boring for my taste.
Toxic community in game that merit is based on wining or losing and doesn't have anything as reward like others. For 2 years I mostly pay for fun (BP cosmetics streamer) instead of play for fun at least.
I ididnt stop dota but i cant replace days when im in friends house smokin weed us 5 + or go out in town for some good food or party ...
i dont have a triple digit mmr account, its 1.2k
and i actually played 2-3 games

get reported by 4 players because you dont run down mid nonstop to fight gladiator mode and die lmao
no matter what you do people flame and rund down mid nice community
playing single player games and strategy games with friends feels like heaven
Many of us don't play the game because we love it, it has become a habit, I once heard singsing say that he plays the because he isn't addicted but because it gives him good money, sometimes Dota feels so rewarding, most of the time we are full of regret on not spending our valuable time on other stuff
dota isn't fun anymore for me, there's no point in playing it.
there was a time when dota was fun for me, at first it was because i was playing with my friend
but after he quit i started tryharding to grind, so that gave me some enjoyment, but after a while even that became boring so i stopped tryharding.
Then i started coaching people on how to git gud, but after a while i realized that half my students don't want to learn but just want a holy grail that will make them 10k overnight, so that made me quite mad so i stopped coaching most people. just because i got from 1k to 5k in about a year doesn't mean i did it because i got lucky nor do i know a fucking secret, i just analysed a million replays and trained a billion hours in lobbies to perfect my shit.
So then i started smurfing, just doing random shit at low mmr, getting 1k accs boosting them to 4-5k and then trading them back for new 1k accs. After a while even that became boring.
Right now there's basically nothing in this game that is fun for me anymore. And whatever is left that is fun is not even comparable to the things that annoy me.
all i gotta do is figure out is what will i do with all my 3-5k smurfs that are just doing nothing and then i'm uninstalling permanently.
IDK about you guys but I still love playing dota.
But yeah many of my high school friends have either completely stopped or just play once every 2 months. College and all that. Whoever said the part about "growing up", probably the most right lol
games you loose: awful, make you feel bad
new:
games you win: also awful, make you feeld bad
why am i even playing
get 30 low prio games and F behaviour score
never play again
If you mean me by any chance, I didn't quit Dota I'm just taking a break from it. I'll definitely start playing again somewhere in January-February 2018. 1 of my good friends will get his new pc around January-February aswell so I'm kinda waiting for him aswell so we can go back to those good times playing party ranked mm.
During 2013-2015 there were like 15-20 guys playing from my friend list, every night, and during the weekends I used to see 6 or 5 full parties stacks. Now I see between 2-5 players playing and most of them just play solo rank. There's no fun at dota anymore, It's just a vice, and I feel that there's no point to keep playing it, only if I get a party with friends.
i didnt mean that i get F behaviour score naturally
im abandoning games until i get f score and 20+ lpq games to stop me from ever playing again
Yea for some reason 2015 2016 had a lot more people playing. Friends were playing and that's when I started too.
i cant wait till everyone also quit this forum not just dota2. The world would be a better place
i used to feel quite excited every time i reach +500 mmr, but after a while i just lost that feeling.

Quite a good amount of my friends I have on steam quited Dota, and the ones that still play the game aren't as active as before.
Is it just me or the game is slowly dying?
