Over an hour? Gotta grab the bong...
when i take hits from the bonggg
I hope you put the food safe glycerin chamber in the freezer for an hour beforehand!
I almost choked on my ice cream when Rich went into the "You're a Dota player, if the sun touched your skin you would turn to dust like dracula" rant. Thanks Richard always for informative, factual information and opinions that actually have sound logic behind them.
I couldn’t give one microgram of fuck about DotA. Happy to watch 75 minutes of Richard talking about the derangement 👏
I fucking lost it at the "I have a controversial opinion". I never even downloaded DoTA and I still watch these religiously.
I've never played or watched Dota but Richard's videos about this game are probably one of my favorite topics covered on this channel. Haven't laughed this hard in past two weeks.
Returned to your channel recently Rich, loving the content. Always brings laughter to my day.
DiD tHiS fAt LoSeR jUsT rEaD rEdDiT tHrEaDs FoR tWo HoUrS..?!?!?!
Thank you Richard for keeping me sane in such a deranged world all these years by not getting gaslit into thinking this community insanity is ok
im a dota 2 player/fan
and all you said is 100% accurate
"furry storm spirit" is a throwback to the panda he used to be in WC3 dota. Probably the best skin in turns of meaning to the community by far
And skele king arcana :p
I did the same exact thing you did. I bought it immediately. All of these Dota 2 updates have been amazing. Color me surprised when I go to Reddit AND THEY'RE HAVING A FUCKING MELTDOWN. Bro these are the same clowns that complain that the Battlepass is too expensive and things are locked behind a Battlepass. What do these clowns want? Free never-ending updates? I mean, don't get me wrong; I wish they'd update the fucking base models in the game. But COME ON.
On my way home from vacation. Flihht cancelled. Figuring out replacement and sitting for houts at the airport.
But the stress and time flies by like a breeze when i can watch Richard Lewis' videos.
Thank you for your work.
Trust me, theres not a more disturbed community on the internst than dota.
You sure?
>Looks at Team Fortress 2, Steven universe, Dead by Daylight, Undertale/Deltarune and countless other communities under the Sun.
I'd wager even League of Legends has a worse community. If not that then it has been a few years since the name "Tibia" has been uttered. Look it up, people have legit been killed over being scammed of items in this old-ass german top-down 2D game.
ok i just watched the video, dota takes the cake and i take it all back.
@@kutagenit's not even close lol
@@vnkfrancis1328 None of these harassed several unrelated companies or doxxed people endemic to their communities. Like, _maybe_ Undertale classifies because there's some real lunatics in the "ship" side of things, but that's some extreme cases, not the norm.
I'm only a dota fan and watch you for this kind of content. Also I bought the 30$ pass to support the event in addition to team packs.
They declared war on DOTA Christmas!
This video genuinely made me cry with laughter. The image of Gabe using Cerebro really caught my imagination
I'm stealing "You're not a moron. You are watching me"
Gabe plugging into Cerebro to find the dickheads 😂 That is too good
I don't know man, it feels like your average esports fan in 2023 thinks being invested in a team or an esport in general is the same thing as just clicking a different stream on twitch. The same way they might watch Xqc or whatever. It does not take a genius to realize that type of mentality towards esports or the scene in general is not sustainable.
I play like a dota game a day and i bought the compe,it crazy how an entire fanbase can be this entitled and childish,wish valve would stop giving them what they want.
Love your content Richard ,keep up the good work
This video is hilarious, watching a grown man with graying hair crying, making baby noises and yelling profanity to a bunch of online threads is a treat. Its funny that you make fun of unsocialized terminally online redditors, yet you sit in front of a camera and throw verbal abuse at people for shit they post online for aliving. Oh the irony. It takes one to know one lewis
> It takes one to know one lewis
The absolute state of you.
@RLewisReports I mean, I'm not the one posting an hour and 20 minute vitriolic video. Pretty sure that's more evidence towards your state of being than mine sir.
I post a video laughing at morons that makes me money. You post a comment saying "takes one to know one" because you have a critical banter deficiency and nothing original to say. Thanks for the click you absolute mess.
pathetic really be better@@RLewisReports
Saw this one live, been a while since I had this good of a laugh, thanks Rich keep it up
'Christ forgive me for doing this to myself' - richard lewis calling to a higher power after in being in esports for 18 years.
I love playing dota with friends, love watching dota. As usual I agree with a lot of your points.
Look, we all know that Valve actually loves TF2 the most.
Not DOTA Christmas. Valve shall pay for ruining DOTA Christmas
1:03:56 They wouldn't even be able to get it if Gabe was to do that for an hour on a per person basis. LOL

For historical purposes, I'd like to point out that diretide was objectively trash and not fun at all.
What a goated video, 59:00 is such a clip.
I've been a Dota 2 fan since the beta. Watched most TIs, played on and off since I was a teenager and as I slowly approach 30 I have to tell myself that the lions share of these people on reddit shouting the loudest are 13 year olds who think they're vastly more intelligent then they are posting as if they're 30-odd. If I was proven wrong I would probably advocate for the removal of the internet from the common man...
As a dota fan since 2006. You sir are absolutely right. Dota players are spoilt and entitled HOWEVER what other esports fanbase gives 100+ million a year to support the esports scene. There is no other more supportive and rabid fanbase in the esports world and I will debate you on that any day of the week and win that debate 100% of the time.
Dota fans are definitely not deranged.
It is pretty easy to support one tournament when the game developer makes and sells content for that tournament.
Which other esport fanbase has the opportunity to contribute towards the prizepool of their tournaments? Never been an option in CS:GO? Congrats 😂
@@johanwillemse3419 the fact that you cant even name one of the dozens of attempts to crowdfund events in other games proves my point. no one gives a fuck about other games like dota fans give a fuck about their game.
@@robbo_ no one said deranged, maybe read what I said again
The "you destroyed my holiday" part just made me burst. I can`t believe people like that exist. 🤣🤣🤣
NO community is NOT Deranged.
And yet there are very few communities as deranged as dota’s
Do you think this year's Compendium was also to send a message to the pro players about their value to community?
Went and bought one compedium for myself and another for a friend that whined about it.
First few days the discussions were schizo. "Can't believe Valve is not supporting the pro scene" - "Then buy the Compendium and support it" - "No, there is nothing in there for me". Oh okay. Especially the "Whats the point of TI if the prize is so small". I dont know love, what's the point of any big tournament? Just being one of BEST TEAMS EVER and a few mil not enough money? We need fake prestige that is supplemented not by a good game, healthy playerbase and attentive developres, but by bloated prizepools in exchange for endless tacky hats?
What a blessed evening, 1+ hour banger vid from yours truly. Thank you
as a 15 year long dota fan Its sad to see that most of us only care about "hats" when some of us like the pro scene & care about the long term of the game. Valve was transparent this year yet it seems they only care for hats and not the game. sad not all of us spend a pretty penny to support the pros.
Could you even imagine one of the other valve titles getting the sort of support dota 2 gets, the players would be on their knees, there would be a choir singing about Gaben"s virtues
I can't believe they put a Richard Lewis Kunkka skin in the game.
Whenever i hear Rich hymn the term "medical moron" my suffering gets paused for a minute.
Thanks love

Good video Mr. Richard Lewis~~
Curious as to which game has a more toxic community?
League of legends might edge it out imo
Especially due to tsm fans
Idk if there is a equivalent of a tsm in dota 2
One of the goats of esports, others being thorin and monte
❤
Dota 2 is probably my favorite game of all time but the community can be downright embarrasing. I don’t even go to reddit that often anymore because the people there give me headeache sometimes.
I nearly choked on my drink at the x-men bit 😂
Glad Richard doesn't cover the cdl. My weak soul couldn't take it lmao
Rich, I was one of the people who paid to watch GSL and MLG and even paid for a couple ESL events back when they were doing PPV, I disagreed at the time that it was too early for PPV and I really wonder if we would be in this spot if people like yourself hadn't been against it then.
I agree that the prices were too high for most esports fans at the time but Im convinced that if they had found the right price point (GSL nailed it I think) then people would have paid it.
Unfortunately, we had it, got rid of it and gave the new generation of esports fan everything for free and now they wont pay for it at all.
47:00
I hate it. Why can't I keep on just playing.
Biggest mistake valve ever made was listening to r/dota2
55:04 lost my shit at this part
Last thing i expected in this video was a kerataconus reference, shoutout my fellow misshapen cornea havers
it's not just esports, look at the outrage over the youtube adblock issue, they expect petabytes of content per day to move through servers for completely free.
Imagine saying fantasy is your favorite thing about TI, but you are not willing to pay FUCKING $8.. Esports must be the only discipline where the people who love it, aren't willing to spend any money on it. Fucking madness
This makes me want to buy it out of spite, and I've never played dota.
1 hour + ... this is going to be good
I despise so much about the Dota community's entitled behaviour, and a lot of this video is very cathartic. I'm all in on this compendium, and not *just* because they made the Aegis trophy that I'm addicted to collecting substantially cheaper (I may be a part of the problem, but at least I don't post on this totally braindead subreddit). It's fine, and I'm having fun, probably because I too have the reading comprehension to understand Valve's blog posts.
To clarify on the "Quinn is immune" complaining that you mention around the 30 minute mark - pros *were* made immune from the consequences of the behaviour system for multiple years until the reporting rework. This happened in response to players being able to spam reports on streamers and get them muted and banned by the automated system. So, in this case, these claims were based upon something - Valve *did* whitelist DPC pros from the report system, and this was the source of a lot of the animosity from players on this issue.
no, it's not
you just made it up without even provide any legit source, directly from valve
some pro like quinn get the "immunity" just because the behaviour score system on immortal bracket not working as same as ur regular racket
for example : quinn goes AFK 1 games, get's reported by 4 people for his teamate but he will crush for the next 3 games and gets commend atleast 3 out of his teams for each match (9 commends totals), so the report will obviously get's purged by the commends
as long as quinn stayed on top 10 leaderboard, as long as his pubs WR more than 50%, he will always get forgiven from other immo player, because they dont have any choice rather than playing with the same people in immortal bracket
@@thebeautifulandthedamned572 I don't know what else to tell you other than that it was an extremely open secret after SingSing got report spammed and sent to LP every single time he streamed in 2016 and the pros around him demanded a way to play the game on stream without being instabanned. Because Valve wanted their system to be blindly automated and didn't want to make meaningful improvements to stop abuse like this from happening, that's the compromise on the backend that existed for years - they just made the biggest streamers immune from punishments. No, they didn't announce it, because they announce very little, but there's a ton of evidence both of the inciting incidents that got us to that point and the way things changed, you can look it all up quite easily.
I wonder how many Esports fans on reddit that have team flairs actually buy a Jeresey
Watching this 3 days before some poor Valve dev does a Reddit AMA on the 16th, the same day the first CS2 Pro event kicks off.
If it hasn't already been cancelled, it's going to be an absolute shitshow between pissed off CS2 fans and Dota2 fans.
They deserve every last bit of the CS2 complaints headed their way.
I dont know much about dota anymore since i stopped couple years ago but hearing you talk deranged dota fans at 1am in the morning and laughing like a maniac really is a good way to wind down the day but shit the blood is now flowing and I cant get to sleep.

I think you had a lot of great points to make but I do disagree with gambling sponsors aren't an immoral and dangerous practice. There's tons of studies that point out the dangers of gambling commercials.
I guess he didnt know about a lots of systematic 322 by russians and chinese players.
Dota christmas I am dying,these people are crazy.
We’re all partying rich. Definitely not inside during the summer mate 😂
If you treat fans like a statistic then you cant expect them to cough up 5 bucks without hesitation
Mans out here with massive entitlement.
Hey Richard, was it because she was pregnant or because she was bad at her job?
She was not doing great at her job that time. Kaci was once pregnant doing hosting one of the Ti's and doing a great job onsite hosting.
It was because she was a woman.
@@RLewisReports That's like saying 'Richard is a bellend" and then someone saying 'oh you only said that because he is a man'. No, maybe he is a bellend. Same here. She did a bad job. Maybe she did get called out 'more' because she is a woman but bottom line is she was bad.
Alternative video name: How the Valve stole Dota Christmas!
Did you mean blitzspanks?
If you play and love Dota dont go anywhere near reddit. I didnt even know people didnt like the BP. I have 10k hours in Dota and love it. Reddit is a cancer.
inb4 Valve shifts all of their Dota2 effort to CS2
Dota gets such good treatment from Valve because it's Gabe's favorite game, he plays it the most. I think it used to be TF2?? i forget, but I'm pretty sure they put out videos of him raving about the game and shit
Rich understands my people better than anyone else I know x Us Dota fans are gremlins who don't touch the game unless doing so will get us free stuff x Guilty as charged, though I'm the weirdo that does spend money on this game, so I'm slightly less of a goblin I guess :')
The dota2 community is far removed from the warcraft 3 years. People there have never seen the industry and the game under poor times. They think folks are going to play for $10m+ prize pools forever and anything less means the game is dead. There isn't a game that I got so much out of while paying so little than Dota. I came from league and you need to put down $350 to buy at least the relevant champions unless you want to grind many hours for them. That game is a mess, they only make skins and new champions to sell. Riot was at least smart to stop listening to redditors because of the can of worms that opened up in the past. Valve gives them everything and they're still unhappy lol.
I for one welcome the death of eSports. Can't wait for it to go back to it's roots. Small fan made tournaments. I quit watching eSports when it became the monster it currently is
I love dota it's one of the best games and esports ever, but the community (which I don't partake in) are morons to say the least.
Having said that, if the compendium is weak, the prizemoney will be bad, a lot of people buy it for the goodies and the cascading effect of it increasing TI prizemoney is just a bonus in their eyes. Which is scummy, DOTA esports is hype as fuck and should be supported.
I've never bought in to the "we are valves bosses" same with people who say such things to police offers and public staffers as well, weird mentality that in no way justifies behaving like petulent spoiled children. Especially when you buy the pass for the goodies and not to support the players...
You never bought "we are Valves bosses" why? Just because? Every single company on planet earth is controlled by its customers and literally all of them would bow to customers' wishes if the % of them was high enough.
Also Dota isnt hyped at all, much like League the only people who watch it are players who are invested in it (which is less and less as the game is slowly dying) and, for Dota, people who come watch for the absurd prize pools, thats it.
Also why tf should literally anyone be expected to prop up the eSports scene for no direct benefits? And how does not being a blind fanboy willing to pay money just to support an eSport scene equate to childishness? Everything you've said is ridiculous.
@@DebasedAnon I said I did not buy that being used as an excuse to behave poorly. Customers power is one thing and mob-mentality another. Companies should absolute strive to satisfy their customers, but that is a give and take relationship in my opinion.
I also said that dota esports is hype as fuck not hypeD as fuck, which means I think it's hype.
@@QenaitheCustodianGuard I mean your stance is based on some naive belief the community as a whole gives a single F about Dota 2's eSports scene, virtually all of them would gladly let it die if the choice was between that and spending money without getting anything in return and rightfully so if you ask me.
I think the situation going on here isn't "omg the dota community is complaining again" its completely separate parts of it. The people whining about everything on Reddit were a minority of clowns, Valve for some moronic reason listened to them and implemented their idiotic ideas which pissed off a different larger chunk of the playerbase which then complains and the cycle repeats.
Chunk A: whines about everything
Chunk B,C,D,E: are fine with the game
Valve: listens to chunk A and implements their stupid bs and in the process pisses off Chunk B & C
Chunk B & C: complain about said changes asking for more changes instead of to just revert the changes
Valve: listens to them again and pisses off Chunk D & E etc.
Reddit should never be listened to for advice on how to run a game, everytime it has been in recent memory the games actively became worse and started dying.
The exception to this rule is straight up broken stuff like with CS2 and its horrendously broken systems like subtick.
This makes me wanna become an unhinged redditor
Holy hell I'm so glad I never was interested in dota2. my god this is absurd haha
TBF , We spent around 6m $ on bunch of stickers that have no use and team wallpapers. i think thats more than any other community would have .
Mad over bear with a hat thats a positive to be fair.
Make Dota 2 ranked and watching pro games behind 30€ monthly subscription, so Dota players will have to go to work and trigger the fuck out of them.
I laughed every second of this video
Don't forget the adult actresses
i only have 200h in dota 2 so iam kinda trash so iam happy that i could got all the skins xd
I took 10 seconds to look at the the reddit profiles of some of the whiners highlighted in the videos, and of course a decent number of them are racist dickheads when they're not having a childlike meltdown over the compendium lmao.
Dota fans really are a cancer on the exports scene, but not all esports fans are like you describe, most of us just want good events that we can access, why should any of us give a shit about esports or pay a single dime when there's never an event we can go to, most of the world doesn't just live in north america, europe or china. why should we give a shit
Idk how 7.3.3 is anything remotely close to Dota 3, tf you smoking and whats your rank?
I"ll take 2 irl friends who are both immortals with well over 10k hours played going "this patch seems like a huge change but it plays like the exact same shit and arguably impacts the game less than widespread balance changss, I quit" over an eSports analyst commenting what a massive change for gameplay it is...
They have quit the game since just like a lot of the community hence the steadily falling player numbers.
It is without question a massive change to how the game is played.
@@RLewisReports Aside from Roshan (and the portal there as a result) what noticeable change has there been exactly? I'm not even trying to be snarky I haven't played the game for more than a match or two in well over 5 yrs but both my immortal 10k+ hr friends said the exact same thing: its the same shit even though on the surface its "completely different" and promptly quit playing Dota 2 entirely after a week or two of said patch.
To be fair they both were well on their way to quitting entirely after the terrible matchmaking changes that apparently made matchmaking at immortal horrendous.
Aaaaaaaaww hell here we go again 😂
Dota Christmas 🤣🤣🤣
If the sunlight touched your unwashed skin hahaha!

Richard Lewis: "I don't know why DOTA fans hate on me for no reason. ." Anyway, here's another hour+ long video of me shitting on DOTA fans.
He knows why. And what part of the video did the DOTA community not deserve?
Blitzspanks xD
I don't think the battle pass is legislation it's pure lazyness from valve. We used to get battle passes with loads of content as well as frequent substantive balance patches, and it wasn't just a TI battle pass, it's a bare faced lie we used to get compendiums for majors too. Now we get no content barely any balance patches, but that's still better than how most valve games are treated
You could not have possibly watched the whole video yet
Watch the fucking video first.
Cry is free.
Shitting on a community for views.
To play devil's advocate here; Most people who buy the battle pass itself aren't players who play all year round, thus most likely **not** seeing all the communication from Valve regarding to all the changes. And, as we all know, the only customers who are vocal are the displeased ones.
