[zionreturning]

doesn't make sense at all. i didn't break any rules at all. there is no rule rhasta can't buy heart first, and there is no rule rhasta can't use ult to farming ancient while team are not pushing. rhasta need exp and golds as well. i spent aveage 3000 golds for purchasing ward and sentry each game. period. last but not the least, i won't answer any of ent (group of same trash) comment with 1 word. talk is cheap.

[EdteOfChaos2]

Don't even pretend. You know what you did.
The community is small enough where we all know who each other is. You know better and playing dumb won't help.

@zionreturning

we're trying to help you get unbanned, brother.

Instead of ignoring the advice and suggestions, you should consider it strongly moving forward.

I don't know why you seem to believe people are picking on you. You're an active player and most games, you do try to play the game. But you seem unreceptive to any advice which is frustrating because you could be playing better than you actually are.

There is a rule you can't buy heart first as rhasta.... it's called "do not refuse to learn or cooperate." It's a general rule to protect ENT members from the 1000+ bad actions a player can cause. Getting heart isn't a bad item... if you got it as your fifth or sixth item. But as your first item, it does nothing to help your character other than you become a bigger punching bag. You should know by now what items to get... agha, refresher, travel, euls, and then a combination of whatever else fits the game. If Riki got lothars, are you telling me it isn't bannable? Obviously, poor item choices are bannable given the context that you are in.

Yes, you buy wards. I see it many times and I'm sure your team appreciates it. Farming ancients with Rhasta's ultimate is fine IF you have a large camp there that you stacked. You obviously didn't stack any camp so you're not getting much gold to begin with... then to top it off, the game is 40 minutes in. A team fight can happen at any moment that could decide a win or loss. It makes no sense to waste your ultimate to farm 200 gold there... If you stacked the camp and could get 1k gold, fine, it's understandable. I still wouldn't do it but you would at least have a stronger case.


The point of Mike suggesting to you to read that link that he posted isn't for your detriment. It's to help YOU become better. We gain nothing from you reading it other than the lobby possibly fills 5% quicker. Whether or not you get unbanned is up to you. Read it, try to make improvements, and become a better player. Or, ignore it because you're too stubborn and stay banned indefinitely. You're smarter than this, Mogul. Pick the first one and you can get back to playing by the time Mike sees your response.

@zionreturning – I understand this might come as a surprise, especially since the training materials and support systems we had during the glory days of Dota 1 and ENT are long gone. Unfortunately, today’s player base isn’t always the most patient or welcoming when it comes to helping others learn how the game was meant to be played.

The reason you feel targeted or receive rude comments in-game is largely because your playstyle doesn’t align with core Dota principles. Let’s break it down a bit:

In Dota, players are expected to pick a role - carry, support, initiator, tank, etc.. and choose a hero that fits that role. Rhasta for example, is typically played as a support. While top-tier players can experiment and flex roles creatively, that’s not the norm. Going for Heart of Tarrasque as your first item on Rhasta isn’t just inefficient—it actively hurts your team’s economy and overall effectiveness in fights.

Every choice you make, including item builds and how you use your ult (which has a long cooldown), has a direct impact on your team’s chances of winning. That’s why your gameplay decisions matter so much. From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t seem like you’re thinking about the team, timing or positioning when making most of your decisions and that’s where most of the criticism and negative comments from players are coming from.

I genuinely hope you take this constructively. We want players to enjoy the game, not be pushed away by misunderstandings about how it's meant to be played.

[zionreturning]

At first, I felt I should be grateful to you, but the more I got to know you, the more conflicted I felt."

This place is not fertile ground—it’s difficult for anything good to take root here. I don’t think anyone with clear eyes would mistake it for a land of peace. While I’m not set in my ways, I’ve seen enough to recognize what’s real. I sincerely appreciate those who have genuinely supported me. Fewer than 25 people or below have passed through here, and sadly, few have left a good impression. I say this with honesty, not malice.

Choosing to buy Heart wasn't an experimental move—it was a strategic and proven decision. In unconventional or chaotic matches, it often offers more value than Aghanim’s. When your team lacks the ability to initiate or coordinate attacks, and the enemy starts focusing you, increased survivability becomes crucial. Dying during an attempted initiation doesn’t help—it’s not bravery, it’s simply inefficient and often a sign of a failed execution. Living longer in such cases directly supports the team by maintaining presence and pressure.

Everyone has different levels of experience and combat skills. I fully recognize that item choice and build order matter—sometimes, they even determine the outcome of a game.

But let’s face it: 75% of the players here or above are just a scattered bunch of solo-minded individuals. This isn’t an international tournament. If you happen to experience a moment of real teamwork, consider it a blessing.

I’m not being pessimistic—that’s just reality, and we can’t change it.

So what’s the best approach? For me, it’s not about forcing wins in a chaotic environment or getting frustrated by poor coordination. It’s about finding a playstyle that suits me, enjoying the moments, and connecting with real friends who share the same mindset.

Staying alive longer, choosing different builds, trying what works in context—that’s not weakness, it’s adaptation. I’ll always be grateful to those who play with heart, not just by the meta.

In the end, it’s a game. So play your way, be smart, have fun—and maybe, just maybe, find people worth queuing with.

Last but not the least, It’s Not About Winning — It’s About Finding Your Style

[Astros]

Did this dude just use ChatGPT to get out of this ban?

[EdteOfChaos2]

He should get banned even longer for such a blatant use of chatgpt

[iambackk]

Mogul, you know i have nothing against you but they are right, i always been trying to speak with you nicely in games, all we said were suggestions, but now all we said have to be done. As you said "we have 25 players left", that's why we want to improve quality of games.
You can't waste 5500 g to make hot on rhasta, we can't explain you more and more this stuff, rhasta is not a tank, rhasta is a pusher and disabler. Aghanim cost is 4200 and giving so much damages to your ulti.

Last but not the least, It’s Not About Winning — It’s About Finding Your Style

You're an average player at best. Realistically, it would take you 20–25 minutes to farm a 5500 gold item—even if everything goes right: you don’t die and manage to last-hit at least 50% of your creeps. That’s not efficient. And while you’re busy experimenting, your team is carrying the weight.

You’re running around with a tiny mana pool, no meaningful items for half the game, and ignoring the team when they’re getting ganked. That’s because you’re solo farming like you’re a carry BUT YOUR NOT. Do you even realize that solo farming and avoiding fights is a privilege reserved for actual carry players??

When a team sacrifices space and tempo so a carry can farm, they expect serious returns. In your case? You might soak up a lot of creeps, but your impact is barely noticeable. The team gets nothing back. That’s the real issue and it’s why people get so frustrated playing with you.

You're taxing your team while trying to "find your style." Only top-tier players—those who have mastered the mechanics, understand the meta, and can think five steps ahead like chess grandmasters have the luxury to break the mold and play outside the box. You're nowhere near that level yet, and honestly, you've got a long way to go before you've earned that freedom.

I appreciate you sharing your philosophy on gameplay. You said you believe some things never change. My view is a little different: change doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right mindset, we can move things in the right direction. The problem is, trying to “find your style” in a small, tightly-knit player pool doesn’t fly under the radar. It sticks out—badly. With so few players, every game counts, and every questionable move gets noticed. That’s why people start blaming you for everything.

You're not a major problem player and I would like to unban you but your unwillingness to take even small steps toward improving this community and creating a better gaming experience is not acceptable to me. So where do we go from here, @zionreturning?

[zionreturning]

Mike, thank you for not completely dismissing me — but let’s be real for a moment. I need to speak clearly and directly.

I’ve consistently played as a support, mostly on Rhasta. My assist numbers are above average in most games. I buy wards, sentries, and TPs regularly — not just for myself, but to give the team map control and help us win. I TP to lanes early, I respond to team fights, and I rarely play selfishly.

So why ignore all of that? Why focus only on a few small mistakes or moments of inexperience, and use that to justify a ban? That’s not objective. That’s not fair. That’s selective punishment — and it feels like abuse of authority.

You told me you’d unban me. I followed your steps. I came to the forum. I PMed you. I even tried to share meaningful suggestions, like applying first-principles thinking (inspired by Elon Musk) to solve deeper issues within ENT.

I’m not asking for favors. I’m asking for fairness — and basic recognition of the effort and dedication I’ve shown to the team and to this game.

I still care about ENT. I still want to be part of making it better. But respect goes both ways. I’ve done my part — now it’s your turn.

[MIKEJONES]

Sounds good. As long as it’s clear that all players (including yourself) are expected to follow & align with the standards outlined in the DotA Gameplay Expectations & Rule Enforcement Guide (which you confirmed you have read) + ENT rules viewtopic.php?f=7&t=146716. Let’s avoid having to revisit this conversation again. Thank you for your time.

Unbanned.

[zionreturning]

Mogul, you know i have nothing against you but they are right, i always been trying to speak with you nicely in games, all we said were suggestions, but now all we said have to be done. As you said "we have 25 players left", that's why we want to improve quality of games.
You can't waste 5500 g to make hot on rhasta, we can't explain you more and more this stuff, rhasta is not a tank, rhasta is a pusher and disabler. Aghanim cost is 4200 and giving so much damages to your ulti.

I can say for sure — you’ve changed, even just a little, since becoming an admin. But I’ll never forget my first ban, which came from you and Mike. You blamed me just like everyone else, without full context — even harshly — simply because you couldn’t handle losing.

I admit that in terms of skill, you’re better than me. But my effort has never changed. My attitude and respect for the game have always been above average — far more than yours, to be blunt.

You and Mike abused your positions as admins and players. Instead of making the ENT community better like you claimed, you’ve done the opposite. And guess what? Ball doesn’t lie. The forum today is just like before or worst — the ones who leave the most toxic messages and complaints are the real cancer of ENT.

Some people might jump in and say, “You’re wrong. What about those who rage, destroy items, or go afk?” Sure, I agree — if someone breaks rules, they deserve consequences. But what I see more often is abuse. The ones I just mentioned — the bullies, the ones who threaten, provoke, insult — they go unpunished.

As admins, you should have the wisdom to see through that — or are you simply choosing to look away?

Now, let’s talk about my most recent ban.
One of the reasons? An anonymous report.
I waited 40 minutes for a response after asking for clarification. No one replied. I didn’t rage — I just decided to use my ult farming to get more golds, and gain a little exp. What’s wrong with that? I knew I could ult again in about minute. When the team was ready to push, I used my ult on time.

Why was this twisted during your review to make me look like I was throwing? Was that admin judgment? Or admin failure?

Then there’s the Rhasta item build. I went Heart specifically to counter your Spectre. Yes, it was costly — but worth it.
Don’t even try to deny it — you knew I picked Rhasta, then you picked Spectre right after. You waited for it.
You say I’m paranoid, thinking people pick heroes to target me? Then go check my games. Out of all of them, how many times do I play that way? Almost never.

And guess what? That Heart saved me more than once from your inhumane and one-sided ganks. You only see the 5500 gold price tag — but what about death gold loss? EXP loss?

Again — Aghanim’s is ideal for pushing, but not the only choice. Against your stacked team, survival was the only real option.
That’s not me “refusing advice” — that’s me having no other choice.

I’m not writing this to argue or complain for no reason. I’m writing this because real ENT players shouldn’t be treated like this.

Yes — people who break rules deserve punishment. But worse than that are admins who abuse their power, twist the truth, and ignore the real problems.

I will keep playing — because I love this game. But I will no longer stay silent while you keep rewriting what “justice” looks like.
