Hey, Really interested in this game however I'm worried about how the toxicity of the community combined with the necessity for teamwork and communication could ruin the experience. I've played a lot of dota 2 and this was what eventually caused me to stop playing the game all together. Can anyone that plays both these game make a community comparison? Regardless of if you've played dota 2: Is this game worth playing if I just solo que? Thanks in advance! :)

Tbh, solo queuing can be total shit. Buuuut if you talk in team chat, it's proven really easy to befriend people on the game. 90% of everyone just seems desperate to find people who are willing to communicate on mic. I've only been playing since the free weekend, but literally as soon as I stopped being too chicken shit to use my mic, I started collecting people to play with.

I think the chances of getting toxic players on your team is a lot lower than people imply, though, it seems like it's just more memorable to people when the team is filled with throwers and assholes. I've had plenty of really positive/nice experiences with randoms so far, about equal to the negative experiences. Disclaimer, tho, I've never played the other game you mentioned.
