6. Players who “AFK Fountain. End fast please.”

I’m not sure when this became popular, but it seems to have only been getting worse. You see, back in my day, people didn’t just give up when the situation was bad, we tried harder. We tried something different. Kids today and their need for instant gratification, it drives me nuts.

Okay, that’s enough old man talk (for now), but seriously, don’t be that person who simply goes AFK in the fountain simply because you believe the game is over. Who knows, you might just learn something in those last few minutes of the game when all seems lost.  

The enemy team might just make a mistake. You might just happen to win a team fight because their team pushed too far uphill into your base and their carry went down, allowing your team a chance to mop of the rest. Who knows, you just might be able to force the enemy team into some kind of base race.  

The point is, never give up you fiends. There is something to learn from every hostile encounter in Dota 2, but you’ll never learn anything sitting in the fountain waiting for the game to end.
