I thought the comments were parodying the HoN community?

Funny thing is, it happened for me in HoN. My first 3 games were with/against a clan that helped explain the game mechanics to me. They didn't just newb bash, there were even numbers of them on each team. Was a lot of fun.

This was punctuated by the next 97 games being about how much of a raving homosexual my playing skills made me. According to those games, I love the penis something fierce. I'm not even sure what metric they use to determine that. Actions per minute?

I'm used to it. Starcraft, Diablo, WoW, Warcraft 2, and Warcraft 3 were all filled with the same kinds of people. I can see how it would be a turn off for others.

I'd play the part of the beyond-clueless newbie.

"Hey guys...why won't my Wiimote work for this game?"
"Guys...how do I attack stuff?"
"How I mine for fish?"

Also; just play League of Legends. The community is much better and you can play practice games against bots.

I would join you in a new york minute.
