Dota2 players can be easily divided into many types. In the match, you can meet both stubborn players who always show their character. Often you can run into aggressive and toxic personalities. And how difficult it is sometimes to meet cheerful or just good-natured players. But do not forget about that small part of gamers who play for the benefit of the team, and not themselves.
Today we're going to take a look at the different types of players that can be found in the public or ranked matches.
Feeders
Everyone quite often met feeders. The very concept of "feeder" is a player who "feeds" the opposite team with experience and gold at the expense of their deaths. However, feeding can be unconscious or conscious. In the first case, the player may begin to feed enemies unconsciously due to lack of experience in the game. This phenomenon can occur in pubs and at low ratings. In the second case, the feed is due to poor communication, poor play, or simply player toxicity.
Toxic

No wonder the community in Dota 2 is considered the most toxic. Surely each of us met such people in matches. No matter how well a player plays, does not play his role 100%, a toxic player will always find something to complain about. So what is Toxic? The word toxic itself means poisonous. And such people do what poison the atmosphere of communication and spoil everyone's mood.
Teachers
In Dota 2, due to the lack of a normal tutorial, you can often meet beginners. They do not need to be scolded for a bad game - you only need to remember yourself and your first games! But there are also good teachers, which is so rare to find in the game. And although there are few of them, they will always come to the aid of a beginner, prompt, advise and wish good luck in mastering the game.
Coordinator (Captain)
Coordinator or team captain for one game. It is very difficult to meet such people, but playing with them often leaves very pleasant memories, even if the match was losing. They make smart calls, manage a team of people they don't know. Such people deserve respect, because Dota 2 has become a team game in recent years, and it is much more difficult to play without a captain.
Dead inside

How about without the dead inside? This type of players is distinguished by aggression and has absorbed the most delicious features of toxics and feeders. You can recognize them by such factors as: Anime on the avatar of a depressive character, with the same depressive nickname. Most often, such individuals prefer to play the role of Carry or Middle.
Laid-back
An average pub player or a low-ranking layman. A person who entered Dota 2 just to play and to relax.
Drinkers

Drinkers - evolved laid-back. Winning is not their main goal. Such a person plays to the best of his ability and does not burn from lost games. A kind of couch expert who wants to enjoy the game.
Smokers

Smoking not only ruins health, but also harms 9 players at once. Such players accept the match, and then go to smoke, leaving 2 teams to wait for the smoker to come. They can also pause in the middle of the match and move away for a smoke.
Silent hermit

Dota 2 is primarily a team game, and communication is often the main key to victory in it. Silent people can be found in almost every game. These are players who may not show aggression, not ruin the matches, but at the same time be silent and not react to your calls.
Smurfs

Smurfs are one of the diseases of Dota 2. And no matter how Valve tries to fight them, it does not bring results. And even the new Overwatch system had practically no effect on their number. Smurfs are people who play on low ranked accounts for leveling up or for fun. Basically they are very toxic people who do not take into account players below their rating.
Accbuyer

This type of player is closely related to the aforementioned Smurfs, as accbuyers tend to use their services the most. accbuyer is a person who buys an already upgraded account. Such players can often be found in ranked games. And it is quite easy to calculate them: most often they do not know how to play, make the stupidest mistakes for their rating, and at the same time they have an expensive inventory of cosmetics.
Forester
This type of player will go into the jungle in any situation to farm stacks of creeps from the first minute. And no matter what happens on the whole map, such players will not leave the forest until they finish farming the last slot in the inventory, but often, by this moment their Ancient has already been demolished.
