How Being A Pos 5 Turned Me Into A Better Person

Hi guys I'm Masked_Man and I wanna share my journey from a toxic player and sometimes person to a caring and positive player and person.
I've been playing dota for a long time and used to be good in game, well people where mostly bad, finding good guides was hard in game, web sites and YouTube and many didn't care about meta or patch notes but I did so grinding MMR was not really hard for me. Things were good but some irl stuff pushed me away from the game. I came back briefly for patch 7.00 to see what's up and ended up writing a guide for my favorite hero *Huskar* (Check out my guides if you're interested).
Talent tree system was not interesting for me and Huskar was **** in the patch so I got burn out quickly. I though I quit DotA for good. Until my reunion with my best friend Backstabber.
We haven't met in years and this amazing game that we all absolutely love and hate at the same time made us closer than ever.
We started in off lane with our Bristleback and Kotl combo, crushing lanes and games. Then I became a pos 2 and he became a pos 1. With this method we got out of Herald (Yeah I know. My skills have decayed and people are better now even telling someone to pick support is no longer equal to call his/her mother a *****. Thanks for the support buffs OSfrog) and Guardian to crusader. That was where I joined Backstabber in safe lane as a pos 5. To be honest having good supports in matches was rare af so I decided to be the good support. It was hard but I was determined. At first most of my supporting was warding the map and helping my carry in lane and try my very best to be efficient in fights. Then I realized supporting is more about making the game easier for my teammates and reducing their stress. So each game I wish everyone goodluck and crack a joke. I stopped being toxic even if our ***** *** mid Storm Spirit was 0/8, I would never be harsh to him. Sometimes a "Relax bro don't give up, here, have this camp that I stacked for you" can make him get his **** together and win us the game. If he don't, there's always a report option.
So anyways caring in game somehow turned me into a caring person. I realized it once my sister and my friends told me I'm being so "Supporting" and I'm my mind I gpt flash backs of situations the old me didn't give a **** about but the new me helped them out of it. Even though many of them were small things.
This is why I love this game cause it's way more than that. It's a life style and it shapes you in many ways without you knowing it.
If you have read till here ypu have my thanks. Good luck in your games. Have fun.
