Well, people I liked to play with:

Joxuu - always tried crazy 'new' invades and was just chill. Never complained about winning/losing in a sore manner.

Penguin - just funny for whatever reasons. Always played for fun, great to talk/listen to.

False - I mean, this guy is just so good at funny trashtalk. He's half-serious and half-sarcastic at the same time. He was always a good mixture between the two that even when we were having a bad game, he always made it seem a little better. Famous words to me: "You're an ***." Always cracked me up.

GMD - Waaaaaaay back in the day, but I liked playing with him for similar reasons to False. I mean, back when we all had MOBAFire TV, one of the first episodes highlighting MOBAFire inhouses had him Flash-Gold card at level 1 to him being first-blooded.

I mean, trying hard is fine, imo, but the important thing is not to worry about winning/losing. It just seems a whole bunch of people don't have that attitude of late. I mean, I'm pretty sure I've lost the large majority of my inhouse games, but I also enjoyed playing the extreme large majority of my inhouse games.

Sure, part of my soul flew away in terror whenever I saw Vapora was in lane against me, but it was never not-fun to play regardless, because I never really worried about winning that much.

That will always be the epitome of MOBAFire TV for me, not the whole competing with other channels ********.

Anyways, likewise, I enjoyed playing with you as well, Sirell.

That reminds me when they were trying to explain poor play options (mine for instance) from a competitive or high-ish elo point of view because they were trying to avoid going "that was really a trash idea" :P

Like when I ulted with Rumble a low-ish HP Khazem, he goes into a brush, I go in, die to five people and they were like "Wow that ult was...huh...a really odd option. What is he doing? Why is he going to that brush? Perhaps he has a plan". No man I was thirsty af :>

I think the evidence for me that I like inhouses is simply the fact that I didn't touch the game post patch and only played arams and 1-2 normals with moba people after inhouses. I hate the game as it is but I miss the people making me laugh so..

To be honest I don't know why it really happened, because I wasn't in there in the first place. I just want people to stray on the topic by creating an off-topic about Miss Fortune, making people to calm down on something. I don't like people fighting in the Internet. It's like you're throwing rocks everywhere and the people who got hit will throw rocks also. (I'm guilty)
The whole reason everything explodes like this is because nobody talked about their issues. You're merely hindering people blowing off steam. If you don't like it, there's a bunch of other threads around. Wasn't pointing at you specifically in the first place though.

The last game was pretty awkward with just me and Ezreal (I think) talking from time to time but every time failing to understand what the other was saying ^^'
********'s a pretty good fertilizer

the whole thing about making a poll whether to have fun/tryhard in inhouses is a stupid idea imo. sure some ppl might be playing just to relax and have fun times not worrying about winning/losing, but me for example and prolly some other ppl try to win whether they are playing their mains or draven mid against vapora's talon or latest legen'd garen mid.

there are just too many variables to have perfectly balanced games and even tho u can make a couple really obvious player swaps to reduce their amount it won't really matter much cuz there are still just too many.

I haven't been participating in inhouses lately so idk for sure but since hosts' competence has been questioned I think it's everyone's individual choice whether they are going to play inhouses and possibly experience the usual frustration or do something else with their weekend evenings. We aren't in kindergarten so no one is obliged to cool the heat between ppl but imo if u dont like something then just leave and come back when/if u are willing to work out ur personal problems with certain ppl

Healthy mix of competitive spirit, trying to have fun and being considerate of others is all it takes to make inhouses enjoyable for yourself and others in my opinion. I don't have anything to say about referee issues as I haven't been unhappy about referees and it's not my place to say anything either as being referee is the last thing I'd do because I wouldn't have time to make coffee otherwise.

Won't be there for next inhouses but hopefully u guys can work this thing out.

I'll go ahead and contribute hopefully we will reach 17 pages so I can post this on reddit for karma.


1) To start a game takes forever ,and I don't mean "We don't have enough people qq why we wait soo long man...", I mean, balancing and just starting the game takes forever. So I can see how some people are already annoyed before the game even starts.

2) So much trashtalking that isn't playful. Mostly people being toxic.

3) How players treat inhouses. Some take it serious some do it to troll. Mix them together and we have people that are mad at people for not being serious. And people who are mad that people are taking the game too serious.

4) Post game moaning makes me feel like I am in some kind of weird porno. Hell sometimes I get when I left pornhub open, since I can still hear people moaning during the game. But pornhub was never open...spooky af mang.


I my opinion we need an inhouse etiquette on how people should act or how serious inhouses are. Maybe some jimbos will be saved and some salt can be used for cooking instead. Also if you guys could continue this discussion for 7 more pages I can post this on reddit for that sweet karma.

I remember when Utopus brought that **** here in EU vs NA. I was captain, looking at the drafting chart thinking, 'what the **** is this ****?'

From what I remember, it's definitely true that we can speed starting games up, certainly. It's just that people are often not on the ball and everyone's actually chatting about off-topic stuff that some of us forget that we're waiting to start a game and the people that didn't forget but were waiting specifically for the game to start get a little annoyed.

But truthfully, I think the problem goes deeper. People are just looking for different things in Inhouses, most notably wanting to win and wanting to have fun without caring about win/lose. Those who want to win sometimes end up losing and get annoyed. Those who don't care about win/lose just tell them not to care about winning and they get even more annoyed; those who don't care about win/lose feel annoyed at them and consequently the whole thing just spirals out of control. Of course, there are other variables at play and the details about who feels what, etc, might be different, but I think this model is accurate on at least a basic level.

Then there's this whole matter of some bad referees which I have no real knowledge about, so I'll refrain from commenting on that.

Basically, as long as there's a conflict about what people want out of Inhouses, there'll always be conflict and drama. Right now, it seems like a matter of hosting an Inhouse and hoping for not the worst result (provided this apparent issue with referees is settled).
