In the game DOTA 2 (Steam) there is a discussion about the caster Austin “Cap” Walsh: He has now used his personal contacts with Valve to permanently ban a YouTuber from DOTA 2. The community applauds, some see the YouTuber “RawDota Henry” as one of the most toxic players in DOTA 2.
This was the scene:
- The caster Cap was privately in a game with DOTA 2 and his team lost, and lost significantly. One of his teammates was the YouTuber “RawDota Henry”.
- As reported by Dotesports, the game was essentially lost for one of the teams after about 20 minutes: The opponents had 30 more kills. RawDota was so frustrated with the course of the match that he dropped and destroyed his items on the ground: This is considered a gesture of a toxic player in DOTA 2: “I’ve given up, I’m not doing anything here anymore.”
- Then the viewers of his stream saw Cap taking note of the player’s ID and identifying him as “the infamous HenryDota”. He then said: “Goodbye, Henry.” (via youtube)
The next day comes the permanent ban
What happened next? Apparently, the caster sent the player’s ID to a friend who is a developer of DOTA 2.
Now it was thought: Well, probably the YouTuber will be placed in a “Low-Priority-Queue” to serve his penalty.
However, a day later the player faced a permanent ban of his account. Apparently, Cap utilized his contacts or requested a favor, which ultimately led to the player being permanently banned.
How is this being discussed? In the community, the discussion is divided:
- Some say that Cap has “abused his power” to manually have someone banned. This is considered “abuse of power”.
- Others, however, thank Cap. They find the YouTuber terrible and his streams show signs of mental illness. He has always been an “ultra toxic player” who has evaded bans and smurfed: He is one of the worst players in DOTA 2 and does not deserve anyone to defend him. Apparently, the majority of users agree with this position.
