Power Abuse in NADota -Bulba-
In light of all the recent events I want to bring up some more past experiences that still happen to this very day.
To start off with, I thought this guy was my friend at the time, we'd talk sometimes after games and they'd be about strategies or what not. This was back in 2016-2017 during inhouse leagues. I found out that he would talk to the other elite's of his click in Nadota at the time and bad mouth me constantly. This surprised me at the time because everytime we'd talk he'd be friendly and supportive and when I brought up these accusations he'd say that 'he never said those things'.
I start doing some digging with some close friends and found out he would always say bad things about me behind my back and act kind to my face. I instantly removed him and felt betrayed by him and all the people he had in his group. Whether that was his friends/teammates/etc, because I wanted to be friends with some of them, because in NADota it's not what you know it's who you know. It's a sad reality of the fact back then and it piggy backs off of what Purge said when Grant would bully him and others as well.
Imagine now a days rank 200-1000 players wanting to be better and go pro. They are constantly fighting a person like this. (There are many people who are abusive in Dota Scene.) Most are trying to get better but their experiences are ruined by people like Bulba.
The worst part for me is the fact that it's a trauma that has happened in the past and when old wounds are opened up they don't go away. They stay around festering in your head until you either let all these negative emotions eat you up or let them go. Just recently these old wounds were brought forth again a few months ago when I was done with schooling and decided to play a Dota game again. I found a game with Bulba and he started flaming me and tried abusing his powers to get everyone in the game to report me and go next.
Another Incident happened when he called 2 girls that were my friends at the time back in 2015-2016 a bunch of B's and other names when he was drinking at an afterparty. I Don't have any other stories that I've heard from females but with this just alone, I know he's not a good person.
Bulba's character is one of the worst possible in NADota and he always abuses his powers and belittles people to make himself feel better and superior. He always will find someone on his team to blame and make the scapegoat.
The cycle of abuse needs to stop for females and males. Whether they want to be professionals, play casually, play with friends, or anything, we need to stop abusive people and get them out of our community.
