Dota 2 Streamer Mason on League of Legends: "This game is dogshit"

Mason "Mason" Venne, a high-profile Dota 2 streamer, has been making headlines due to a hilarious way Valve banned his account.

During the release of a new patch update, players received a "gift" from Valve. However, when he opened his gift, he found his account had been banned.

Venture to a new title

After receiving his ban, the streamer appealed to Valve to revoke the decision. He wrote a long and emotional message on Reddit. The next day, Valve responded to the appeal and informed Mason that the ban would remain on his existing account. However, he was allowed to create new accounts and play Dota 2 again.

Following the incident, the streamer who usually streams Dota 2 on Twitch, decides to switch things up at his next live stream. Mason started to play League Of Legends, Dota 2’s arch-nemesis. However, after playing the game against bots and dying to them, the streamer quit the game.

In a traditional Mason fashion, he even expressed his thoughts on the game by calling it dogshit before quitting the game. He commented:

“This game is dogshit, I am quitting this game. This game is so terrible I refuse to play it.”

A Path Of Redemption?

The streamer later switched to playing World of Warcraft and delivered a heartfelt message to his community. He took time to reflect on his past actions, acknowledging that he deserved to be punished.

“I am not trying to be like a good guy. I broke Terms of Service. Someone played on my account for me, and they tried to boost my behaviour score. I did break the rules, and I should be punished.”

However, he expressed concerns about the severity of his punishment and believed that a permanent ban was too harsh.

“I think I should be punished. I think a month is very fair.”

Taking his words, the community believed he would abstain from playing Dota 2 for a month. Yet, in a recent stream, the player was playing Dota 2 with a new account.
