Same deal with dota. People are never taught how to play properly or just don't have the motivation to make themselves better players since the learning curve is steep.
I mean there's a ton of reasons why a player is bad. It's not just hon/dota either. It just happens to be more apparent in this kind of game due to the amount of teamwork required to win.

I'm actually more curious as to why a horrific player continues to play the game. It's hard for me to believe that a person is having fun if they get flamed and raped most of their games.

This.

It's funny, after years of playing Dota and about 5 months of playing HoN, I considered myself pretty good. Then I started to become friends with water/fresh and other competitive players and started specing their IHs, it really made me want to get better and learn the game aspects. I started reading articles on builds, teamwork, ward placement ect ect, and now I realize just how bad I used to be.

It makes me sad to join 1650+ games to see people that won't buy courier/wards because they're not the 'support', junglers attempting to jungle without stacking, people who don't know what pulling is, ect. ect.

I don't believe reading tutorials etc makes you any better. I mean, yes it can show you where to ward, but you don't get how important it is before you play the mid, and others doesn't wanna ward.
All i can suggest is play nostats if ur bad :P That way u don't ruins someones game

nah
play matchmaking if bad
and be sure to choose 1650 psr no matter what psr bracket you belong in
can't imagine how many times i've played with 1100s who choose 1650 and are convinced that pub teammates are the reason they are 1100
