Yeah, that was a while ago.

in Dota, you need to play with full squads, but if that's not possible, it's easier to play some MMOs.

MMOs and co-op modes are not viable, but session-based games are. It wouldn't be that difficult to gather 5 people if they weren't so picky.

Because everyone needs to make tea, have a meal, do something else, and so on, and eventually get together. All my experience with playing anything cooperatively, except for duos, has been quite disappointing in this regard.

I have that. Also, there are various Dead Island games, Left 4 Dead 2, and somewhere I have an NFS game, plus a couple of completed smaller games, like a co-op game for three players.
The most annoying thing is that no one ever wanted to play Sega's Chaos Engine with me.

Well, I don't know, I've played a lot of WoW and Diablo, and I've never had any problems if the people are decent and organized. There were, of course, occasional breaks and tea breaks, but that's normal; every hour or two, a short break is fine. However, if you're talking about games where you play a match for 15 minutes and then leave, that's not really my thing.

As far as I remember, this problem often occurred with multiplayer games.

We tried to gather a group for Dofus once, and we even managed to get a few people together... But everyone was running around in Incarnam at different speeds, and in the end, we didn't really manage to get a proper group together.

You need to play Dota with full parties.

Why? I completely disagree.

To avoid unnecessary arguments and to have the opportunity to assemble a balanced team where each member can demonstrate their strengths, which will become apparent during the games, and so on.

There will be no arguments if you mute your random teammates.

This is in an ideal world, but in reality, you will lose to hardcore players and realize that it is all your own fault.

The community is decent and well-organized.

Here lies a small problem, and I don't deny that I am also a part of it. For example, long sessions playing turn-based games with people tire me out a lot. But that's not the point, and the problem with mob and similar games is that they have a free structure. It's not necessary to play for 15 minutes and then leave, but you can set aside a certain amount of time for it and continue playing even if someone from the group drops out for some reason. Co-ops clearly require more time than the "play/30 minutes" format, and MMOs are a whole different story. I would try it if there was something decent, but again, I find it difficult to imagine coordinating in them.

Dead Island, Left 4 Dead 2

My favorite (MMO).

But communication in such games is necessary; at least sometimes it helps, although not always are teammates adequate. If you have your own team, there will be no problems.
There aren't that many hardcore players; many are quite average or weak. There may be only 2 strong players out of 10.

My favorite (mm).

They forced us to buy it!

A strong player is a very subjective and relative concept.
