Hello there, I'll certainly take you up on that offer!

Are there any genres that prove especially challenging, and are there any companies/titles/communities that stand out in combating them challenges?

High dexterity games like first person shooters are particularly challenging for many people with physical disabilities. On the other end of the spectrum are turn based games like chess and MTG Arena, that can be done by practically anyone.

To my knowledge, Psyonix is working together with AbleGamers to optimize Rocket League for adaptive gear, like the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Also, recently LogitecG started organizing Rocket League tournaments for disabled gamers with total prize pool of $50k. Honorable mentions go to SpecialEffect, Intel, Razer and a handful of smaller developers.

It used to be Lich, but then Valve removed Sacrifice. Ever since I've been playing whatever feels right for the situation. That said, I naturally tend to play annoying heroes. I think a close second is probably Venomancer.

I loved hearing about this team! Wish you guys all the best and hope to hear from you soon. I have a couple of questions, what is your favorite dota hero? also, if you could remove an item from the game, what would it be?

I’m not familiar with esports, but has your team bagged some big wins?

This is really awesome. Hopefully, news of your team will really help shine a light on the need for developers to make games with controls that are accessible to everyone.

Not OP but I assume they mean the Guinness WR company, not the Esports team. Based on some of the other comments I've seen on reddit, it seems the have gone down hill and have some shady practices.

>Being a for-profit organization, Guinness seemed to have had no issues with shamelessly and unapologetically selling out its devoted audience. With the age of the internet inbound, Guinness was more than willing to start prioritizing marketability over credibility.

after reading the title of this post, i scrolled past about a full page before the name of their team clicked in my head, causing me to laugh. then i felt a little guilty about laughing, but i imagine that was their intent with the naming of their team (making people laugh, not making people guilty, i should clarify)

Are there many other esports teams for people with disabilities? This feels like a pretty niche record.

Incredible stuff. Everyone deserves to enjoy the accessibility of games. Glad to see you guys are making headlines with that ideal. Keep it up!

I hope the pun/wordplay in their team name was unintended.

What a dumb "world record" to give out.

Good for the people in the team, they do good work! Nothing against them. but Guinness world records is such a meaningless thing these days.

Way to make people feel less than human. An award for making a team? Jesus fuck this is gross.

As some has pointed out, sound cues. However, SF in particular has an excellent 3d sound stage. Blind people can hear and identify everything that happens in the game, including how far away the opponent is standing.

For sanity's sake, never cue alone :P

However, to answer your question. There are a couple of things I enjoy a lot in DotA. Bullying the lane, pushing lanes and big team fight ultimates. So either Tidehunter, Venomancer or Jakiro...depending on the situation.

Hi, I’m a physical therapy student and would love to get involved with the team somehow. My two greatest passions are gaming and physical therapy so seeing people be able to attain my personal goals is amazing.

I think in this case it’s a successful attempt by Guinness to make headlines for their own benefit and to bring awareness to the idea that these groups exist. I’d like to think someone there has a disabled friend/relative and they pushed for this award to be given.

You’re spot on that the records are just goofy nowadays though, but they can serve a purpose since new “world records” almost always make the headlines.
