3 months ago Valve said “Smurfing is not welcome in Dota” but its already like nothing has ever changed. The update that was supposed to reduce toxicity has also changed absolutely nothing.

Why is Valve even wasting its time with these things if none of them provide permanent solutions?

      As someone that’s returned from not playing for about a decade, most of my games have a smurf in them and it’s fucking unbearable.

      If I play with either of my friends, one who is high Legend with 5k games, and another in Ancient with 4k games, every game has 1-2 smurfs. It’s fucking unbearable and absolutely ruins the new player experience.
