Played a bunch of games in which my teammates didn’t say a single word even when asked and were constantly feeding and just afk farming.
Played a game where two party members queued together. One had to leave so he activated shared control over his hero and he didnt get an abandon. Even I was able to control him, but since he was basically afk, all the farm that he had couldnt be converted to items. The friend of the afk guy started talking shit and couldnt understand why it was wrong.
We obviously lost that game and another teammate wouldnt understand either of why that would make me upset as well. Getting to the point of saying he’d report me because I lost my lane against puck (I was lc) And other typical trashtalk about me being bad and bla bla bla.
Ive noticed this increase of weird games in which you feel you’re the only one talking and trying to get shit done. I dont mean to say that I’m better than all my teammates in all my games because I’m not, but it does feel like I’m playing alone and with no one to talk to.
Low divine bracket and 11350 behavior and communication score.
Edit: us east is the region I play in. But I mostly get matched with spanish speakers.
i started playing dota again 3 days ago. Played 6 games till now. I removed keys assigned to every communication option. Chatwheels, voicelines, voice chat, and even the team chat and All chat. I basically have no way to use these in a game.
I also don’t use any ping all game, i used it like 3 times till now only. No ping at all, no pinging my items or team or enemy items. No pinging ground, no nothing. Just no pings at all.
We have been complaining for the past month of the BS score being broken and every time we make a post here on reddit, valve guardians will downvote and trash talk us until the post is gone.
What you are experiencing is normal, everyone is scared to lose Behavior score. Once you lose behavior score, it is hell to get it back. I won’t risk losing behavior score to communicate something to my team even if it was important. To be fair, people rarely communicate well or respond to comms. So, it won’t matter really, it will only make the game feel more like singleplayer.
Many people won’t like this, but it is the reality. Accept it!
Bro I still talk normally and I’m at 11500-12000 behavior score constantly. Just don’t be stupid or a bigot and you’re going to be fine. Either people are way too paranoid or they know they’re really fucking toxic and have no emotional regulation skills that they have to gag themselves.
