Cheats ruin games? nooo, what a strange take!

And this will be just another thread that will be forgotten and overlooked because people will just say “lol just get friends and play in a party and u can do this too!” with missing the point entirely by a mile.

this is very common. more and more people are choosing now to play in party and grief solo mm players by holding them at gun point to pick them in draft, or they ruin.

just such a dogshit system that’s currently in play with 0 chance it’s going to get fixed cuz i feel like valve has given up entirely on this entire thing.

there’s only 1 chance this gets fixed, and it’s if big streamers actually get affected by it and they open the waterworks and somehow there’s an outreach to valve. but still, unlikely.

People with this many games are very common in high mmr games. Ive just given up on valve ever doing anything about high ranked games.

sometimes it’s about sending a message

immortal draft is literally punishment for being “good” at dota

So the video is unironically just highlights from the TI stream?

bruh. All that crypto scam shit money and you guys can’t afford a guy with a camera and a microphone?

Look, there is for sure something strange. I’ve stopped communicating in general, because I don’t understand the language of my peers in my pubs, so even if I write in english I am not sure they’ll understand, so whatever.

I’ve lost communication score by not saying anything, not writing anything, maybe sometimes using voice lines (the ones from the battle pass). I don’t really care, because this doesn’t change anything in my pubs, but I really would like to know why I am losing a score that i am not abusing per se.

Also; the fact that you have an unlimited amount of reports is crazy. I’ve had games were I report like 8 people, and they all get a “punishment”. Now you might say “wow, you are toxic, you report people for nothing, you deserve to lose your social score!”, but if they get “punished” does that mean I am abusing the system, or using it correctly?

I think people are not good judges of who’s toxic and who’s not. Also; let’s be real here. have you seen someone “punished” for smurfing? The only things I ever see people punished is Toxic Chat and griefing, maybe toxic voice every now and then. But never the others. Why is that? I’ve seen people with 400 games in 7.5k avg mmr games, but I guess they got that new razer gaming chair. :D

most sane average redditor take on the issue

When the letter patch dropped, I had a day off and wanted to play Dota.

I lost 10 games in a row. The games were insane, griefers, account buyers (300 game accounts in 7.5k mmr games), throws, overall horrible experience.

But.

LET IT BE KNOWN, THAT NOBODY BEATS ME 11 TIMES IN A ROW. Ended on a win. 1-10 is better than 0-11.

How about new players try being more nice HUH?

/s

yeah to get from 6k or hwatever mason was to 12k ud probably have to play 300games and not speak or do anything at all socially.

The funny part about these pubs is that these players would all go 40-0 in low ranked games, but in these high ranked games it’s SUUUUUUCH a different game.

Sometimes these skill shots are not about missing, but the enemy player out-thinking/moving you.

Curious to see how all the ex-SR players will play after leaving Mr. Babaev

Because in this meta supports do a million things that go unnocited but are quite complicated details.

Hard to shine unless you’re playing enchantress and you’re an impetus machine gun.
