  @AmmarAlassaf6 @DOTA2 Since 2023 my comms score dropped from 12K to 7K. Muted mic, stopped texting, tried to be nice. After 2 years I’m only at 7420. This system is just broken.

  @lekkersvdekkers @OfficialNewell @DOTA2 dota2's language barrier in pubs is real — auto translate in-game would honestly fix 80% of the comms issues in ranked

  @MohammadMash99 @DOTA2 I would calm down if the game would actually work at all after the patch. Updated everything that is possible to update, reinstalled the entire game, yet still I cant even "Demo" a hero without the game crashing to desktop without as much as an error message.

  @DOTA2 But smurfs and account buyers are still welcomed...Either ban them or fix the matchmaking system...

  @DOTA2 I have a problem. Every time I play Dota. 1st match is a lagfest. Insane lagging. Ping 200+. The next match ping levels are normal 20-30ping. I tried to restart, reset the router, restart the game, and PC restarting, verify game files. I'm still lagging in 1st game.

  @TorteDeLini @DOTA2 you cant solve smurfs problem without MMR system change. We need vipes and short seasons with good rewards where smurfs will be pointless.

  @dcfa88bb0fa44fd @DOTA2 I also tried reaching out to the customer service on all platforms including reddit but to no avail but I was luck to come across @latech00 on INSTAGRAM who got me unbanned in 40 minutes Man It Like Magic to me just go to him

  @uNoNeedToKnowMi @teamsecret @DOTA2 They banned those account with a”trap” to be sure of what they were doing, and fixed and patched the problem. They can still play dota? Yes. With the same account? No. Will they be able to cheat again? No. (Or not anytime soon, dota client is pretty safe though)

  Dear @Dota2, my account was recently restricted due to a hacker using forbidden scripts. As a long-time player and fan who's spent thousands on the game, I'm hoping for your help to resolve this issue. Please assist me in removing the restriction so I can continue playing. #Dota2

  @DOTA2 Today I finally uninstalled this ******* cancer of a game. 7000+ hours. **** YOU VALVE and your cesspool of cheating, broken ******* piece of **** game! You will NEVER be able to fix it.

  @DOTA2 I just love still playing Herald rank vs a random 34-1-4 Windranger/Tinker/Arc/OD in almost every game. Face it, your game is broken... so broken.

  @redditdota2 @DOTA2 Never touch ranked. Only turbo for fun, if any of my team or enemy grieving in turbo, it's their problem, then.

  @IceFrog @DOTA2 Should if possible allow in custom lobbies let admin save games in pause. That way if there is issues that call for remake you can load up the saved pause file and resume. Would save a lot of time in delays due to player or server side bugs/problems.

  @ALECKyou @MrLukaV @DOTA2 Just put your account in private then, ez fix. The overwolf app doesn't read in-game client data. It reads data collected by sites like dotabuff, stratz, etc

  @redditdota2 @DOTA2 Lina is the hero to ban. That passive on the lane is just too strong. She slaves the wave for 200 attack speed and it is over... Just totally broken on the lane. Thank god she doesn't do any magic damage on top of that.

  Marius Fjeldsø (@exxera) reported 49 minutes ago

  @DOTA2 So are you going to adress the issue where several players litterally can not play the game? It has been like this all day, updated display drivers, reinstalled Dota. This is actually unacceptable.

• 
  Some Name Here (@teamDA_traX) reported 50 minutes ago

  @Steam @DOTA2 you guys should make the rules about Smurfing in DotA much more strickt. in 10 Games you get like 8 Smurfs everytime a ******* Event is on. If you want the player base to play the event, than fix the ****. But i guess you guys dont give a ****....

• 
  Matan Narkiss (@dvnarxx) reported 50 minutes ago

  Here's an idea, @valvesoftware , @DOTA2 - In Ranked matches, filter out people with less than 50% the number of games I have. Smurfs problem solved.

  Joshua (@J0shuaw) reported 50 minutes ago

  @DOTA2 Smurfs in every game and account buying and boosting services flourishing like never before. Match making is broken af. Congrats for doing literally nothing 👏

  Hey @valvesoftware, please give @WePlay_Esports every @DOTA2 major & TI moving forward. These scuffed productions are embarrassing. So many tech issues and these fans are in a blimp hanger sitting on scaffolding. Do better. #LimaMajor
