EPTMeaning that players on different servers could have the same MMR but different skill levels, so that when they come over to a different server, even though they are matched with players with the same MMR, their actual skill level would be different.

Lastly, people from other servers should also expect lag when playing in other areas... Every once in a while, a Russian/Chinese player comes along and complains about having 200+ ping in the NA servers. | ||

That's where your argument goes to shit. It's not xenophobia to call people asshats for going out of their way to be a detriment to other's games. | ||

I've played with many a Russian in my time, and the ones that could speak English were more often than not the ones I played well with, because we could understand each other and act in unison. I've probably played with hundreds of black Americans, Romanians, South Africans, the French, the Norwegian, the Dutch, even Chinese and Korean... none of it mattered to me unless there's a language barrier, and often there wasn't one. Queueing for languages you don't understand at all is so obviously counterproductive for everyone - including the picker - that it blows my mind that anyone would even disagree with me, let alone actually do the same thing themselves. Hell, if you can understand the basics, like "b" means you need to go back and be safe, then that's serviceable for a pub match on an English server. If you can't even parse a fucking ping in the jungle 800 units from you when everyone is missing, and then you bitch in a language nobody on your team understands, then there's a problem. | ||

Why do you think the term 'starcraft elitist' even exists in a lexicon anywhere? Because we refuse to lay the blame anywhere but ourselves. It's part of the burden, and we shoulder it happily. | ||

And BAD players who don't speak English are going to be bad even if they DID speak English. Some of the best players I've randomly queued with have not had to say a word beyond pings and the chatwheel. That could have been Vladimir Putin himself. It's great that people think the only problem is the language barrier but I honestly think that more often than not it's just that those players are bad players. | ||

Now I play on US East, EU West and EU East servers, so I can’t speak from experience when it comes to Chinese players. But I can say with a lot of certainty that there will be the same distribution of bad and good players among their population as there is in all the other countries of the World. I call fucking bullshit on this. Ask any SEA player and they will tell you with certainty that Chinese players are better players. Just because your experience is limited only to the West doesn't mean that it is the same everywhere else in the world. We have our own problems here in SEA, and that is the Filipinos. I can tell you for a fact that it is more of the attitude problem that most Filipinos present rather than their individual skill level which gives them a bad name. As a matter of fact, Filipinos speak much better English than Chinese players and yet I would rather play with Chinese players 10 times out of 10. Most of the times, it is not that they cannot communicate in English, but they would rather not because they have their own friends in the game and would rather exclude the other players from their private conversations. So stop with your generalizing and one-sided tirades and maybe you could look at the scene from a bigger perspective - that the fault does not only lie with those who are 'xenophobic' in your own words, they are also present with those who are the victims of the 'xenophobia'. | ||

Never bad to remind yourself to forget this nationalistic bullshit either. However on a more serious note I'd like to add that the popularity of the game in each country means that you will have different demographics playing it. I feel like people playing dota in western europe and the US tend to be "older" than the typical gamer population because younger player mostly play league of legends. However in a country where ukraine where dota2 is extremely popular you tend to have younger players that don't behave correctly on the internet ^^. | ||

English is the most spoken language on EU west and still russian rage moments are far more common. Any half way intelligent person knows this isn't because of these people being russian. It's individuals acting extremely badly and without respect for their fellow players. Well you don't treat these individuals with respect. You scorn and ostricize them until they've learned to play nice. Or you tell them to get the fuck out and go back to their own playground. Everytime I got screamed at in Dota was in english. | ||

Personally I'm pretty much over with the whole nationality thing, if people don't communicate then they don't communicate and if they speak some russian'ish language I mute them and play the game. | ||

If you want to play on a server you should try to speak the language of that server, or you give your team a higher chance to lose. It's as simple as that. | ||
