Here is a textbook example of a game I just played ruined by Spanish speakers.

Team is AM, Tiny, SF, and the Spanish duo WR and ES.

SF goes mid, AM goes bot and they tell him to go top. I'm not dual laning with AM as tiny because thats retarded so I go bottom with WR and ES. If they spoke competent English, I could rationalize my choice and talk about the benefits of the trilane. Instead, "REPORTA A ESTE TINY DIEGO." They then proceed to spam their nukes in an effort to lessen my CS, and the game is effectively over from there. Neither one of them spends any time doing anything relevant besides talking in Spanish and asking the enemy to report me.

Funny, that's how I feel about this entire thread.

Seriously, I don't think there has been a new intelligent post in general for months, maybe new users everyone should just be banned from doing that at this point.

So, I speak fluent English, I coordinate and play my best to help my team and I have tons of international friends, but because you can't handle a couple spanish speakers on an international game I'm not allowed to queue with my friends?

Dota2 needs good latin servers not located in Brazil(because the brazilian servers have awful routing to the rest of latin america), that's it.

Also, from my experience, it's been a long time since I've seen a spanish speaker on USE that "ruined" the game for speaking spanish. Most of the time, the guy ruining the game is the jerk complaining about the spanish speaker. And it's been a REALLY long time since I've seen annoying brazilians on USE as well - most of them prefer to play on 50ms ping on SA server rather than 180ms and english speakers.


And don't act like USE/USW are servers exclusive to the US. Or do you really expect Mexicans to queue to south-america, on an arguably farther server?


Why shouldnt they? Allows them to communicate better.

It's all about your perspective. For you of course Spanish speakers don't ruin games for other people. But when username JUAN (this happened to me yesterday) picks Spiritbreaker for the long lane solo and communicates exclusively with the other Spanish speaking friend in the party, ignoring the rest of the team the entire game, can't you see how this becomes a problem?

Off-lane SB is actually pretty legit and gets played in high-level Chinese pubs occasionally (PIS and 820 both have videos playing it). That's not a strike against him.

I honestly don't know why this thread is still open. It's pretty obvious why dota 2 isn't region locked.
