IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

idk the odd time i do solo q i find that teams with the least text communication are usually the best. pings, chat wheel and the occasional "i get mek" or something of that like is always enough

Everybody got muted nowadays anyway, who cares if you can communicate or not.

I'm convinced that this is because you are in fact psychic and rather than talk just place your thoughts directly into people's heads and make it seem like words. It's the only possibility.

EG throws are actually just me mind-ddosing them, ez rares.

Honestly I don't talk at all while playing Dota, and I don't really respond to other people talking either. It's the only way to keep your sanity on Garena when not playing with friends.

Hence why I queue multiple languages in the first place because I probably won't say much anyway and as long as I can understand what's being said, I'm fine.

So how has the Dota 2 item betting been for you?

I got into it 2 weeks ago, started with betting only 2 rare items. 21/30 bets won, 55 rares won, 17 rares lost.

I have to admit betting has made watching dota 2 exponentially more entertaining. I dont have a favourite team. I usually just looked at the picks and whichever team had more heroes I liked I wished they´d win. By investing few useless cosmetics I find myself actually cheering for a team(for the series) and I find that pretty great.

Its also fun to trade the stuff you win for the stuff you want instead of just buying it from the store.

Play pick up dota 1 Europe. The amount of racism is hilarious. No Nazi, no jew, no russian, no commie, etc. I have watched 2 random teams go at it before the game even starts over some of the most trivial shit, to use a 80 ping hostbot or a 70 ping hostbot while I sit at 200ish ping from US East.

D-L.com was pretty good about punishing for that kind of stuff, the IRC pick ups obviously nobody regulates.

There will always be people to blame. It's just blaming "russian" is seen as acceptable so people are more vocal about it. If they were to put in some region locking there would be just a new thing to blame. All it will do is limit people

It's such an overwhelming issue with dota 2 in specific though, when it comes to the Russians. They are very stubborn about playing in english queue and not communicating in english.

It's just wrong. It's a failure on part of the game devs. I honestly think it ruins the game experience for many normal/casual gamers just trying to enjoy some dota. I always hear complaining about it when I talk to dota playing friends IRL. Always. Always. Always. Russians.

They should be able to do something. There has to be some kind of solution for this.

Unless valve has magic, they can't really do a lot about the issue. There is no way to know what language people speak or force them to a different server because of their region. I mean, they could just say "No NA server for you", but that wouldn't stop you from playing with people in NA that don't speak english.

Only let people pick one. "can't really do a lot about the issue" is just silly. There are a thousand things they could do. They all have drawbacks. But are the drawbacks that bad? I don't believe so.

They can limit server access, but that is about it. The rest gets into their weird racist territory where they start filtering by what language people speak.
