do the recent root changes affect force staff?

Is it true that if you get reports you're more likely to be in the same team as other reported players?
Last few months my teams always consist of flamers, afkers, people who feed on purpose etc etc. So after being tilted game after game I embranced it, changed my ign to something really toxic and started acting like that as well. It's like a never ending circle. Is there any way to get out of it? Every time I try to act normally, I just get titled again by extremely toxic players.

The way I see it, you're fucked. As you describe it IS a never ending circle.

Because people are not definitely toxic or happy, you bring that to them, too. I mean sure, some people are more inclined to be assholes, or nice, depending on the mood/character. But if you come along being toxic, you'll probably end up getting the toxic side of them (you know, the good old "if you troll, i'll troll you back twice harder" - never ends).

My 2 cents : take a pause from the game, and mute anyone rude/toxic asap. And never flame. I'm not saying people do not deserve flame, but flaming will ruin your game anyway.

I was never toxic. The game made me like that, after countless toxic games I started acting toxic myself.

And now, every time I try and play seriously, I can't escape the constant toxic teams I run into.

It doesn't matter how it began. You need to stop being toxic, and never be toxic again. It's for you. Else, as you say, it will never end.

Also, instantly mute anyone being rude.

Your name's ihatevideogames.

Just stop fucking playing. There's no sense in doing something purely for pleasure if you don't enjoy it. There are other more isolated competitive experiences if that's your pursuit, but ultimately the answer is almost definitely that you're being shitty/toxic and not recognizing it. I've met plenty of pleasant humans through dota, and I've yet to meet anyone shitty in dota that isn't equally shitty in real life.

1) do the people working on dota even play the game themselves? :D

2) how long before the self-evidently bad changes will be fixed?

Now that you can stack all three camps near the Dire offlane and Ancient stacks were generally nerfed, does TA still prefer the Radiant midlane?

My first impression is that dire midlane you can stack the top jungle ancients even more easily than radiant can now so I think they're significantly more equal now. Maybe even dire favoured.

Anyone else think this game is going to turn in to a group and push meta with heavy tower pushers like dp, ld, lycan ?

Map control seems so important now with tunes everywhere losing your outer towers is really devastating

I think it will turn into a gank meta with teams trying to get away with the bare minimum in pushing, like how Complexity ran support Lesh with max Edict. Of course you can run those pushers as cores but fighting is still the best way to get XP/gold.

It's very easy, and you can stack them and the medium camp simultaneously if you have a ward.

Be non-toxic and add ppl that don't get toxic when the game goes to hell. I'm playing most of the time along with 2 or more people I know aren't toxic, which makes meeting toxic people actually a rarity.

As described before muting toxic people helps immensely. I give people two shots, when the second flame comes up they get muted and reported.

I mean sure sometimes we get the blame train etc, but it's like 1 in 10 games. On average I'd say that 1 in 5 people are generally toxic and have low patience, exchanging half of the people with friendly people really dumps the encounter-rate.
low gravity, yes-yes!

Re: Toxicity - Try heading it off with your own anti-toxic communication. Teammates are likely to think twice about flaming you if you drop a 'good job' on them after a successful fight. Or beat them to it by taking responsibility for your own mistakes with a 'sorry' 'my bad' etc.
