Just got matched with 4 dudes that had 42-23-12-0 wins. And I have 200. And I am on a pretty solid losing streak atm. We were facing a team with average 120 wins (lowest had 43)... What do Valve expect? That there's a chance that the 0 win guy turns out to be a chinese pro that just got his key? | ||

My win-loss ratio is about 50% though. Although, it was much worse when I started. It was about 20%, but I'm improving :D I didn't know there was a working matchmaking for Dota2, I thought it just filled the games with available people. | ||

That there's a chance that the 0 win guy turns out to be a chinese pro that just got his key? I have been on a losing streak as of lately. I am still near 50% but it is slowly dropping. I noticed on average, there were better players. But than there are matches where they are nearly complete newbs and I wonder why they ended up in the match. There is a system in place, it just needs to be worked on with a larger player pool as well. | ||

We all have had different experiences (or lack of) with Russians, and therefore have varying reasons why or why we do not like Russians in DotA 2. Since the premise of your claim is flawed, the rest of your conclusion is out of place. Should also point out that I did not mention anything about racism so yeah... what is with your response? The bit about racism is directed at Jakerr, who made the remark a few posts above yours that Russians is not a race and thus it isn't racism when I accused him of it. The behaviour that people exhibit towards Russians in Dota2 can be found in other games that have been 'taken over' by communities that don't speak English. The one that comes foremost to my mind are the Brazilians in Gunbound. There is an irrational amount of hate towards them that stems from nothing except them just being there. I challenge you to give me a list of reasons behind why people hate Russians in DotA2, and for every one I can easily go out and find the same thing involving English speakers, just as many times. The fundamental difference here is that you cannot communicate with them. If an English-speaker screw up, you can talk to them and explain, and SOME (not all) will be receptive to your advice. The same cannot be done about the Russians, and that frustrates the hell out of people. | ||

I'm sad that the moderation is not strict enough for this particular matter. As an angry russian said in a quarrel with a westerner, "u just mad cose yur pros are bad" trolololo. | ||

I do agree though, there is some racism going on in these and other threads on other forums for sure. Rather counterproductive to their points, if anything. | ||

I know how annoying it is not being able to communicate with your teammates, I've been there. But don't you think the Russians feel the same when they join a game with four English-speakers? Just make the best of it. Sit back and play a game, don't be a twat. | ||

I'm by no means racist against Russians, I've played with quite a few fucking awesome ones and quite a few terrible ones just like every other ethnicity. I just get frustrated, personally, when half my team I can not communicate effectively with. Thank god for drawing and pinging ^^ I do agree though, there is some racism going on in these and other threads on other forums for sure. Rather counterproductive to their points, if anything. I think half the "russians" are merely trolls using it as an excuse. Google some russian copy paste. | ||

Im not english speaking, I can also speak a language noone on my team can understand but I dont cuz I try to comunicate with them in a way they understand, most russians dont, I doubt they dont know enough english to comunicate basic things in dota like push ect. they just dont want to and that anoys me | ||

Just make the best of it. Sit back and play a game, don't be a twat. The game's in english, on english servers. What language do you think should be used? If the game was in russian, and was played on russian servers, sure, you could make that argument, but as it is, you really can't. And on top of that, the people who spew russian all over the chat typically do have a good enough understanding of english to understand that "pugna top, SF mid", means just that, and not pugna mid, SF bot or some shit, but they just refuse to acknowledge that there are actually other players in the game too. There are lots of russians who are very good players, and who behave well, but because they don't speak russian and only russian throughout the entire game, people may never even find out that they're russian. All that put together creates a bad stereotype. | ||

Should we do the same for the English? There are plenty of English speakers which feed, afk and flame. HAHAHAHA FEW BAD APPLES HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Why not give them their own fucking server they can be retarded on? Please, please, please, please, please. User was warned for this post | ||

I've played on SA/SEA with friends and it is all the same level of trolls/rage. People just remember the ones who don't speak their language. | ||
