I a player gets his Xth yellow card (so he misses next match) or a red one in the 89th minute, then the team which he played against doesnt really get a benefit. It might even be a disadvantage, if the player misses next game against a direct opponent (in league standings) of the victim-team. The system's there to punish the offender. | ||

Second game, random draft: 4 picks on our side, we have Storm (me), Troll Warlord, Sniper and AA. Enemy team has Sven, Ursa, Puck and Slardar, so clearly we need some strong CC to help us out here, and somehow Magnus and Tide are still both in the pool. "its k i carry u noobs i win in very high bracket all da time with my bro" -> picks Drow, goes 1/19/3; turned out, Drow has never been in very high bracket, has only actually played 4 games total (on that account at least) and when asked why she didn't pick something more appropriate to our lineup responded "lol it's drow she ez pubstomp fuckin noob l2p". At least I got an Aegis steal out of that game, always fun to watch the allchat explode. | ||

Poison sting will push the lane and the slow from gale is constant independent of the levels. He shouldn't be spamming them, but you want to have the wards available to harass and to make an impact in fights with. | ||

Until there is a Spanish language option it is just something to deal with. Well, being south american i can answer this. Our routing is SHIT, like completely shit, i mean, i play with 200 ms in USE, and 260-300 in USW, and that's still better than playing in the "South Brazilian (because is not south american, there's only portuguese speakers and they are, well, not very kind to other that does not speak their language)". Second, if i have to chosee, i prefer to play US before SA, because altough maybe the skill level is a bit behind (talking about general player population, not pro teams, please dont get offended), you (americans) seem to play with more of an idea on what to do and how to do it, and it seems that you watch more professional games and know about the game more. However, you lack some "hands" as we are used to say. Another thing to consider, is that most spanish speakers know how to talk in english, or at least write english, and because of that we go to US servers. I'm probably the exception to the rule, because i hate playing in SA servers, i dont like our community and I have a full American dota team, but anyways, i think this shreds some light in what you guys think is a very big problem and something that you often compare to "Russians of Europe servers".  | ||

Valve confirms that mass reports from one single game do not lead to bans or being muted, they look at several games and pattern of communication. Some of the other interesting points in that blog: *Since the ban system has been implemented, there’s been a 35% drop in negative communication interactions. *Less than the 1% of the active player base (players who have played Dota 2 in the last month) are currently banned. *60% of players who receive bans go on to modify their behavior and don’t receive further bans. *Total reports are down more than 30%, even after accounting for the reduction in the number permitted per week. At first glance it seems the system is actually working, and the whining we're hearing in here about it is a vocal minority who actually deserves the ban they got to begin with. | ||

This looks pretty good, now tweak the MMR a bit and we're golden. And to the discussion i flame and rage on occasion, like a meepo in a game who took my safelane even when i firstpicked in RD and called it. Then goes 0 - 5 in lane, buys threads first and when i mention that for the future tranqs are really good in the start "stfu noob lol" when i´m 5 - 1 - 5 Tiny and gets his aghs at 35min and blink at 40ish, i flame and rage at him. Yet i have never been muted or LP:d | ||

At first glance it seems the system is actually working, and the whining we're hearing in here about it is a vocal minority who actually deserves the ban they got to begin with. it works at it was intended, no doubt about that. Less available reports means 30% less reports and the brutal punishment for comm ''abuse'' means people will be reluctant to communicate in any ''malicious'' way. Still doesnt mean the system is good though. The core problem for me is the pendulum MM - even people with extremely thick skin will lose their shit after they go on a 7-10 loss streak. And I think we can all agree that this is how the MM works for most of the time - 5-10 games it puts you in a good team against noobs, then it gives you 5-10 even-ish games, followed by a brutal loss streak. Another shortcoming is the fixed number of reports you're allowed to have. Some people play 5 games per week, some play 50.Needless to say, the latter are 10 times more likely to encounter shitheads that deserve to be reported. | ||

We're not obliged to put up with your lack of restraint, learn to control yourself. I've never been muted yet the system still punishes me by forcing me to play with people who can't communicate. Again, if I want some1 muted I can mute him in 2 clicks, I don't see the point. If some1 does enough to warrant getting muted why don't they just get put in low priority with all the other ragers and flamers instead of getting queued with me | ||

Even 8am on a weekday I can still find 3min queues. Note that I said solo queue. I have never, since the solo queue system was implemented, had a <5 minute solo queue. If I play full queue, sure, I get <3 minute queues, but I have little interest in being a 4-stack's wardbitch just for that. In solo at whatever mmr I'm in, the average time per wait is between 10 and 20 minutes, and 9/10s are common because with a queue time that long, it's pretty likely that someone somewhere has got up to get a glass of water. A fairly standard progression is 15:00, 9/10, ~10:00, 8/10, 7:00, load (and then potentially player drop, 10:00, load, game). The largest single number I've seen is in the 30s, but I have certainly sat there for far more than an hour as games are repeatedly declined. Of course, if all players in the first queue are actually there, i get a game in 15 minutes or even <10. That's not the norm. So no, I am not really exaggerating. | ||

playing custom games for shits and giggles WTF, instant respawn, x2 some shithead picks magnus and spams RP for literally 300 kills in fountain over the space of about 5 minutes I can't even imagine how that's fun for people. our tier twos weren't even down when he started so there was no chance of the game actually finishing or anything while he was at it. Ugh, people like that just need to fuck off and die. | ||

Got so fed up that I went to NC with PL at level 4 cos of retard shadow shaman in lane.. no wards for runes when game starts. Sigh Team of Roof, Shadow Shaman, Leshrac and Wolf then proceed to get caught out many times. Instead of turtle and split push them to death, they decide to team fight against PA, clock, tusk, undying, jakiro from early levels When they get caught and enemy took mid rax, the nubs bitched and then I took bot lane despite their nubness. Why people think every game has to be teamfight and get wiped? You are so low level because you keep feeding despite no teamfight potential and individual skill. Won the game with 704 CS and 37.5k networth.. Kills losing 32 - 47 PL so good.. pls no nerf.. good when you have idiots in teams unless they are super idiots to which there is no saving. :S | ||

lost easy lane to Pugna and Tusk then afk farm in jungle suddenly raged that Warlock stole his item and start feeding the enemy team the funny thing is that everytime he feed, he actually show where the enemy are grouped up so we either get to push other lanes or manage to team wipe them with WL ulti + Static Link+thunder storm + Bara bash + sniper chipping away from distances :D seeing his plan to feed actually giving us advantage he then buy all the wards and hide them in the jungle and also suicide gems into their team (which we easily recovered in no time) and this morning when I logged in, got the action have been taken against your report message. cheers Valve | ||

Your wards scale better and should be maxed first. Still doesn't mean you should spam out wards at random though -.- | ||

Concerning venomancer I jsut noticed recently he says "plague our ennemies" and that his ulti is basicly plague from bw. | ||
