    @DOTA2 Can you now fix your matchmaking algo? Took us less than a week to figure it and we’re getting almost free mmr all the time. Maybe use some skill/stats based MM instead of just the retarded 40-40-20 approach? Thx.

  • SmoothJazzGamer SmoothJazzGamer (@SmoothJazzGamer) reported

    @TheMaelk @TorteDeLini @DOTA2 Weird pros don't have this problem.. probably shadow pooled in the smurf realm

  • frostyfouR_ maman (@frostyfouR_) reported

    @Ruzofficial @DOTA2 Hi this is support team from valve, i have checked your issue. We found out that all of your kills are KS. So it doest count. Get gud kid! Sksksks

  • bafikk Oleksii Bafadarov (@bafikk) reported

    @TorteDeLini @DOTA2 you cant solve smurfs problem without MMR system change. We need vipes and short seasons with good rewards where smurfs will be pointless.

  • PedroFilipeTB Leave Me Alone (@PedroFilipeTB) reported

    @Sc2_DiaBoLuS @redditdota2 @DOTA2 100% low bracket. Low bracket problems i guess xD

  • TheFuzzyGrundle Thefuzzygrundle (@TheFuzzyGrundle) reported

    @DOTA2 How about fix the exploit. It’s not cheating if the game allowed it. Very noob move

  • mecdood MikeDood (@mecdood) reported

    @DOTA2 Smurfs are cheaters and it's absolutely4 rife. Fix that please.

  • YozoraDota VJ (@YozoraDota) reported

    @Creato_LABs @DOTA2 Tell me you don’t know the terms of service of steam without telling me

  • lisyk Lisy K 🔜 #DICE23 (@lisyk) reported

    My International Women's Day act-of-service is going on voice chat on @DOTA2 now without fear.

  • subw00fer37 SuBw00FeR (@subw00fer37) reported

    @JJLiebig @DOTA2 @EPULZEgaming Sorry just saw, first one with OD/Fogged - Tundra v Talon , Still going through watching them atm. day 2 was very similar most not working, few with the game sound over casters voice and maybe 2-3 matches worked fine.

  • Sc2_DiaBoLuS Raphael Schostok (@Sc2_DiaBoLuS) reported

    @redditdota2 @DOTA2 that's a weird banlist. why is wd a problem LUL tinker, lina, arc warden?????

  • TheFuzzyGrundle Thefuzzygrundle (@TheFuzzyGrundle) reported

    @DOTA2 How about fix the exploit. It’s not cheating if your game allows it. Noob move

  • parragabry Gabe (@parragabry) reported

    @uNoNeedToKnowMi @teamsecret @DOTA2 They banned those account with a”trap” to be sure of what they were doing, and fixed and patched the problem. They can still play dota? Yes. With the same account? No. Will they be able to cheat again? No. (Or not anytime soon, dota client is pretty safe though)

  • ioDanck Ola Danckwardt (@ioDanck) reported

    The production quality and viewing experience really gets worse and worse every @DOTA2 Major. The talent is amazing as always, but the tech issues and sets are not worthy of a Major.

  • oldmanwith6abs Lã Ngọc Hải (@oldmanwith6abs) reported

    @DOTA2 ok now fix tf2 too

  • duran_jose06 Jose Ricardo Duran (@duran_jose06) reported

    @DOTA2 THE REAL PROBLEM IS YOUR MATCHMAKING.....!!!!!

  • Klypzz klypzz (@Klypzz) reported

    When will @DOTA2 / @Steam let you keep voice line and stickers etc that you either paid for or grind for. It use to be that way before...what change? I want to keep some of my old voice line not disregard them because there's new 1s to pay for. Please fix

  • _pimpleface_ maf.hnamte (@_pimpleface_) reported

    @ALECKyou @MrLukaV @DOTA2 Just put your account in private then, ez fix. The overwolf app doesn't read in-game client data. It reads data collected by sites like dotabuff, stratz, etc

  • bafikk Oleksii Bafadarov (@bafikk) reported

    @TorteDeLini @DOTA2 you cant solve smurfs problem without MMR system change. We need wipes and short seasons with good rewards where smurfs will be pointless.

  • JoBoy78_ Joseph (@JoBoy78_) reported

    @DOTA2 But smurfs and account buyers are still welcomed...Either ban them or fix the matchmaking system...

  • mmoiz17 M.Moiz (@mmoiz17) reported

    @ShazZy29632529 @DOTA2 My account also got a permanent ban and support did nothing to help , not until I reached out to @SUPER_UNBAN on Instagram who helped me recover back my account . I confidently recommend his service

  • PeygamberDevesi Gökberk Tunç (@PeygamberDevesi) reported

    @DOTA2 Smurfs, boosters, acc buyers, game ruiners. Bigger problems.

  • metsanoja Timo Metsänoja (@metsanoja) reported

    @redditdota2 @DOTA2 Lina is the hero to ban. That passive on the lane is just too strong. She slaves the wave for 200 attack speed and it is over... Just totally broken on the lane. Thank god she doesn't do any magic damage on top of that.

  • Voyager384 Ameya (@Voyager384) reported

    @DOTA2 Anyone else getting an error message

  • PSG_N_OKC Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_N_OKC) reported

    @DOTA2 when you will release your next update if you will one day, nerf this ******* arc warden, it's not funny. Impossible to counter, he's broken in turbo, do something

  • hellbuster Buster Cakepan (@hellbuster) reported

    @DOTA2 Fix Smurf cheaters in all brackets NOW. Dota only on Steam accounts with over $100 value. 3-8 cheaters every freaking game. Dota is absolute **** now, and players are leaving in the hundreds of thousands because you refuse to make your game playable 😢

  • jokbitcoin Jok Coin (@jokbitcoin) reported

    @DOTA2 Big problem with smurf accounts, it's impossible to have a decent game, after 12 years of playing. It seems to me a real garbage that accounts with 500 games are allowed to play against me.

  • Georgiroy455 jack (@Georgiroy455) reported

    @Caipyyy @DOTA2 My account also got a permanent ban and support did nothing to help , not until I reached out to @SUPER_UNBAN on Instagram who helped me recover back my account . I confidently recommend his service

  • ribhurix Ribhu Mishra (@ribhurix) reported

    @DOTA2 hey guys please fix the recent patch. The app is not launching on mac. Auto close!

  • AlecNFTs Alec.ETH (@AlecNFTs) reported

    @DOTA2 Five ranked games in a row where I’m playing on US servers but everyone on my team is from Peru/Ecuador. When will you fix this because losing games because you can’t coordinate is more frustrating because the majority of players deal with this issue and not cheating.
