  @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.

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

  Immortal matchmaking is a very nice, a feature that was missed in high mmr dota for a long time. But can you step up your game Valve and fix the dotaplus tier levels on heroes and avoid the list which is useless right now? @valvesoftware @DOTA2

  Glitch/bug when confirming match. If one person doesn't confirm and we miss the queue, every queue afterwards won't make it pass confirmation and we have to restart Dota2 and/or Steam. It's been 3 days straight. Please fix @DOTA2 @Steam

  @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.

  @cassidopix @DOTA2 I have no way to fix this. It's on the developers and you'll have to contact them about it.

  @lekkersvdekkers @OfficialNewell @DOTA2 dota2's language barrier in pubs is real — auto translate in-game would honestly fix 80% of the comms issues in ranked

  @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.

  @TorteDeLini @DOTA2 Low fps issue after the new update! How to fix it? Or should we wait for the next update! I have stopped playing dota2 due to frustration as it keeps lagging every 5 mins

  @Steam @DOTA2 you guys should make the rules about Smurfing in DotA much more strickt. in 10 Games you get like 8 Smurfs everytime a ******* Event is on. If you want the player base to play the event, than fix the ****. But i guess you guys dont give a ****....

  @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

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

  Gabe (@parragabry) reported 48 minutes ago

  @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)

  @DOTA2 Just lost to smurf cheaters. When will you fix your ******* **** game?

  @IceFrog @DOTA2 There should be a server auto save feature for DPC games. That way if there is issues that call for remake you can load up the saved pause file and resume. Would save a lot of time in delays due to player or server side bugs/problems.

  @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
