  @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.

  @DOTA2 @valvesoftware @DOTA2 2 days now, the game has been litterally unplayable, trying to demo a hero, a bot match, a regular match, spectate, the game closes without any error msg. I have tried EVERYTHING. Fix it, or at least aknowledge that you are aware of it.

  @DOTA2 I have a problem. Every time I play Dota. 1st match is a lagfest. Insane lagging. Ping 200+. The next match ping levels are normal 20-30ping. I tried to restart, reset the router, restart the game, and PC restarting, verify game files. I'm still lagging in 1st 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.

  @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.

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

  @AmmarAlassaf6 @DOTA2 Andddddd this **** is still broken like it was idk 7 months ago? But people still tryna act like it works as intended when there is NO WAY someone who got low comm can get their score back up. You can go play muted no chat for 1 month and it would make no difference. Fix it valve

  Dota 2 ranked draft is messy, outdated, and completely misses the strategy. Bring the tournament draft system to ranked games too, it actually makes the game feel more tactical. Pls fix it @valvesoftware @DOTA2

  @MohammadMash99 @DOTA2 Every year they make a new patch months after TI (TI aug -> Patch nov). They made 7.00 this way. It's not easy but it's their job. A lot of ppl would work and help to make the game better (and money isn't a problem for valve)

  @IceFrog @DOTA2 Should if possible allow in custom lobbies let admin save games in pause. 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.

  @DOTA2 You guys are big losers for ruining the game for the players. I can’t believe how you cannot solve Smurfs issue. There’s a Smurf in every game. Your developer team is so pathetic and incompetent to be honest. It’s very simple to solve it, you can add another filter in the

  @DOTA2 Please fix the matchmaking so it takes into account how long you have played the game. I am tired of being put into games with people who dont know how to play. people like me who have played for 10 years should not be put into the same match Its not fair for both parties
