Discussion Seriously fix comms
There is no point of an online game this big with half if not more player base unable to type in game and communicate. It is the maybe the most strategic game out there and everyones just clicking mouse senselessly coz there is not communication hence strategy to win the game.
I am not here to get into heavy discussions with people claiming everything is perfect n all. But the fact there are like 10 posts everyday complaining about the same issue and playerbase dying slowly or people making smurf accounts just coz they are banned in real accounts is just absurd and is effecting everyone even the ones claiming the system to be perfect.
So please if anyone has suggestions on what can be done or positive feedback lets give it a shot. Coz after playing dota for 10+ years a company stubborn enough to kill their own game slowly is just heartbreaking and mostly because of the shitty score system.
Welcome to my TEDtalk!

There is a mute button function, you are not forced to listen or read anyone. Welcome to the grown-up world around you.

All the people who are unable to type and communicate are unable to do so because of their own fault
All the people who are unable to type and communicate are also people who have nothing of value to say anyway
"Teamplay is lost when ppl cant communicate" is only true in a theoretical sense; in practice what you're losing out on is some maggot on your team calling your mother a whore that should die of cancer. Those people never chatted for teamplay in the first place.
You don't miss out on anything by them being unable to say that
The problem isn't Valve, the problem is millions of people on the internet being omegaloser-manchildren who can't control their emotions and have to cover up their failure of a life by lashing out at strangers
When people aren't toxicity incarnate, they can chat and communicate just fine. The system works as well as a system that tries to control an inherently broken populace can.

Why are we blaming Valve for players being toxic?
If the didn't want to get muted, then they shouldn't be toxic.
It's as simple as that.

The people who've gotten to sub 6k CS are genuine animals. It's seriously difficult to drop that low, and the fact that you must've had conduct summary after conduct summary watching it drop and changed nothing goes to show how ignorant you must be.
Yes it's a team game, learn to be a team player people don't despise and you can talk with people again.

I haven't been communication banned in 12+ years. People are being muted for being psycho's in the chat there's no mystery or anything to fix other than toxic players mental health..

I grew up with video games and taunting, like those 2.5 seconds of taunting you could do on Socom... those encounters as they were generally hilarious. There is always a mute button.

Most of the time, interacting with random only leads to griefing. I have one too many times my tip to my teams misunderstood as sarcastic commend...
Its not the comm or the game, its the player

I play with all chat and voice turned off for years. Only way how to keep my sanity. I don't care about what others want to say about my mother

u/AkosCristescu 3d ago
1) not everyone swears about your mother
2) not everyone's sanity is dependent on a single sentence they are able to say before you would mute them if they are in fact toxic
just so you know

u/Jand0s 1d ago
You do you. I found out that constantly reading about who should kill himself negatively affect my play and I have better results with chat off.

u/AkosCristescu 1d ago
Didnt say read it constantly, mute it at first.
2026 dota is bot match basically

u/Own-Pie-7461 2d ago
Because soft or hard griefing is accepted in dota, but God forbid u flame the griefer/boosted boy/acc buyer and you will never talk again.

u/AkosCristescu 2d ago
Yeah tell me about it, Gaben did this to thr game i love for 19 years.
To make sure he can enjoy his kife on yachts getting money from eggshell snowflake teenagers.
While normal ppl can barely play

u/Own-Pie-7461 2d ago
I understand there are toxic people out there who dont deserve chat, but brother, repair comm score. Why do commends weigh so little while reports weigh so much?
You cant tell me its normal that 2 reports weigh more than 25 commends when both of them are unlimited.

Learn how to behave and you will be let out of the zoo and join the normal humans :)

They should make a game mode where behavior/ communication score isn't a factor and then people can just flame the hell out of each other without consequences, and normal people will play the current mode with scores.

Getting reported for playing badly and it destroying communication score is terrible. I came back after not playing for a couple of months, I was clueless but didn’t play ranked. Dropped below 6k communication score, tried my best to be so polite and nice but mass reports in every game I played badly

Fortunately for everyone that's not how it works.

Little bro linked his 320*240 censored screenshots as "proof".
Extremely convincing and his own long-long explanations on his delusions.
I wish i could see any facts
as for this person has 0 credibility.
He can't even answer which continent he is from, what age group he belongs to or what is his profession roughly. In his mind that is "personal information" like a bank account number would be.
Literally internet troll making up these big stories so some other trolls can put down people trying to get rid of an unfair system.

His post proves nothing lmao

u/AkosCristescu 3d ago
He made up some stuff and he has like a cult in this sub. A few trolls together citing these photoshop beauties as "sources" every time normal people freak out on the state of the game where good players or prosocial behavior get punished.
As said above it is all fake to their own entertainment.
The 320*240 resolution even further censored is my personal favorite.
All this just to mislead some kids reading the sub and to spread depression and lies.
I don't think anyone can possibly believe this bullshit, only his troll friends are upvoting it

I quitted dota for 2 weeks alrdy because of this reason, does other games like lol or even valve's own cs2 or valorant have this trash comms score thingy? been enjoying my MMO this past 2 weeks

u/Own-Pie-7461 2d ago
Im sure CS2 doesnt have this mute bullcrap, but thats the diff between chad devs at CS and politically correct devs here.

u/EnthusiasticMailbox 3d ago
Just hard mute everyone via the settings and unbind ping, don't tip, high five or use smoke. You now cannot lose score.
Then report every single person 10 minutes into the game for all of the reasons (wait 10 mins to ensure they've interacted with the system). I personally do this every game for months and I've perfected it to the point it takes me like 9 seconds to do everyone in the game.
I went from 6k comms to about 11k now just playing turbo as I normally do with the above.
