    @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.

    @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.

    @valvesoftware @DOTA2 please fix your servers. If you cannot, take them offline. Makes no sense to punish players with abandons and low priority when the fault is on your side.

    @DOTA2 So are you going to adress the issue where several players litterally can not play the game? It has been like this all day, updated display drivers, reinstalled Dota. This is actually unacceptable.

    Dota 2 ranked draft is messy, outdated, and completely misses the strategy.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

    @TorteDeLini @DOTA2 Well this is odd. I wonder what broke it. I keep hoping it's proof they are working on a big overhaul related to UI but it's more likely Ai slop coding errors. I fear the glory days for Valve ended when Gaben moved to NZ. I want to be wrong, desperately wrong.

    Dear Valve Dota 2 Team, @valvesoftware @DOTA2 I am writing to report a recurring issue I experience during Dota 2 matches that negatively affects the gameplay environment. In many games, some players intentionally pause the match and repeatedly type messages such as “ez ez”

  • deadheaddabz
    MistaDabzMcGee (@deadheaddabz) reported

    @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.

    @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

    @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

    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

    @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 ****....

    MistaDabzMcGee (@deadheaddabz) reported

    @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.
