  @radianceheat @AmmarAlassaf6 @DOTA2 The issue is that everyone has unlimited reports, so if you step even a hair out of line in their eyes, reported. And the game doesn’t care. You just instantly lose 150 com score or what ever. Cause someone didn’t like the cut of your jib. But yeah, be nicer, that works.

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

  @DOTA2 I only play turbo and I paid for 1 year dota plus. The reason i bought it was purely for the relics. They have been broken since the start of TI battlepass. Where can I contact customer support? Anyone know? I haven't got a response even though I've tried so many places!

  @DOTA2 For a while now, Ive noticed that when I reach Level 10, my abilities get locked until I use my skill point. If this happens during a team fight, its really inconvenient. Please fix this

  Hey @dota2 and @valve. Your report system is broken. People in pre-made party got me in SD/LP for 3 games after they didn't respect their picked roles in ranked while I did. They were 3, they reported me while they didn't respect the game, and I'm the one being low prio. **** you

  @DOTA2 here is a suggestion: fix all the current bugs before you add new ones.

  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

  1,2GB UPDATE, WHAT DID YOU FIX VALVE, BECAUSE MY VOICELANES STILL AINT WORKING ON HEROES @valvesoftware @DOTA2

• 
  SlaweEDotA (@SlaweE_TV) reported 37 minutes ago

  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

• 
  Buster Cakepan (@hellbuster) reported 40 minutes ago

  @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 😢

  Hey @valvesoftware, please give @WePlay_Esports every @DOTA2 major & TI moving forward. These scuffed productions are embarrassing. So many tech issues and these fans are in a blimp hanger sitting on scaffolding. Do better. #LimaMajor

  @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 Fix your matchmaking, clowns. Years went by and you still are clueless.

  @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.

  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”

  @DOTA2 BAN SA obviously hints are given for their benefit. This was an issue from other tournament before and they addressed it.
