    @PrefoX1337 @DOTA2 This was like a week-of problem

    @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.

    @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)

    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

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

    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

    @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)

    @DOTA2 Today I finally uninstalled this ******* cancer of a game. 7000+ hours. **** YOU VALVE and your cesspool of cheating, broken ******* piece of **** game! You will NEVER be able to fix it.

    @redditdota2 @DOTA2 Never touch ranked. Only turbo for fun, if any of my team or enemy grieving in turbo, it's their problem, then.

    @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

    The production quality and viewing experience really gets worse and worse every @DOTA2 Major. The talent is amazing as always, but the tech issues and sets are not worthy of a Major.

    @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.

    @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

    @DOTA2 I just love still playing Herald rank vs a random 34-1-4 Windranger/Tinker/Arc/OD in almost every game. Face it, your game is broken... so broken.
