    @DOTA2 Fix the reporting system also Behaviour score and Communication Score not balanced Behaviour score: 10,000 Communication score: 5,600. Do not give all blocking options in communication score; move to behaviour score too and make it balanced. @valvesoftware

    @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.

    @valvesoftware @DOTA2 so 7 games, you team me up with absolute noobs who can't play and put us against smurfs. Your matchmaking is broken beyond measure. You should fix it before players stop playing Dota 2 like I did. It's disappointing. I have deleted the game @Steam

    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

    @wykrhm The games needs to be fixed every time I boot up @DOTA2 and q up for the first match of the day and accept it doesn’t connect & puts me on 2 min cooldown EVERYTIME then it works fine no issues. Never had this problem until few weeks ago.

    @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.

    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

    @TorteDeLini @DOTA2 She has mana issues sustaining the Q I think. I’m gonna guess if you want to build her for max efficiency you basically just build her like Lina and go passive first with falcon blade maelstrom into other stuff but I also haven’t been able to test everything

    When will @DOTA2 / @Steam let you keep voice line and stickers etc that you either paid for or grind for. It use to be that way before...what change? I want to keep some of my old voice line not disregard them because there's new 1s to pay for. Please fix
