    @DOTA2 Fix ur matchmaking

  • JonDasing Jonathan Das (@JonDasing) reported

    How many developers would it take for @DOTA2 to fix its broken matchmaking algorithm? Even the Singularity would crash trying to answer this. I'm now hoping the influx of newbies after watching Dragon's Blood will further aggravate the situation. Greatest game my ***.

    Honestly the whole smurfing/boosting problem in Dota 2 will be the end of the game, honestly how they can sit in game chat and say they aren't doing anything wrong is beyond me ruining the game for others! VALVE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ITS RUINING YOUR GAME @DOTA2 #dota2 #valve

  • rushi__rami Rushi Rami (@rushi__rami) reported

    Smurfing is the real issue dota 2 should be solving @DOTA2 @DOTABUFF @DotaCinema

  • Saadi97070551 Saadi (@Saadi97070551) reported

    @DOTA2 @netflix @NXOnNetflix Why is it so laggy? Almost feels like an fps lag. Should be at least 60fps.

  • Haoshoku river (@Haoshoku) reported

    @ElliottVenczel @DOTA2 specific games aren't the problem, humans are, there is nothing that involves humans that is non toxic, as most humans are trashy scum

  • aliftriantoo Alif (@aliftriantoo) reported

    Why is my matchmaking so broken? Teammates ruined my game😭 @DOTA2

  • theysayanonim minonA (@theysayanonim) reported

    @DOTA2 not opening on Linux. Please fix it.

  • wrsndm_ 老余 (@wrsndm_) reported

    @baipi_funny @DOTA2 @valvesoftware Apparently as a result of his serious mental issues shown in his words

  • prasham_jain Prasham Jain (@prasham_jain) reported

    @wykrhm The recent @DOTA2 update crashes the game as soon as it launches for Ubuntu. It is same as the last time around 17Dec 7.28. This was patched with a small update afaik. Please fix it asap. Thanks in advance!

  • alphadealr alphadealr (@alphadealr) reported

    @DOTA2 @valvesoftware Fix your reporting system and your low priority stuff. No one can learn the game if you can get reported and have to play in low priority, in all honesty you should just remove low priority altogether, its stupid and ruined your game.

  • shad0w_wa1k3r shad0w_wa1k3r (@shad0w_wa1k3r) reported

    @DOTA2 Awesome, now fix the DPC and support low tier teams and regions so that I can come back!

  • NggaRam Don_Romadhon (@NggaRam) reported

    @DOTA2 server down ?

  • NotRobParkerFS1 Jeff Sucker (@NotRobParkerFS1) reported

    The problem with @DOTA2 @IceFrog is they trying so hard to balance the game by nerfing other heroes instead of making all the heroes stronger.. they making some heroes unusable in the process.

  • Jenjen85165306 Jenjen (@Jenjen85165306) reported

    @DOTA2 did you lack of money????, because your Singapore major look like our "TURNAMEN KAMPUNG", go fix it before the rest of us coming here

  • Ip0dtats Matt Claros (@Ip0dtats) reported

    @DOTA2 game always crashed... anybody else having the same issue?.. everyone on the lobby says the same happened to them... :(

  • MoodAndMelody Nick (@MoodAndMelody) reported

    @jhordanrizal @DOTA2 Or, you know, unprecedented events causing problems.

  • theysayanonim minonA (@theysayanonim) reported

    @DOTA2 Hello dota. Can you fix problem "Dota can't open on Linux OS". 😒

  • Haoshoku river (@Haoshoku) reported

    @Ratapai_ @ElliottVenczel @DOTA2 soloq is still the way to go & in general it's not that hard to fix matchmaking & make it reasonably fair, just have to make individual impact & skillceiling high enough to carry deadweight and put a ranking system in place that doesnt just factor in win:loss but also performance

  • alphadealr alphadealr (@alphadealr) reported

    @DOTA2 @DOTA2 you guys need to fix your low priority system. I have been playing by the rules now for a long time and people can randomly report you so you get put in the low priority queue. Fix your game man, 75 minutes in a queue because no one plays anymore.

  • OkDamage OkDamage (@OkDamage) reported

    @NXOnNetflix @DOTA2 I love Dota 2. Its sad that I am having mini freeze that makes the game unplayable, it happens every now and then and oftentimes during fights. Its super frustrating because I haven't been able to find a solution, even though I have no issue playing any other game.

  • suskatti Suskatti (@suskatti) reported

    @DOTA2 Gotta say really impressive changes. The direction you guys (Dota2 team) have taken this seems to be helpful for new players. Although this also means the bots need to be updated when certain things such as item recepies change, been a problem in the past. Nicework! ...

  • crabbynerd crabby (@crabbynerd) reported

    @netflix trusts their automatic video quality so much that they don't give any option to choose your preferred quality. So 2nd Episode of @DOTA2 anime is only loading in 240p for me. Every other show loads in 4K without any issues. Guess who has to look for "alternatives" now?

  • AurynMinh Auryn Minh (@AurynMinh) reported

    @DOTA2 Pro players have smurfs. Are you going to force them to only play on their main accounts from now on? It looks like you'll only be enforcing your regulations on those who aren't already at the top. That's what hurt your community. The problem will repeat itself shortly.
