Dota 2

This game is unplayable . Goodbye Dota 2, You wasted so many hours of my life
after about 5k hours on Dota 2 and few thousand hours in Dota 1, I finally decided to stop playing this garbage

Why ? I used to be 3.5k MMR, They when it got to medals, I was a Legend 1
I watched this game go downhill year after year.
Heck, when Valve targets pre teens with its tournaments, this is what you get.

Getting teamed with [the certain group of people that if I name them I'll get called a racist] who speak 0 English and never help with the team, then getting awful teammates game after game who either feed or go afk jungle or don't know what a neutral item is

HOW is it possible to get WORSE in this game? I literally played around 7k hours combined in Dota 2 and 1 and somehow everyone else got better while I got to Guardian 3 .

Then, I had a little hope, I thought I could reset my mmr and at least go back to Archon, Won 7 games out of 10, got Guardian 5....

This game is beyond dead at this point, Its filled with pre teens and people with no knowledge of English or Dota mechanics

5k hours I wasted on this trash. No more. Time to stop.
A game that forces you to cooperate with useless excuse of human beings who can't speak a single word of English is beyond unfair and pointless .

I'm sure the super awesome people in this garbage community will pull up my word cloud and say "bUt U tOxIc mAtE"

Farewell to this trash its and trash community and its unfair matchmaking

had this game today where I told this dumb ♥♥♥♥ to go back or he dies but he didn't so he got killed and I called him a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tunnel vision dumb-ass then my team ganged up on me calling me toxic. Sometimes it feels like these people have some sort of form of autism I mean they just don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ listen.

Let's say that doesn't makes you toxic, but how exactly calling people you don't even know "poop" or s word can't be considered good and helpfull?

so yeah, they add stuff, people adapt, you don't, you lose mmr. Quite simple

It looks like you dropped from high skill bracket to normal skill bracket a few years ago, in the span of about 100-200 matches. You had pages and pages where you spammed certain meta heroes. So you may have been good with certain heroes when they were high on the meta, but it looks like you began dropping sharply when they weren't.

If you live by the meta, you die by the meta. If you have the mechanical skills of a low/mid Legend ranked player then then you should still have the mechanical skills of a low/mid Legend ranked player now. That said, as you get older, your mental and physical reflexes typically get slower and stiffer, so yes, it's possible to play a game like Dota 2, which involves a lot of mechanical skill, game knowledge, with a meta that's constantly shifting and changing, physical and mental dexterity, and get worse at it. Professional esports players get arthritis too.

As far as players not speaking the same language, that's why there's a universal chatwheel and ping system. If you're currently playing in Guardian as you said, then you should be able to communicate everything you need with the chatwheel and pings. Your public chatlogs as you pointed out yourself contain a variety of insults, profanity, homophobic slurs and racial/ethnic bashing that I suspect don't help you or your teammates' gameplay in any way, shape or form. I understand that players get spicy sometimes, to a degree, but when stuff like that starts becoming your most used words, you're not helping yourself or your teammates.

Additionally, you're playing on EU servers. There are 24 officially recognized languages throughout Europe, of which English is only one of them. And people who speak those languages that you don't seem to like, don't just live in one country in Europe, they live throughout the entirety of Europe, east, west and in the middle and in adjacent countries and regions.

If it's so terrible cooperating with other players that don't speak the same language, even though the game gives you the tools to do so, then you should join or create your own party, join a guild, join a discord clan maybe, or just join a LFP/G party in the in-game user channels.

If you still have that itch to play a moba there are other games that might be more your speed like Mobile Legends, HOTS or maybe LoL, but I think any similar team-based game that you play, you're going to eventually have the same problem. Video game players have been making the same complaint about solo matchmaking (or mixed party) being unfair for decades. It's not because every single video game company ever is trying to hold you back from your obvious greatness. It's because there are simply too many factors in random solo pubs to guarantee that all players have the exact same skill, same experience, same playtime and are always 100% on their game.

agreed!

today I got 3 teammates.
hard support, invoker, but farmed no support, dragon knight that maxed out second skill that increase 25 damage and 0.25 second stun duration for each point he put to the skill, and midlane that picked tinker even there is vennom counter him already.
tinker teleported to bot even bot had many heroes therem so I saved him by sacrificing myself, but still after he backed, he went bot again to the outpost where enemies had just took the tower, and he died there..

that tinker is pretty arrogant and tries to find excuse by blaming me, navigate to me just that even when he died, he died by himself.

it is just suck.

1-2 years ago I quit this game, then I returned 2 days ago, the situation is same nothing much

Alas, this is the same person who were asking region lock for russians, I' don't even think they read comments like that since same complains keep coming over and over again from same people

In a European server everybody is expected to speak english this doesn't include russians. That why they have their own server and they should stay there. I've met people from at 50 countries in Europe and all of them spoke English except for russians. They are braindead and their culture is limited same goes for their education system.

Again, Russian and Slavic speaking players don't just live in Russia. The live throughout Europe. *You* might expect everyone to speak English but no, every single person in Europe doesn't have to speak English because some people are salty about losing in a video game. As OP (BitBleed) pointed out himself, he hasn't been using the in-game chat very productively himself so it seems pretty obvious that it wouldn't make some massive difference. He's playing in Guardian bracket. You don't need to have conversations with your teammates in Guardian. The universal chatwheel and ping system are more than enough for that.
