GJ, Valve. No interactions between players = no toxicity. Right?
Because since your last AMAZING update I hear/read exactly 0 words as people dare to communicate no longer in order to evade at least 2 types of limitless reports.
TERRIBLE, FEARFUL and IRRITATIVE pings are prohidited so I need to wait for MERE 30 secs to singal my team about anything, so this toxic feature is also reduced. Though I suppose you need to delete pings completely. Along with chats.
As I said, GJ in fighting againt logic... I mean againt toxicity.

You can communicate if you have anything constructive to say and have the score to do so.

U-huh. Little naive kid thinking AI will distinguish 'anything constructive' and real toxicity.
BTW, we have an example of similar system in HotS where bots banned people for 'GG', or 'LoL', or 'what are you doing'.

How often do people really use voice/text chat for anything constructive in Dota matches? really?
the silence is better than toxicity its a step in the right direction. After all if you have nothing nice to say might as be quiet

exactly.

simply by asking your teammates why did you do this and why they did they do that can be something they don't want to hear. same as suggesting items or strategies can come out as condescending even tho your intent may have been friendly.

its simply better to not talk at all. things you consider friendly or helpful can be toxic to someone else, you never know. but overall there is no reason to talk. input is not needed. game is perfectly playable without any speaking.

You need to get creative son? I have been playing dota for over a decade and I can tell you, people have tried ignoring me and the solution to that is simple: Find a way to provoke them, a way that they cannot ignore. There's the classic follow them take their exp/steal their farm, if your hero can grief them by displacing their location there's another one, pausing is also a timeless classic, really there's a lot of options take your pick. Just because you can't communicate it doesn't mean you can't get the message across that they are sub humans.

You can report them for griefing then the current system has improved a lot so it checks their activities and makes sure they get punsihed
Get gud behavior noob

Its not the best solution but its been great! Coupled with "Gabens Passive" and "Patronizing" chat wheel, its been hillarious.

Be better if they just removed behaviour score all together so that all players could just play their main accounts, as they wouldn't all be in shadow pool by meh, this will do at least we can work behavioru scores back up to normal now :)

I did this in all chat so valve can ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ see it and kiss my ass. Another game, my support decided to tri lane top at minute one which meant I couldn't contest 2 waves so I afked and griefed my carry. And I can proudly say I can que into another game and do it again.
But have you tried the new system yet? maybe you should chill with some turbo or normal games for a while
The new system is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It's basically trying to stop people from being toxic. It subscribes to the modern way of thinking that we need to bottle in our "desires" till those desires become poison and we tell ourselves poison is wholesome food. Stopping people from being toxic? Might aswell stop people from breathing while you're at it.
