Punishment for Griefers

[w0of0o]

Can anyone tell me what is the punishment for griefers? I have been playing this game since 2016 but griefers are getting more and more. No matter what update dota brings you can see lots of griefers in any rank. why dota wont consider more severe punishment for griefers so players stop ruining games? If a player know he will get a hard punishment he wont do stuff like destroying items or intentional feed. good punishment is like losing 10x mmr or more.

there isn't any punishment for going into ranked and ruining a game by not playing to win

this is why this game is dead. my last game this pudge stole my gem so i couldn't do ♥♥♥♥ for at least 5 mins

and my PA on my team just afk losered the game completely

i can't rank up when the matchmaker can't REMOVE PLAYERS who dont belong in ranked

THE ONLY REASON THE ENGLISH DOTA FORUM IS SO FLOODED WITH RUSSIAN LANGUAGE POSTS IS BECAUSE EVERYONE AND I MEAN EVERYONE IS CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MATCHMAKING SYSTEM BEING TOTAL TRASH EVER SINCE THIS "BEHAVIOR SCORE" WAS INTRODUCED JUST BECAUSE THE BOTS THE DEVELOPERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO PROGRAM AS "SIDE PROJECTS" SO THEY CAN GET A JOB AT A DIFFERENT COMPANY THAT CAN ACTUALLY RUN A PROPER GAME LADDER WILL CONSIDER THEM AS THEIR BOTS WILL PASS THE "TURING TEST" A LOT EASIER IF EVERYONE JUST ASSUMES EVERYONE IS MUTED AND IT'S NOT SOME LOSER DEVELOPER'S SIDE PROJECT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE GAME WILL BE DEAD BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE GAME BUT RATHER THEIR EXIT PLAN AFTER THEY'RE DONE COMPLETELY RUINING WHAT COULD BE A GOOD GAME.

go ahead, read that again "developer". fix the game or nobody and I mean nobody will respect you. losers.

why don't you go back to your blizzard roots and say "if you're not happy with someone talking to you, THEN YOU MUTE THEM YOURSELF" ok it's not that hard to put a proper policy in place. it isn't like kids are picking up this game OK, there is no "uptake mechanism" ever since your d-bag racist custom games were introduced just so DOTA could be its own game. And if you don't understand how that relates to "YOUR JOB" you really do need to get to work on those AI-game-bots LOSERS. Because this game is dying. Get ready to jump ship if you don't F K N comprehend what I just said because this game isn't popular. The only thing people talk about when I hear DOTA is how trash the matchmaking is.

The punishment is already harsh: to climb behavior score, it takes much more effort than before, and to drop is much easier. The lower you drop in behavior, the worst kind of people you end up playing with.

There is Low Priority, there are time bans (like 3, 5 days or even perma bans).

The only thing you can do, really, is to report people at the end of the game that did those things - if you have Dota +, just avoid them. If you feel like someone is cheating, you can also report that person profile.

And of course, try playing with +4 friends when you can: you also the have the option to call GG to end the game sooner.

Dota is 50% social skill / 50% gaming skill. Sadly, a lot of people lack on the first ruining games as they vent off their frustrations.

This is my behaviour score as of today https://imgur.com/ROtSE1r.png
To me it makes no difference to player behaviour, i still more often than not get players who don't play the game in the first place and players who immediately turn hostile when the game doesn't look like a stomp in their favor.

Just wanted to add. currently in another game, where pos3 decided not to play 5 minutes into the game.

Behaviour score doesn't do anything

What makes it more attractive to grief than to play normally? When there is nothing to win besides making people angry? You can fight single offenders with punishments. But once griefing turns into an daily, ubiquitous behavior you have to think about the game design.

Maybe because nothing in this game matters, wins are shallow, stomps are regular, and rank is a luck indicator at best. So why not fk around and find out?

The playingfield is treated by players how it is treated by Valve.
