Dota 2

DOTA2, serve the English speakers.
You can make anyone play your game but let them speak English.
When communication is a key component to the game, we don't want to see Tagalog, Slavic, and Chinese characters causing pure chaos.
The game started English, keep it English. :cozyrealmroyale:
There's no proof that making the game chaotic & multilingual pleases your customers.

I'm asking for IN-GAME communication to be English.
Names & Lobby-talk can stay multilingual, I don't care about chit-chat that goes on out-side of the game.

The team sets the communication standards not the developers.

We keep hearing complaints "Why are we seeing Russians" "Why are we seeing Chinese spoken" and you think it's healthy that this keeps continuing to happen?
It'll be a QoL improvement if we could speak a common language when playing with random others.

English Language is not the 1st language for

1) Russia

2) Spain

3) France

4) Turkey aka Turkiye

5) Italy

6) Poland

7) Germany

--------------------------------------

thus as a result, you CAN'T FORCE PEOPLE to SPEAK a Language that isn't their 1st Language at all.

----------------------------------

not only that, Multiplayer Online Games are meant for everyone to speak their own language freely without RESTRICTIONS.

---------------------------------

people will just leave the game if there is only 1 Language Available to use in the Game.

current world population is

The current population of World in 2024 is 8,118,835,999

total people who learn English Language

1.5 billion English learners

--------------------------------------------

in other words, 6.618 billion people never learn English Language at all.

i agree with you.

people like OP don't understand that there are other methods of communication in Multiplayer Online Games at all.

-----------------------------------------

those type of people only thinks that

1) using mic

2) typing messages in the in-game match chat

are the only communication in the game.

------------------------------------

not everyone Speaks English Language

Writing and reading English Language, every single English Learners can do

but speaking it out is a complete different thing.

thus as a result, very few people will use the Mic to Speak English Language.

Still, I see a responsibility on the team side. It‘s even a question of competitiveness. If people don‘t care about with whom they play pushing that lazy play button in solo queue they agree with the given circumstances. If it‘s really important and more than a question of convenience than take care of it for competitiveness sake. On one hand people say communication is key but then they don‘t care about it.

Why they shouldn't?
Label "EU" shows where the SERVER LOCATED.
People are living in different parts of their country and some people are forced to play where their ping is lower.

Valve won't force people to communicate only in English, so stfu.

I guess you are one of them then.

actually every player even in single mode can choise language preference, the problem is that the server don't use that parameter to mix player, so is totally useless to have a choise actually, but try to go play in russina server and use english and ask to other to use english and look the answer and the bad language you get back as answer, so why have to be different for eu server?

Most of these replies don't make sense. You don't have to force everyone to speak English in order to fix this. You just have to force them to speak English if they select English in language preferences. I'm pretty sure it already groups people by their language preferences, and that's always been the problem here. Too many pick English for fast queue times and don't speak English.
