Dota 2
Dota 2 is designed to keep you at low rank.
This is less of a complaint post, its a reality post. I can join 100 games and at least 75 of them only one person speaks English on my team. The rest are more than willing to flame you but cant speak a single lick of English other than "report x person". There is a culture of reporting in sub 8k behavior score that keeps everyone in it.

Is it even worth ranking up to archon+ etc? Or is this just the reality of all dota games now? Role queue does nothing. no one cares

Dota is designed for teamwork.
if you dont like random teammates.
try selfpicked teammates.

Yea, at this point you have to play in a premade of at least 3 people or else you don't stand a chance of ranking up.

Valve aggressively changed DOTA to appeal to premades, which has made the game incredibly imbalanced, abusable, and frustrating to play as solo que.

Here in SEA, it's 40/60 that people speak English where most understand some English, we just use the pings, markers like ! or X, and swearing. Everybody understands the swearing, not everyone is on the same page with the symbols, some use X for go here, but sometimes "delete" that guy. What loses games is never language though.

Language is never the case, just some serious skill issue. I can create dozen of new accounts it will land at 4k - 5k.

6k kinda hard to calibrate for me, but for high rank immortals they can do it easily.

YES IT IS. It is scientifically proven.

tbh, you don't need to communicate much at lower ranks. Simple stuff like pinging the map or item/ability cooldowns is almost always sufficient. When people starting talking it's usually to "coach" others into playing better which is just a lost cause.

Easy for us to see some players dislike teamwork or live nicely in good tolerance of voices because people who dislike majority voices when it comes to a degree of decision making, then it generally can prove that individual as greedy with high ego for personal benefits.

Teamwork or tolerance is very important in our lives because this universal world is created for us to live while peacefully enjoy our nonstop competition towards the future through the methods of learning and improving nonstop as well. Those who want to dominate anything, I bet they should go kneel their God first.

If only players would take consequences from their strong believes.

Depends on what you call low, with amount of time you have played, you should be at least 5-6k mmr

If you play with good communication with your teammates through the mic use, I believe you can make the same thing like those immortal players. Your standard about the same as those.

Mic usage is very sensitive and that's why many EU players complained about the different languages used within that region but they cannot simply control the rights of other players (in language use).

The Dota 2 games can be led or carried nicely if there is at least one team leader (captain) who speak by using the mic communication. Besides, the solo or single gaming isn't recommended because it is hard for the player to build up a strong composition before any startup of the game match.

Dota 2 is designed based on Dota 1 experience.

regardless of rank you might get this kind of treatment. gets worse as you go up.
if they can't understand english then don't speak. use pings or draw map. even complete crap know when to press zeus ult when you ping enemy low hp.

designed to keep you at low rank?? then tell me how is it possible to have high rank players? OR even boosters!!
if you cant rank up, it means you are where you belong BUT also it means you dont know how to rank up, so take the advice of others here and play in full party which will solve your issue with No English Speaking players and also lower the chance of getting trolls or bad players in team.
