Dota 2 has become one big smurf pool

[Zockolade]

Go ban them all and delete Dota 2 from the library

[Sentient Entropy]

Yes yes, it's everyone else's fault that you're stuck in the shallow end of the player skill pool. These posts of yours are as refreshing as they are necessary.

if they ban all the smurfs they ban 75% of the "pro" scene and have no players for the international.

this a big problem, in EU server is problem with the russians gamer, because in own team EU player, and most smurf/Booster russians, and they than ever in enemy team! We can only make that do not pay anymore for Dota+, if enough people do that, maybe they solve the Smurf/booster problem!

[Onkel mephisto]

yes boosters in EU always were from Ukraine/Russia, you'd think they go die in the war but they are actually the ones refusing service, hide in their basement and make money with dota as a full time job.

Because of language we only get EU players (non-smurfs) and the occasional Immortalboost Booster Smurf that someone bought to increase MMR, unlock 100 hours or get out of low prio.

Smurfs will stay in dota2 because it is their full time job, the only way to get rid of them is for valve to rethink matchmaking completely.

For EU server it would already help to block all Ukraine/Russia IP adresses trying to connect.

yes and they should fire who ever manages the current system. its like valve has 0 accountability for its employees who are utterly failing at their job

it's true i just played a game where opponent viper had 700 wins from 1400 games and was MVP for nearly 50% of his wins. The cheaters and smurfs are so obvious and valve doesn't do ♥♥♥♥ to stop it.

[Onkel mephisto]

they did ban 65.000 accounts beeing smurfs/boosters, 10% of the playerbase.
few years ago they banned 20% of all accounts for beeing smurfs or using booster service.

but they refused to ban the main account also.
the ones in charge at valve are getting bribed by the booster mafia.

They refused to ban the main account and you know that how? ….

You said 700 win out of 1400.... thats a 50-50 Winrate. When I see a game where someone has 40-0 kill stat in a Legend bracket, that I believe is a smurf. When you have 30-6 stat, you just have a good game. I had games where I snowballed so hard that I have finished with 17-0 and some in the enemy team called me smurf. There are many factors and I belive that the community can live with it. You dont have smurfs in every game, you are just bad in dota Instead, fix the immortal matchmaking. Give them a reason to play.

Who still dare to announce or make statement that Smurfing is not allowed?

Smurfing isn't welcomed by the game actually, yet it seems just an unrecommended culture for the players. Depends on the players to decide their future there and learn to improve when they fall into any bad group.

Nothing the developer can do to stop this Smurfing, but the best way to reduce it is let the people to experience and learn from their actions. Meanwhile, the community may improve too.

Nothing to stop the curiousity as understanding is the key to balancing the world.

advise everyone to boycott Steam and play each person's house because it does not bring any benefit
nothing lasts forever and nothing is good forever

AFAIK, nothing can last forever. FYI, when I said "nothing" with the word of "can" for the situation of lasting forever, that can mean for something unsolvable by the human beings, the Black Hole mystery.

Do you study or research about that?

[oldschool]

you say that there is no way to fix the issue, i believe this is just wrong

the system needs to be more responsive to the players results....

the fact that it takes so long to grind mmr(which is intended) enables smurfs and boosted accounts to stay in the wrong mmr for a long time greatly increasing the amount of smurfs and boosters

a system that is rapidly dynamic about matching players based on their match outcomes would be far superior however valve has at least 10's of thousands of people addicted to MMR and getting rid of it would trigger them and not result in increasing play time in the short term... hard for companies to look past the quarterly earnings reports

[CEO of LOWPRIO]

Game sucks they have been called upon many times to deal with smurfs but don’t care. Go play something else and let this game die

Vavle need to do vac bans at the hardware level.
