Dota 2
2 Hour Queue just to get overwatch ban? Queue times unreal below 9k BS.
Or all you just use to it?

33 min queue...

(Longest yet 2 hour queue but only shows 40 min)

These screenshots are from this weekend.

This is on US West and East with what I consider a decent BS score for Turbo. My hidden MMR should be around Legend.

I could post another 20 screenshots of 20 min queues.

Not sure if I should just accept the fact to play Dota I will spend more time queuing then actually playing the game. Then you gotta factor the high probability of the game being trash for all the reasons you guys already know. (language barrier, griefers, etc.)

WTF happened Valve. Dota use to be fun with queues so short you would be afraid to leave your computer. Now I think its getting time to leave...

I just got a game. Literal 2 hour queue for Turbo. 2:15am-4:10am

Yes, I realize what time it is. Doesn't change that Dota wasn't always like this.

Update- Two players on the enemy team fought for mid. One guy abandoned then everyone left. This is what I mean by high probability of "trash" games.

Same person but on a different account now...

So after that 2 hour queue, then another 20 min wait for nothing I decided to switch accounts to my old main at 10k BS.

I got a game in two minutes.

So if your below 9k BS realize your getting screwed by the system.

Well I got 3 games on this 10k BS score account before I got banned for 4 hours for a game I did the most damage, tanked the most damage, got the most kills and didn't talk or flame.

The first two were similar games and I did well in both so IDK WTF.

From here on out. I will report everyone in every game win or loss. Thanks Gaben, I will build the muscle memory to report all 9 players immediately after the game ends. This clearly how we should be playing.

You have to be a real piece of ♥♥♥♥ to get overwatch banned at 10k behavior. Stop grief queue and do something else.

Stop griefing? This is the game I got banned...

If you look a the stats I'm clearly not the problem. In fact I'm pretty much the whole team.

I got a 4 hour ban yet and this 4k dmg Ursa walks free. Not only that he picked Ursa in the previous two games and lost both times.

The 1-7 Razor that fed and did half my damage gets to walk free.

The supports that bought less support gold than me and they get to walk free.

Frankly the fact I can even get reported in a game like this is insane.


This game is trash now. Haven't even got a game on my lower 8k BS account since I posted.



And in my experience every roughly 1k hours I get banned for game I did nothing just like this one. I'm sure I can't be the only one. The account has 4k hours and I have only got low prio twice.

You don't know which game got you banned, it doesn't tell you. If you got overwatch banned then you're getting mass reported in a lot of games. Which means your behavior in someway gets you reported by multiple players every game. That's not normal at 10-12k bs.

You can check your reports in steam. I got 4 during that match. So either 4 reports in one game = 4 hour ban. Or I was thinking if the reports are all sent at the same time then maybe their more impactful.

I don't play on that account and I only signed in because the queue times at 8K BS are unbearable.

I been everywhere from 7.5k-12k. It's the games where someone calls out a scapegoat and everyone else jumps in and reports which in my experience are the most likely to get banned. That didn't happen during that Bloodseeker game I got banned which makes it that much more frustrating.

It should be around peak hours and yet my queue times are still over 10 minutes today for turbo at 8k BS.

This game man..

The BS system is BS. The game has been nearly ruined, valve can't do a thing right.

After they renamed CS:GO to CS2 and kept the same reviews for a game they claim is not the same thing I lost any faith in them doing anything morally right at all. No other company selling a game on steam could get away with that, I'm surprised there's no lawsuit.

its valve doing,

some kind of bizarre punishment, it ll stay like this for months till u raise score. try play without using chat at all, same goes with full "report", stop reporting ppl.

So far I been keeping up, 10 reports and 10 commends every game I played today. That's statistically the best thing to do to cover all your bases and get the maximum amount of increased score. I don't really like doing the reports in winning games but Valve has made me cynical I guess.

It just feels like with how terrible the system is in its current state that Valve has to do something soon but I likely could be wrong.

The only logical motive for Valve I can think of too keep this system would be give the very very best behaved players all the best games and leave the majority of the population in Gulag until they decide to quit.

And my other main "fun game" is New World and that is actually a dead game. I got lots of hobbies but atm not a lot of money or space to be doing them. League is an obvious choice but I got issues with the 2D graphics and mainly having to take 1000s of hours to learn the "champions" and hero chemistry.
