Hi, i have been playing dota for almost 11 years and i can tell that situation in ranked games werent worse in any phase of dota2.
I have been 10k behaivour most of the time… and still i can tell that the behaivour system doesnt work!
First reason is that how u can get better behaivour, most of players will play group matchmaking or playing turbo with everyone muted and they wont even try to engage negotions or talking… it means they wont change attitude and after reaching 10 k they will tilt in 10 k behaivour games, making those games anoying and they will drop to 2k and then rise again through groups and turbos… that means behaivour system games dont save nice ppl against toxic ppl and it doesnt teach toxic ppl to change they communication
Second proof of why the system doesnt work is how its lowering the number and how u get it… if you get reported, it doesnt care if its right or not, you get just -points and its more points then when u get comended… then why there are even commends, that means if u get reported by 1 person and then u get reported by other in same game u still drop the behaivour points…
I have been talking about communication now but why the hell there exists mute button when u can report ppl for thing that u are unable to use that button… i am using mute button almost every game and this sollution is best, if someone is anoying u just mute him EZ the report system should be for griefing
Sollution is simple, premute ppl who are often reported for communication abuse, dont lower behaivour for it. For those who griefs lower behaivour after overview by player! And if they get too many ban him from matchmaking for day or few and let him lower the time by low prio matches… then there is last thing so called smurfing, boosting, acc buying, sollution is atleast try to find those accs and block them! Finding those accs is not that ez how some ppl say, but its not extremly hard too, if he has 6 winstreak 20/3 atleast look on that profile!
Please be polite in comments, and sorry for my terrible english
