Hey Valve, we fixed the Cheaters, now can we sort out these Account Buyers!?

I've been playing this stupid game for 11 years. 11 damn years this game has had me addicted and I love it… the small and large patches, the stupid mechanical bugs that would drop every time a new hero is out, the broken lore (who cares give me the hats).

But if there's one thing I don't like, it's these bullshit account buyers.

Today I got to experience something I hadn't seen before. Watching a friend play a turbo game where not 1…. but 3 players on the Radiant side were clear account buyers!! Three of them. 2 in one party, 1 in the other. To balance this out, they were put up against a leader-board ranked #2000 SEA player on Dire side (who absolutely thumped them).

This is becoming very common in casual games (Turbo etc) – I have been noticing that these same players who are purchasing boosted accounts have also played in ranked. One I re-checked earlier this week had even de-ranked from Immortal to low Ancient in like 2 months. Funny to think about, trash always ends up in the gutter… but I do feel for those people who are playing ranked games and do have this kind of crap happen.

This kind of thing needs to be looked at a lot more seriously, I remember tracking these kind of players in SEA on Overwolf when it was playing ranked – although this escalation is going to continue to leave a negative impact on the overall gaming experience, leading to unfair match ups and frustration for those who play the game legitimately.

To make matters worse, the accounts that I have checked and reported are mostly still active. Many I've come across even have thousands worth of cosmetics in their accounts.

How is this allowed in the game?
