    so all the russians i and other people get are using VPNs =)

      how many turks are in ur bracket lmao
      i only heard about 1 high mmr turk and that was neqroman who was the first to hit 7k(i think? or was he top of the leaserboard for a while, doesnt matter)
      its just another factor in matchmaking like behavior score, i got a game with some euros(easterners id guess because their english was terrible) today because they couldnt find enough people that are close to me geographically i think

      Totentanz to The King: M ...

        thats why i said "other people". though tbh where i live in turkey is closer to eastern europe than the rest of turkey anyway so it would be normal for me to not get turkish players even if that system was actually in place. its probably just confirmation bias honestly. people in america (which shouldnt have a player problem) regularly get peruvians in their games as i said, so.

        one syllable anglo-saxon

          ill be honest in that i have no idea whats happening but here are some things that are facts:

          * i got a huge increase in the amount of russians in my games, amounting to 90-95%(ure not gonna argue its subjective i hope, i believe i can yet determine if some1s russian or not, especially when they use mics)
          * using german vpn reversed the effect(not so certain of that one in particual, but i dont recall but one person i could for sure tell is russian, no cyrillics anywhere, every1 who used mic had a western euro accent and there was minimal engrish in chat)
          * triple had the same happen to him
          * arin gets little to no russians (correct me if im wrong on this one, arin)

          - all since the update, the very same that introduced "language-based matchmaking", yet what they described in the blog doesnt seem to work at all, and instead entirely different things happen

          even if it doesnt happen to americans or happens selectively for whatever fucking reason, it doesnt cancel that it happens. if tomorrow the snow in my city turns red and every1 i know confirmes its red for them too but canadians at the same time have normal snow im not gonna assume we our vision got collectively fuck up overnight, i will assume that its fucking RED

            if u dont believe me get the fucking tunnelbear, tunnel to russia and see how that goes for ya, its not a lot of work to set up

              well idk i dont really believe in stereotypes anyway. shit players are shit players, good players are good players, no matter where they are from. either way you should do what you want to, for the "placebo"

                oh wait nevermind they have no servers in russia 4Head

                tunnel to germany then, works too - u dont get many euros in ur games now do u?

                Totentanz to The King: M ...

                  as i said, i dont pay attention to that. i dont care as long as they can speak english, even if its broken. if a game is lost it just becomes a flamefest anyway and everyone just throws out insults.

                    ud have to be pretty stupid to "not believe in stereotypes" because most have at least some foundation under them

                    the opinion that an average russian dota player is a worse teammate than an average euro is not exactly an opinion and it just takes to look at the history and the current trends in the community to see exactly why(for one, the majority of players have evilarthas/alohadance/some garbage russian boosters as their most "viral" personalities and all of the above mentioned are absolute disaster to play with most of the time)

                    for example the same sotry is with the stereotype of a stupid black criminal-pusher-gangbanger-whateverthefuck - the crime rates ARE higher among blacks, not because the statisticians are racist or biased but because shitting on a group of people for several centuries inculing enslavement, segregation, murder and finally leaving them alone(read - leaving them to live in piece of shit ghettoes with bare minimum income, garbage education and as such almost no way to get out of the trench) yields exactly that

                      i confirm the change in region lock system
                      the share of russians in my games in solo q changed from 40-60% to CONSISTENT 100%

                          "region lock" is just as fake as "behavior score f" :-DD

                            also have to say that i didnt have the problem with russians ive been queued with prepatch - they acted like normal human beings and were decent teammates and breaking items or going amulet was a one in 30 games occurence(for reference i had my teammate destroy items/afk at least 3 times last two days)

                            it might have something to do with the fact they now know everyone else is russian around them, although i have NEVER seen anyone anywhere except me or triple acknowledge that, and that also shouldn't be the reason to just be a piece of shit consistently like people i play with do now

                              i think people are more judgemental towards their own countrymen. i really hate playing with turkish players, they are the worst of the fucking worst, horrible pieces of shit. i dont mind russians though. as i said, i only hate people who do not speak english or people who excessively use mic for no reason. no one goes around saying "finnish players are the worst" because no one even realizes they are finnish in the first place. all the stereotypes (in the dota at least) mainly come from communication problems.

                                someones rating is directly tied to their ability to win games in the past

                                the biggest reason ur gonna have a shit player has less to do with nationality and more to do with being emotionally frail

                                        there are exceptions but i'd say that like 90% of my teammates are non-russians as well
                                        also it happens rather often that there's like 3 people from the enemy team arguing in cyrillic alphabet in the post game chat which would only support that theory

                                                                                      people simply lack the ability to work towards a common goal honestly. everyone wants to do it their own way, which is fine, but they should understand that, at the end of the day, we are all here to win the game. so winning is the only thing that should matter, not how you achieved it. people just get overly dramatic about everything all the time. you just suggest a fucking item and tell them "maybe you should get a bkb" and they say shit like "DONT TELL ME HOW TO PLAY YOU BITCH". just, fucking why? not everyone has malicious intents under everything they do.
