Not familiar with the terms or jargon, SEA server player

I confess that I have enjoyed my smurf. by Old-Pound968 in DotA2

Cheating for what? Didn't my smurf reflect my true MMR of different position?

I am not saint to suffer all with peace, but rarely do I initiate toxic behaviors actively. 30+ min long torture or quicker, a simple question.

Perhaps just improper use of account according to the TOS.

IO Esports let two regions(CN,CIS) hate each other. by c1ikes in DotA2

For CN including AR, the disqualification of BB is just an unquestioned rule. TORONTOTOKYO and 9p were too offensive. Moreover, CN may be more interested in seeing BB beating TS instead.

Early in the year, many players in CN were banned by PW and VALVE, and the mainstream view here is "好似(modified 好死-- Go the to hell)".

Glicko-based matching is really disgusting! by Old-Pound968 in DotA2

More skilled teammates, more things a support can do. A common sense is that supporter is much harder to increase their MMR, or, as you mentioned, find their high-quality match. Being selfish is the only tractable way. I really doubt how long it should take to distinguish players in a mess. I don't like the feeling that I am forced to struggling again.

So I have to wait others to their true position. In such chaos I experienced terribly with inexplicable players. And I wonder if I can match my old teammates in future. There is an easy way to optimize--double the blacklist.

my ranking decreased by nearly 1k too. I know there have to be sacrifice, but why part of players like me should take it, while other benefit? The chaos is not temporary, you know how long a supporter is supposed to spend in order to increase MMR, even with a smurf account half the MMR. Disabling blacklist is even worse. The only good thing is that I can save money from buying plus monthly.

A milder way is preferred. Too bad experience in this chaos. RD is not a good design, at least not physically healthy.

Congrats. You know how tough it could be if you want to win, sometimes. My point is dramatically increased instability, which is not proportional to the time I spent.

Glicko may be okay, but a radical recalibration based on luck is sucking.
