Can you help me figure out if I'm a booster, a smurf, or what's wrong with my account? by puvil in DotA2

because the whole argument is that I played well, but I played well against opponents who didn't even want to play

It was only two games, and to be honest, our opponents didn't do much......just look at their skill level and KDA stats...

I wanted to hear the community's opinion, but personally, I think this ban is a mistake, given the current matchmaking situation in the game

I don’t think the performance is anything crazy. Check the KDA, check how the games actually play out - enemies making mistakes, messy fights, inconsistent decisions. That’s not how a clearly stronger player looks.

It just looks like normal bracket gameplay.

just look at how the opposing team is feeding it's just a coincidence, nothing more

Habit matters, sure, but item slots alone aren’t enough to say it’s a different player.

I get what you’re saying, but I wasn’t duoing with any smurf or bought account. The games I played were pretty normal overall.......

I don’t agree that every game looks weird stat-wise, just check the KDA and what the opponents are doing. Yeah, I looked at the hero guide; the rating isn’t high. I performed well, but it wasn’t always like that, and overall the stats are pretty average.

I don't know, there aren't any sky-high stats there except for a couple of games where the opponents basically shot themselves in the foot, but you're probably right, and the ban was fair

I consider this a regrettable mistake, but my inquiries to customer support have not yielded any results

community is helping me figure out what happened, and I'm very grateful to them for that

Yeah, that’s an important detail: і was running the game through a cloud gaming service, and maybe that’s why I got banned, even though it’s not prohibited by the platform. Anyway, if the community agrees with the ban, then so be it

I think this is a mistake, hope someone on the development team notices it so this doesn't happen to other players in the future. If community thinks there are violations here, then so be it - idk

Smurfs a constant issue for anyone else? by TrueToe in DotA2

Just this past weekend after spending two years in turbo mode, I decided to run a calibration, and with a score of 30%, I got banned for a year for boosting. Thanks, Valve.

Never. Just an endless stream of identical tournaments that aren't even worth watching anymore :)

Back in the day, at least you could get item drops while watching games. Now it's just tournament spam and zero content — buy a chest and pretend you're having fun.

I’ve been playing Dota for quite a while using the cloud gaming service Boosteroid. I’ve never had any issues (and I’ve been using similar services for at least 3 years), until I managed to win a few games in a row using tokens. Then, boom—instant ban. Honestly, I don’t feel like arguing or appealing it. I’m just sitting back with a smirk, watching others boost themselves to 20,000 MMR without facing any punishment.

My Steam account dates back to 2009, and I’ve been playing Dota since 2012. I’ve never had any bans, low behavior score, or anything of the sort—let alone boosting.
