Help: how can I avoid russians in MM? in General Discussion
papi ares - high fly rye

    I think topic says it all. Im so tired ending up in teams with russian, who in genereal dont give a shit about everything. They dont know how to communicate, they don't know how to play, i rather think they dont know how to use their brain.
    I allways pick "english" as preferences, but I still end up with russians WHO CANT SPEAK ENGLISH! Can I do anything?

      Try us east if your have a good connection.

      Woof Woof

        actually us east has some russians way less than eu[e/w] but still... best bet is 5stacking
        most russians nowadays do their best to hide their origin

              US East is your best bet to avoid Russians, but you will get BR's here. Australian servers are too full of Pinoys so don't go there...
              Just 5stack or play in a league.

                            i dont see what the problem is actually.

                            why is language so important for you and these preferences share no value when it comes to finding a match, its just a preference and not option so if you queue for english, you'll get to meet people who queued russian or something else.

                                                          To play on the East US server and west EU server, despite having people who speak Spanish on the east us server, their level is clearly superior to the majority of Russians.
                                                          Russian in a team = 90% chance of losing :(

                                                              Lets put one thing to rest here, I do not sincerely believe that players skill is based on their region. Having a russian on your team is not a loss off the bat but can turn into one quite quickly and I will give some reasons why and hopefully put all these garbage topics to rest.

                                                              > Russians don't communicate well and are quick to anger which means they will flame you, flame their kind, and end up spoiling the game. This is not because they are in themselves bad players it is simply in their nature to be hot-headed.

                                                              > There is a communication barrier which can cause issues in a 5 man team game. A lot of the time when Russians appear to be doing their own thing it is simply because they don't know what is going on and neither want to get embroiled or flamed so simply run around not talking and doing their own thing which can cause issues if you need them to play alongside you.

                                                              > They all think they're Dendi. That is the truth of the matter, almost all russian accounts have pudge as a most played hero and will vehemently fight for mid and even just offlane pudge or wreck your farm as a carry cause they feel they are more important this is the more negative side of the russian playstyle; it's very greedy.

                                                              I think Russians should in fact queue on their own servers as it would safe a lot of misunderstandings and grief if they would but I think as well people could be a little less quick to judge as not all of them are that bad and a number of my friends are russians and are good natured and fun peeps.

                                                              This whole Russia/South America/Pinoy hate kinda needs to be put to rest. I know they have a tendency to ruin games but that is partially due to the angst they feel towards them as soon as they join a game and I think if you tried to be mature about it then it would all be ok e.g. I don't seem to have these issues and I play SEA/USE/EUE/EUW.

I frequently get Russians on my team who refuse to speak English. When I politely ask them, either by chat or microphone, to communicate with some English, they respond with (in English): ''Fuck you American, go eat hamburger, delete dota, you suck, cyka etc etc''. I am getting really tired of this, and I support region lock all the way.

                                                                                    Ethrealin
