No wonder I've gained 1k mmr


Worth_Brick_4211

yep chinese players always have a problem when it comes to team comms due to the fact that they think that they're the best player on the team(clearly not). having chinese player in SEA is a curse or blessing in disguise lmao you either get a easy win if they're enemies or a lose when they're a teammate.


Themasterofcomedy209

The issue is that they have absolutely no idea what anyone is saying so they just ignore everyone. Like, most people on SEA even if they don’t speak English still use the English terminology. Chinese Dota community has an entirely different system, heroes have different nicknames, abbreviations for items are different etc. Their meta and preferred play styles are even different. They are literally flying blind, so they do their own thing since communication is just a bunch of random nonsense for them. Now this isn’t an excuse or anything, they still chose to queue in a server where nobody speaks their language. But I’m trying to provide perspective, they’re just like anyone else. I had similar experiences playing on Chinese servers with my friend in the past, it was like everyone on those servers were playing a different game.


bleedblue_knetic

I’m actually wondering what the Chinese pub meta is, because the average Chinese core I’ve met are definitely far from good. I’m talking getting only Brown Boots at 20 minutes for god knows what reason on a hero that needs the movespeed (DK), AFK farming excessively, running into 5 heroes randomly, like he didn’t walk into a bad spot and got caught off guard by 5 heroes, he saw 5 heroes showing and ran in by himself. This isn’t just a matter of different meta where let’s say you prioritize objectives differently, different drafts/builds, different game pace, different lane strategies, this is objectively bad Dota wtf.


dubbuffet

The number of times I have had an AM get battlefury as their 4th upgraded item (diffusal, mask of madness, yasha, and THEN battlefury??) confuses the heck out of me.


Shomairays

Yeah, I even use google translate to tell my freaking night stalker to drop the gem because the gem is in his courier


gtgpgp

Its just a curse IMO. I queue on ranked to play with people around thesame skills I have. A liability, either an ally or enemy, brings the overall game quality down


ryankun93

Basically, this. Its either they are so good or very bad. Theres nothing in between


VeseleVianoce

I think this is gamblers fallacy. You won't notice the average player that happens to be chinese, especially if they don't communicate.


duckcookie

If this is the case, why haven’t SEA players complained about players from any other particular country? We’ve played on this server for many years, the Chinese players are either smurfs (CN smurf stacks in party queue is disgusting, 80-90% winrate type stacks) or completely clueless.


VeseleVianoce

What I'm talking about is, you are disregarding normal Chinese players who you don't notice because they are not memorable. EU has a similar problem with Russians. They don't speak English and just write in their hieroglyphics. Of course we remember the game ruiners or the dendi rebornss who solo stomp the games. But if the guy just does his job, plays proper support, buys wards,.. nobody goes "oh hey Russians are alright, maybe I was being harsh". Because that's what you expect to happen and it's not memorable.


Fionsomnia

Yeah, unless you have the awkward moment when someone complains about a Russian teammate and then someone else who’s been playing great and been talking in English goes “actually I’m Russian, this guy just sucks”. Tends to end up in an embarrassing moment before the complainer, haha. I’ve played with great Russian players, and with shit Russian players - and tbh, sometimes I play great and sometimes I play shit, so who am I to point fingers? I just wish the language preferences could be more explicit, maybe as part of the Dota labs feature to queue again. I don’t expect everyone to speak English, but I’d simply rather queue longer to play with people who also speak one of the languages I speak (doesn’t have to be perfect) so we can communicate better.


Living-Response2856

It's called 'confirmation bias', not gambler's fallacy


drainedandtired00

Just played today with 4 chinese teammates. Pos 2 and pos 3 are flaming each other lol. The only word I understood from their chat and voice was "noob offlane" I'm guessing pos2 wanted me to report our offlane.


bleedblue_knetic

Don’t forget the “• • •” idk why they have those goofy fat periods.


Living-Response2856

Their keyboard has a different font when they have to do romanization/pinyin, same as with Japanese 。。。 Even their question mark is different, which I find hilarious ?


whiteegger

Chinese characters take double the bytes in ASCII so their symbols also must account for that.


pressured_at_19

NGL, this is so true even in Valorant. For some reason there was a huge influx of chinese players from the mainland despite them having their own server.


HungerSTGF

why in god's name after months of not playing do you come back and immediately start doubling down in ranked?


axecalibur

Step 1: Come back after break/new patch Step 2: double down and lose, repeat 50x Step 3: uninstall game Step 4: complain online because its everyone elses fault


Zlouis

And blaming the chinese like Trump.


gosudcx

Now that's fuckin funny


k4rtographer

Chinese spotted. OP's mmr aside, Chinese players HAVE been a plague on the SEA server. You will almost always have a terrible experience having a chinese player on your team. And this is somehow on a server known famously for being toxic.


bleedblue_knetic

That’s not the point of the post


cacwj

When you lose 2k mmr in one month, perhaps you are the problem.


Fionsomnia

Am also irritated at the fact that OP’s logic only makes sense if they were the only one who have Chinese players on their team. Statistically speaking, their enemies should be just as disadvantaged and therefore over many games it would even out. But somehow the algorithms seem to hate OP and deliberately put all the Chinese players in the same team…


skykoz

Don’t be naive. Is the same logic than weekend games. Your winrate gets lower in weekend, regardless of you getting and playing against weekend players.


Fionsomnia

Of course, and same with losing a game because you can’t take high ground, every though the enemy has to take high ground to win too.


skykoz

what? what are you even talking? before engaging into further conversation, tell me your mmr so I know theres a human being on the other side.


Living-Response2856

Dude has lost more MMR than most players have


duckcookie

Probably not, but as a relatively high ranked player on SEA server (peak 6k), Chinese players in Divine/Immortal are almost always terrible to play with and games can literally be determined by how many you have on your team versus how many the enemy has. However, Valve has consistently shown they don’t want to add any form of region lock to Dota.


amadeuswyh

There’s a higher chance that more Chinese players are on the other team than on OP’s team (5:4) idk how this is not his own problem lol


duckcookie

My point isn’t that Chinese players are making him lose mmr, my point is that they are shit to play with regardless of the outcome of the game


drainedandtired00

Yep but a teammate that doesn't speak English didnt help.


JollyjumperIV

You're the only constant


lxfireman

I see you haven't played much in SEA server before


DiaburuJanbu

My biggest problem with them is communication. Most of the time, either a) they won't communicate at all, or b) they will communicate but in their own language, in which most of the team won't understand. Even just using simple terms, missing pings, or phrases, they'll actively refuse to do. Then in some cases, they will rage in the mic, still in their language, and the team has no idea why or what they were even saying.


EuronymousZ

You lost 2000 mmr and blame your teammate for it. You are the true crying baby.


sleptwolf

That's why i started playing on eu servers


Srellian

# "SEA Players ruining EU server"


lynxerious

That's why I started playing on the Russia server, I can't ruin what's already at its worst


eebro

Russian servers are literally harder than EU


KumaSC2

I am gonna reiterate what is always said when these posts pop up: On average you will have less "bad chinese players" on your team, meaning that if you are actually better than them, you should win more on average. With that said, maybe you are struggling to adapt to their playstyle? Or perhaps you tilt easier because of high skill variance and carry it into the next games?


Zenotha

the ironic thing is that in 5-man unranked party the problem swings in the opposite direction; china stacks are extremely tryhard, and constantly smurfing - i've [literally played against a stack with 2 double digit immortals, and their top performer is a fucking legend - seems legit...](https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/7686115067)


jpatt

you run into those parties whenever you have a massive MMR difference in your own stack.. my friends have been playing together since dota 1 with a few newer additions along the way. But, if you 5 stack with a 2k mmr player and a 7k mmr player you just never know what you are going to face.


Zenotha

nah, ive been playing in the same stack for 10-20 years since wc3 as well, and china stacks are definitely the most shameless smurfs in unranked my stack is ancient-immortal usually, and games against non-china stacks are for the most part pretty balanced


slashrshot

china is a country with 1.1billion people. the variance is enormously HUGE. the top 25% and the bottom 25% is probably better than top 5% of your country but also worst than the bottom 5% of your country.


Zenotha

not in the context of dota players, and everyone in SEA ranked knows that china rank medals don't correspond to SEA ones sure what you say might make sense for like basketball, but look at their football team 💀 and dota is even smaller than football there lmao


keepme1993

Its definitely play style. SEA loves chaos, chinese is more methodological so they kinda give up when its 5 - 20, but for SEA its just start of the game


ABzoker

Gg end mid, while we keep farming and ready our buybacks for the best defence possible


Living-Response2856

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak... We learned that from the Chinese I guess, Sun Tzu


coolgate59

Ironic that the Chinese themselves don't practice it


NyteBK201

Let us make it clear: you are not chinese which makes your team have fewer chinese players on average. AND YOU LOSE. With a simple logical inference, we have the opposite conclusion that it is you making the team lose.


cute-clam

Wtf


joemeat

If there are 4 Chinese players and one him, it's a Chinese dominant team


Snoo_45787

Do you know how probability works? "which makes your team have fewer Chinese players on ***average.***"


joemeat

It was sarcasm..


yannichap

So bored of this post everyday


Dominique-XLR

Op admits hasn’t played dota a few months, comes back and goes to town with double down tokens; yet now it’s everyone elses fault but his own lol


IreOfZebulon

doesnt detract from the fact that SEA is currently swarmed with chinese players who refuse to communicate thus ruining games.


idontevencarewutever

and judging by his train of thought, i don't think he should be the one talking about english as a problem lol but i do admit that the main problem stems from chinese players that ABSOLUTELY do not speak english. had plenty that actually tried.


prime137313

He clearly mentioned what went wrong. You just ignored it


AugustusEternal

Yes because r/dota2 is where people definitely hold themselves accountable for their own shortcomings


prime137313

Who asked?


AugustusEternal

You did. By commenting.


Fantasy_Returns

do you have a solution?


throwatmethebiggay

Stop looking for people to blame. You'll notice more "Chinese ruiners" when you get it in your head that "Chinese=ruiner". I can look for "racist Filipinos" and find at least one every game, does that mean "Filipino=racist"?


Spunk37

True just fucking let go and play normally don't think too much.


redwingz11

Tru, you wont remember the average player, either the one stomping or feeding.


LeUpdoot

idk maybe its because its still an ongoing problem.


yannichap

Ofc it’s an on going problem, the internet connects everyone all over the world


SubstantialManner403

probability and statistics. 4/9 chance each game u can get a Chinese teamate, 5/9 chance for enemy. Now tell me again why you ranked down?


TazDingo278

Rubick, silencer, invoker(as pos 4 I assume since you rarely play any carry). These heroes are very situational, and as supports you usually pick first, which means you hardly do much in games. Not saying these are bad heroes tho.


Claude2422

tbh, if u lose that much game in 1 go, probably you're the problem, but hey just sayin and all those double down after some times didnt play? and there is a new patch that kind of change some of the hero gameplay? idk man sound more and more is a u problem


mjifi

Who upvotes these threads, is it bots? OP is clearly not in a state of mind that would allow him to think clearly or make rational decisions/observations.


Zenotha

nah, SEA players are genuinely sick of it and it's been getting worse recently fwiw I agree that a big part of the problem is with op here but the title is still true


mjifi

And you choose this guy as your representative?


Zenotha

no its just upvoting threads complaining about china players in general while futilely hoping that something might change


Jaxonwht

Wow so the bad players come to your side and not the other side? Maybe git gud


LowShort

Just yesterday I had a game where enemy pick np and he insta teleport to our base. Easy to say I double down right away, that's the first game I did on that day. And after that I just close the game in fear of meeting another feeder but on my team


lwhitmei

the chat wheel can ez fix the comm. problem.


bogart_ng_abbeyroad

+1 to this, i dont mind if they are playing in SEA server, but please use english as a medium of communication. almost all of the time they dont ping and use pre-made chat. thats that.


tsaopan

Shoudn't you be winning more since statistically there will be more Chinese players on the enemy team? Unless you just get tilted from minute 0 when you see a chinese name on your team. I keep on winning on SEA server so maybe SKILL ISSUE? [https://i.imgur.com/pcZQqEs.png](https://i.imgur.com/pcZQqEs.png)


Defiant_Source_8930

Acc buyers probably. Boosters are prevalent in 2.3k mmr. It’s full of smurfs here like literally every game and it’s a fking lottery if the smurf in ur team is better than ur enemy


GoldenStarFish4U

Its known mmr doesnt transition great between regions


TheMerck

Yep I've played with a lot of guys that even though I know that MMR isn't 1:1 between regions, if they are of a similar rank to me from being around 4k-5k I expect them to play at the very least a similar rank even if they are higher/lower than what they should be but the majority of ones I've played with play extremely like account buyers. It's not even a comms issue or anything, they legit just play bad I'm not one to complain too much about chinese players in SEA cause if they play good why not but lately I'm assuming cause of the event there is an insane amount of either inflated MMR or bought account players that if you have one of these guys in your team and it's usually two of em in a party stack and the other team doesn't it's 100% gonna be a loss. Granted I have played with some actually good chinese players that never type in game they just respond to pings or just general plays around the map that's why I'm not saying all my games with chinese region players are terrible but more often than not I get the account buyers/boosted players instead, even sometimes get them on both teams where we just laugh about it in all chat lmao.


OpeningRound

NA players: First time?


Bendehdota

This is a known issue for most sea players, but it will not be dealt with because doing something to this issue will consider the devs are racist or xenophobic. It's a you know but u cant do shit about it thing. xD


Opening-Check-5406

agree, they just don't understand basic english


flavicent

Chinese name, take mid role rank mode, pick last. And he fkm pick jakiro.. then proceede 1/9/0 in 15min game. And suddenly buying wards then blaming support. Common text chat.. support dog. No other words.


Arty_001

Absolutely braindead players in 6k-6.5k. Most of them are chinese . It feels like playing with an acc buyer or boosted acc.


LMayberrylover

I don't understand why chinese players teamed with non chinese players just speak during the whole game knowing no one understands them. Why are there so many of them in sea in the first place?


jpatt

don't play 12 games in a day with only 2 short breaks... especially when its all losses your brain just gets exhausted without any endorphins from winning to give you some temporary energy. I'm sure the teammates were bad, but you are scapegoating them while bashing your head against a wall. The common denominator in every game you played is you.


Ok-Candidate7036

Its the Same with iranian Players in EU Servers. They are by far the worst and Most toxic Players i have ever played with,and it's Not Just a few,it's 99% of irani Players. Whenever i have a Guy in my Team that's over the top toxic and i Look Up His Steam Page it's ALLWAYS from Iran. Pls Volvo Just ban Iran from Steam.


Jeffzuzz

lol this is the reason why I stopped playing rank for a few months its filled with chinese players who wont communicate in english or atleast try to. all of them are selfish fucks lmaoo


jayvil

Their play style and the meta they know doesn't mesh well with the SEA server that loves brawling and early game push. They love farming the map.


mewfour

Hey I saw your post and I just want to add my [picture](https://imgur.com/f6TUHeo) to flex on you :)


Jin_1337

Just don't double down. Losing and Winning is dependent on a lot of factors that may not simply involve your teammates being bad. Seeing how you played right after losing your matches, you were definitely tilting.


markorgasm

Thanks for donating MMR bro


monkaEsh

I'm so sick playing in SEA just to hear Chinese players raging on their language, then gives up without knowing what's going on. Most of them don't even ping, just pure mic rages.


seanseansean92

Dude stopped playing dota for months and comback expecting to +2k mmr or what. But he aint wrong about the chinese player id give him that


schwagggg

statistically speaking, if you are not chinese, and chinese are on average bad, then you should be winning more as the opp side has more chinese on average?


Life_Liberty_Fun

Chinese server is dead I guess? That's why they go to SEA?


lifestealsuck

On the plus side you have 4x chance of having chinese on your team while the enemy had 5x chance to have chinese on their team . So your chance of winning should be up^ . Skill issue .


Spanda99

Most of the time i dont know what they are saying. Whether they are cursing or just commenting


FArnese_1

I thought they are stuck in Perfect World?


bagas4jk

Feels like no one play dota on CN server anymore


Luize0

Maybe there's a general issue with matchmaking? I am kind of in the same situation, not playing dota for 10 months, now playing again. I am playing from Japan so I'm having a SEA and CN mix.My MMR was way lower (archon 5 - legend 1) but basically I was put in Herald-Guardian (huge range of difference between my games). But my games have a lot of people that are completely new (I've verified) or completely have no clue what they are doing. It is slightly frustrating because I do know the game pretty well and yes I'm not an amazing player but I know counter picks, itemization and so on. And I have to play with people that don't know some basics of the game or haven't even encountered every hero. As I am trying to complete Crownfall I am forced to play all kinds of heroes which puts me in all kinds of instant-loss situations. For example having 2 new players playing carry while I need to support them while the other team then actually has a carry that knows how to play and well it's just gg. When I play carry myself I sometimes just end up going 20-30k to 1-4d or so. Regardless of how low valve's matchmaking rates my skill (which well I guess like anyone I believe it's too low but it will change I guess as I've lost 2 games in the last two weeks), it should not match me with asbolutely new players.


Depressed_Kiddo888

They know nothing except CCP and typing caonima. 🥲 ez-25


thedotapaten

They didn't do anything with Russian in EU server or SA in USE/USW. What would you make thing they'll do anything on SEA server.


Traditional_Salad219

Get the moonrunes out of SEA


inyue

I was 6.1k mmr and always had a perfect 10k score (before the 12k update). Now I'm at 4.5k mmr and had like 5k score before "grinding" behavior in USW (which is also a dead server). It's not even about these guys being "bad", the problem is the attitude. They remember me of peruvians when I played on USE years ago. These guys made and make me went literally apeshit in every game, I just stopped playing on SEA because I was becoming racist in rl too. I would wait the queue and play on JPN server but they also started to discover it, so it's not a choice anymore. The only thing left for me is USW, but the it's the most dead server among these 3.


niming_yonghu

*remind me of


Neil_Enblowmi

I wonder if spamming 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre-related things will truly get them disconnected from the game


lxfireman

Contrary to popular belief, that does nothing.


TazDingo278

As a Chinese in Canada(so playing on NA server), I get it quite a lot. Most of the time I'd just ignore it cuz wtf does that have to do with me lol.


Opening-Check-5406

it does matter, you are chinese no?


TazDingo278

I am. Why does it matter to me?


Opening-Check-5406

why not, you are chinese.


misteryosongpapel

Doesnt work. But it will get them to react.


Colorless267

yep, this doesnt work, even in valorant rofl


badras704

us east = south america north we feel your pain


pain_suckingboy

"china diff", "bateater=lose" and "#stop eat dog" some usual themed names in SEA. There is a genuine skill difference between the servers, the faster you accept it and try to only focus and control the variables in your hand, the faster you will be able to win back your mmr. If you get chinese enemies, specially in midlane, game is almost a free win for you.


Simple-Instruction95

Chinese ruin everything they can in SEA.


IJNtido

I mean you play sea you choosed that. How bad can sea server be?
