After 8000 hours invested on the game, I have gone through with a full research procedure in multiple servers with people submitting answers in polls over twitter, facebook, instagram and even the Dota 2 lobbies.

My research has led me to the conclusion that there is a serious problem with the Dota 2 match making system. While a lot of people may suffer from smurfs, or feeders, or even new players... Nothing beats a "jaja" or a "xaxa" or a "wkwk" in servers which are primarily English.

With players that are unable to communicate, the team falls apart even before the picking phase ends. While some toxic people cause havoc that is worse, there is a strong need of a "limitation" to where people can actually play their games.

I suggest a COMPLETE region lock for the game to be implemented. This does not push off immigrants off the table in any way, since they too will be region locked based on their primary language.

Valve, at this point should start by experimenting with a region locked day or two without the people knowing just for the sake of research. Then coming forth with the results, they can easily see how the lack of a region lock is literally tearing the whole community apart.

I too am a witness of such behavior by players, while I choose to mute them completely, this is disgusting for the players. I have had players in my team who don't speak anything but Spanish and throw the game because I am the only one speaking in English.

I suggest that even though this should be placed as a test, a regional lock NEEDS to be implemented for better communication among players who speak the same language.
