Last week we suggested that

Dota might be getting harder . Well, that could be about to change… In a bid to improve the overall Dota experience for everyone, Valve has taken some pretty dramatic steps. In their October 10 th

update, Valves removes chat for toxic players.

But what constitutes toxic? And exactly what privileges have been taken away? Find out all this and more as we explore this bold new strategy in Dota 2.

Yes, but only for a certain demographic of players. We’ll go into that in a bit more detail shortly.

The removal of the chat feature involves denying access to all forms of chat for those Valve deems toxic. This means they will no longer have access to either voice or text chat during a game of Dota 2.

The intended effect is to stop players who are extremely toxic from ruining the experience of others. Valve themselves have implemented this feature both as a protection measure and as a warning system. This should act as a deterrent for players who are close to or below the threshold, hopefully encouraging them to improve their behavior.
