But they did also mention changes to it.

Multiple people ganging up on you to report you in the same game has no effect on whether or not you are banned. We are looking at patterns of behavior over time only.
If you are currently communication banned, any communication reports you receive in that time period do not contribute towards, nor result in additional ban

Valve's always been a shit company, doesn't surprise me they'd take this route.

The refusal to use actual people and just go with an automated system is fucking retarded. The fact that you can be muted for 160 hours for harmlessly taunting people in chat, when the company put in taunts to the game. Just goes to show how fucking braindead this system actually is.
Do you honestly think they would put someone, or multiple people on staff to go through that much bullshit with complaints? It's a monumental waste of time and energy (and money). I agree the system is bad, but thinking they should have people monitoring it is kind of silly. Something has to be done for sure, because it's being abused non-stop.

I guess my response would be don't make a video game if you're not willing to devote the resources in to doing it right?

HoN (S2) uses volunteer moderators (I think they get a certain amount of HoN-bucks per month or something, but this is purely speculative). I don't know how many there are, but players receive an infinite number of reports (not 2 per week) and if they submit bad reports (or caught abusing the system) twice they're temporarily suspended from reporting. There's an appeal forum, but decisions rarely get overturned by the S2 staffer who looks at the appeal.

Exactly how LoL does it and how FUCKING COUNTER-STRIKE GLOBAL OFFENSIVE DOES IT. The other Valve game. Company is just brain dead.

rofl, Kuroky stealing true form and then stealing lone druids bear was great. Running around as a pussy.

I'm watching now and it's 18 (Na'Vi) to 5 (Alliance) and Na'Vi just killed mid rax. Were they not supposed to do this well?

That Rosh raping Alliance got from Navi was pretty much gg. Fun to see BH being played again.

At the bottom rax there, having the scythe already qued up on the Mag was awesome. The second he blinked in to the fight he was a pig and died. That shit is so good.

Well, Navi can still throw the next 2 games

Alliance got a lot of "strong" heroes, but they gave Puppey Chen, Magnus gets beaten by QoP and Bulldog was forced into jungle after first 3 minutes...

na'vi hasnt been playing the best lately but i feel like they just turn it on and off in online qualifiers then you see the real Na'vi in LANs, and their lineup only had 1 real hard stun so thats another reason it looked like a tough game lineup wise to the casters, and alliance just came off winning 7-0 G1.

Well, think of it this way: Alliance has probably spent all their practised strats at G-1 and Puppey definitely saw the games, so he has an idea how to draft.

The ghost scepters/halberds were pretty smart when most all of their damage got gimped from that. That + mek and hand of god + bkb was just too much staying power for Alliance.

It's a shame ViCi Gaming lost yesterday because I don't think Rattlesnake has the potential (at least yet) to do well in the tournament. Hopefully DD wins, I think they have a slightly better chance.
