A cracking change is pulsating through the Dota community, sparked by one player’s experience with a seemingly revamped behaviour score system.

Summary

  • Redditor, HarryP22, noticed a significant increase in their Behaviour Score.
  • Debate ensued about the fairness of this newfound generous score.
  • Community’s divided opinion on whether Valve has fixed or broken the Behaviour Score.

Whirlwind of Support and Skepticism

Sharing his joy, HarryP22 posted his sudden and substantial increase in Behaviour Score prompting a flurry of responses. User juventinosochi humorously questioned “By what you say it’s broken again?”, while Soft_Trade5317 speculated on an overcorrection by developers.

Tide of Cynicism and Wit

Amid the elation, scepticism, and jests, JoelMahon brought up an intriguing counterpoint, poking fun at players who previously defended Valve’s infallibility while BabaLamine14 confessed to being indifferent to the Behaviour Score algorithm, believing it always kept them in the right range.

The Broader Perspective

lolpezzz, amongst others, found the situation ‘crazy’. verytoxicbehaviour excitedly pointed out that the score change seemed to apply only to normal games, as his friend hadn’t noticed any differences in turbo matches.

Finally, a shout-out to the Dota community for their spirited engagement and humorous candor. We may not have concrete answers, but we do have a bustling conversation that captures the essence of gaming – fun, communal and ever-evolving.
