Commendations Pop Up

Because it is a fully useless system that the majority of the players never use/don't care about, and since you can just ask your friends to commend you multiple times it creates useless information. Also most people don't commend friendly, teaching, forgiving, etc... people, they just commend people that killed a lot in the game. Tired of seeing people from the other team begging for commends at the end of the game.

This system needs to be fully remade.

Being commended feels good and right now it's the only price for being friendly (other than being friendly itself).
I don't see why it bothers you.

You can only get commended one time by one person, after that if you try to commend someone again it says you have already commended this player. I agree the system needs a re-haul but this could be a good temporary fix to garner more interest.

I don't think this should apply to the report feature though I think the non confrontational way that is handled is fine.

+1 for the thumbs up idea, for commending people after a game, with the log. I agree with the idea that people dont really go for the commendations as it is time consuming, and shitty. And the reason for commending people (friendly, leadership etc.) if i want to commend someone, its generally for playing well or being a good leader or whatever, just thumbs ups would do. The pop up idea is good, but not in game, maybe afterwards on your profile.
Reporting people and for why they are reported, i have no problem with, i regularly get msgs for "We recently took action against one of the players you reported" blablabla, and LPQ is enough to frustrate ppl to shit. Make em wait 5 mins before a game can be started, for 2 weeks IMO

Bah, no, that's too easy to think about it, it's better to say that everyone is somewhat an asshole...

You misunderstood, it's not like I think verbal / text abuse are forgivable, it's just that there are SO many cases they shouldn't qualify for reports. I'd rather have bad manners tied to a +1 -1 system and reserve reports for truly game-ruining experiences like griefing, AFKing, etc.

Remember you can always mute the ragers etc. so there is a 'fix'. On the other hand, griefing has no fix except reporting and that's why these cases need to be dealt with ASAP. That's my reasoning.

+1 and -1 system overall is a good idea, but could be abused by people giving -1s for nothing. I think that maybe a better idea would be if you were actually required to recommend or nope every player that has played in the match with you. On the end you wouldn't be able to leave the match without grading other people's activity.

Nah, people would see it as a chore. Also most of the time you focus on 1-2 players and you have no clue on everyone else's behavior. In the end supports or people who just have a bad KDA by the end of the match would get downvoted to oblivion, since that's the most evident thing you'd be able to track at the end of the game.

True abuse would come from premades mass-downvoting a single person (just like it happens with reports). Limiting teams to 1 'collective' vote would fix it though.

Commendation system should be scraped

It has no use and even without use there's too much commend me texts popupin up in 'lover' matchmaking. It doesn't server any function cause of the fake commendation. You can't judge player by the quantity of Commends he has + if it would server a purpose then it would be even worse.

- Reports are handed out for way too many things, voice / text abuse shouldn't qualify for reports, since everyone is somewhat an asshole.

What? Seriously? Now I feel like an asshole...

On a more serious hand, voice and text abuse should be reported, not ommitted. Playing a game with someone that is shouting all the time "what a f noob" is not certainly the nicest experience. Yes, I and other players do behave noobishly sometimes. I do not deny that I've not been playing much of DoTA 2 in comparison to other players. But think about it in other way. It's not our (noobs) fault that you were put with us in the team. Obviously the enemy team has the same situation (noobs with pro players). And now that we're stuck together, how about winning the game together, instead of insulting each other? Bah, no, that's too easy to think about it, it's better to say that everyone is somewhat an asshole...

Just allow players to commend other players in their recent matches.

Oh yeah. Thats a good idea if recent means 1-2 matches.

[Irrelevante]

yeah but people just swap 4-commends for 4-commends

[frankles]

If you could commend after exiting the game, it would be cool. Many times I forget to do it before disconnecting.

As annoying as forgetting to commend good players is (I've done it more than a few times), it was intentionally changed this way after chat channels were flooded with 'COMMEND ME 4x I COMMEND U 4x', presumably to make commends actually have some significance.
