The behavior adjustment system has been updated. If you praise someone, you might encounter them again. If you meet a player you don't like, click the "Dislike" button to see them less often in your team. 

The complaint system has also changed. Toxicity in Dota 2 will decrease since players can now report toxicity, smurfing, cheating, and game hindrance. Players can file complaints during and after the game, with no limit on the number. The company will investigate and take action against reported users.

The system will analyze toxicity complaints in real-time. If it determines that a player is sending offensive messages, they will be muted in both text and voice chat for the rest of the game.

Good news for players who value a pleasant gaming experience: each user will now have a courtesy rating, letting you know who's pleasant to play with and who to avoid.
