@Beastwolf: blocking doesn't do shit sadly
it's still a gamble wheater you'll be match with or against those paticular greifers
and LPQ has been nerfed so much people ragequit on a daily basis

@Zacsi: Twitter, Battle.net, banks. Two-factor authentication, I don't have a list.

@TheSharpmarksman: Because otherwise you can abuse the report system to mass report players your team gets mad at? Does blocking atleast make it so you never see people?

Who cares about ranked anymore, it's a cesspit anyway no matter what rank
but you missed the biggest update change, you can only report enemies for com abuse, meaning if someone on your enemy team feeds and ruins the game, he can go out scotch free

People still care about that piece of shit CS:GO?

@Zacsi: That video doesn't concern information security at all. That video concerns an entirely different topic.

I will always have the oppinion that giving your phonenumber and other personal information to a corporation is a BAD move for a consumer and is VERY IRRESPONSIBLE.

And here I thought "Smurfing" was when you use whimsical tales to not-so subtly educate children about the wonders of communism. You learn something new everyday.

Hmm, that won't prevent people from picking Keeper of the Light against Night Stalker or Luna.

I don't think I've given out my phone number to anything but a pizza place. Don't see it happening in the future either.

No smurfette?

This is great and all except for the fact that you can literally google cell number spoofer, and create a spoof number to use whenever you wish

I will NEVER, EVER, play a game that requires a phone number. SMDH

Having high skill level players playing low skill level matches with and against low skill level people can't be that serious an issue to justify the phone number requirement can it? From what I remember Dota 2 is a team based game.

Sweet job valve, making it easier for angry players to hunt you down if you're enough of an ass, way to go.

@???????? ??????: Working on it, thanks for the notice.

@???????? ??????: Yep, the Google authorization link also needs to be fixed. It doesn't work if you're viewing NerfNow over HTTPS.

Atleast then if the card is stolen, there will be a charge back at some point and they can just purge that steam account.

People will just make "smurf" google accounts and get a free google voice number or any of the other services out there to get a phone number.

They would be better just making people spend $5 on a dota2 ranked unlock and give it to charity or if you have at least $5 of game purchases on steam.

Jo, please repair the Facebook authorization link, it's not working for quite some time.
On topic: I hope Paragon gets the same feature once its ranked comes out. Smurfs are any competitive game's plague and should be treated as one.
