In the official Twitter account of Dota 2, one of the most popular games in the MOBA genre, a new publication about the wave of bans has been posted, Gamebomb.ru reports. Developers from Valve said that 40 thousand players were blocked for abuse of the player selection system. There are no specific reasons for this message.

“We banned more than 40 thousand accounts of players who did not use matchmaking systems as intended. These bans are related to Steam accounts, as well as to the bans inside Dota 2 itself for players who abused the system “
In the comments on the publication of the official Dota 2 account on Twitter, many users began to complain about an unfair ban, Gamebomb.ru reports. It was not the fact of blocking that made the players angry, but the absence of any explanation. “Thank you for banning me for anything. You can’t even explain what exactly I got banned for in my favorite game, ”wrote one of the enraged fans of Dota 2. Many players began to complain that the player selection system was looking for a match too long before, and after a wave of bans, everything can only get worse. Bans were also given to those who had long since stopped playing Dota 2. One of them wrote in the comments that he quit the game 3 years ago, but still ended up among 40 thousand blocked users.
Valve’s Dota 2 multiplayer action is available to everyone on Steam for free. The game is one of the three most popular games in the service.
