Valve introduced a new restriction for Dota 2 players without prior notice

Players with a low conduct score in Dota 2 will now be unable to draw on the map. Valve has released a small but significant update to the game.

This information comes from the data miner Dota Stepana Telegram channel.

"Now, if the conduct score is less than 5000, you will not be able to draw on the map"

This means that if a player frequently receives reports due to toxicity or violates community rules, they will no longer be able to communicate with teammates during a match. Previously, even with a lower conduct score, players could still use the map, but now, along with the loss of voice and text chat privileges, drawing on the map is also restricted.

It's worth noting that restoring the conduct score can be challenging, requiring a significant number of matches to accumulate several hundred points of conduct.

It has also become known that the Dota 2 developers simultaneously conducted a mass ban of esports player accounts with even prominent players affected, alongside the recent update.
